(Sergio) So if you're wondering: How did this car get up here?
You need to ask that man.
(Rhoda) He's crazy.
I don't know how he got it up there from down here.

(car engine revving)
He got right here.
I was afraid he was gonna fall.
Good driver, though. Good driver.

So, we are in search of a woman,
a person in the Gush Halav town.
We don't know her name.
We don't know her phone number or address,
but we do know her granddaughter and daughter,
or just granddaughter?
- Granddaughter. - Just the granddaughter's name.
And Suhail has been asking around people,
just stopping and going into stores
and seeing people on the street
and asking them if they know this person,
and they've been directing us from place to place.
So what we're doing is we're just walking around
and asking people for this person.
Hopefully we'll be able to find this person
and deliver her a gift
which is part of a ministry that Suhail is involved in
where they give bags of food for people.
And at the same time, it gives them the opportunity
to witness Christ to them.
She told me: Go this way and go up.
Let's go.

(Sergio) Finding the family was nothing short of a miracle.
And while my father-in-law Suhail
stayed to pray and share the Gospel with them,
Rhoda and I stepped out
for a short walk in the neighborhood.
So, we're going for an old synagogue,
and it's somewhere over there.
Let's keep going.
(Rhoda) No high heels on this path.
Nuh-uh.
We are in Gush Halav, a 3,000-year-old Jewish town
all the way from the days of Joshua ben Nun.
We're on our way to an ancient synagogue
which is located right behind us.
There is another one inside the town,
but we're gonna see the one that has more remainings to it.
- Are you excited to see it? - Yes.
Let's go.
(Rhoda) The synagogue was built in the 3rd century after Christ.
The Jews that's lived here
made their riches by trading with the kingdom of Tyre,
which is only about an hour drive northwest.
Historians believe that this area produced the best olive oil
in reference to Deuteronomy 8:8:
A land with wheat and barley, vines and fig trees,
pomegranates, olive oil, and honey.
When archaeologists surveyed the synagogue,
they found 1,943 bronze coins
dating back to as early as the 1st century BC.
(Sergio) Wow. I cannot believe you found them.
How did you find them in the end?
I came to this restaurant behind us,
and I found a guy,
and I asked him:
I'm looking for a lady, an old lady.
And he tried and tried and then said:
Okay. Thank you anyway.
He said: Wait. Wait. Wait. I'll call my mom.
And he called and he said:
Momma, someone here asking about Em-Naji.
Who is Em-Naji?
I said: Em-Naji. It's against you exactly
where you own the restaurant.
He said: Oh. Now I remember. Yeah, yeah.
You just go this and the third house.
She just came from hospital.
So were you able to pray with her?
Yes, yes, yes.
It was a great opportunity to talk to her also, you know.
And this sister came from Ramah,
and she invited us next time
to Ramah, to Jerusalem.
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you;
and lo, I am with you always,
even to the end of the age. Amen --Mathew 28:19-20

(Rhoda) So, we're eating Middle Eastern food.
And this is baba ganoush, and we have a lot of salads.
We have eggplant salad, carrot salads,
bean salads, falafels, and fried yummies.
Tomato salad, tahini salad, another eggplant salad.
And then we have their mushroom salad,
hummus, fava beans,
olives and turkey salad.
And cabbage and Greek salad.
Corn salad.
They're all yummy.

(Sergio) Wow.
I'm not sleeping tonight.
The life of a disciple is not ordinary,
and I can see it firsthand in Suhail
who uses every opportunity to help out, encourage,
and share the good news.
May this be an encouragement for you
not to be ashamed of the Gospel,
but be bold and go out into this world
and spread the glory of His name.
