Wrestling has always been part of the re- ality for this nation that is smaller in total landmass than the state of New Jersey. Despite repeated wars throughout her his- tory, and more recent attacks from terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, Israel still remains the focal point for religious zealots, secular world leaders, and people of faith like you and me.


Why is that? The answer has something to do with


God’s promise... ... a promise that came down through our forefather Abraham and extends beyond this tiny Nation, beyond the larger popu- lations of Jews and Gentiles who have accepted His blessing of salvation, and straight to individual hearts turned toward the Father.


Te story of Israel and God’s promise


really begins with one man’s struggle—a struggle we can each relate to as we strive to overcome our own tendencies to grasp for opportunities in our own strength instead of surrendering to God’s greater plan.
