Hello!
We are Brook and Becca. After
getting hitched last fall, we jumped on a plane and arrived in Tel Aviv,
Israel. We have been spending the
last year learning, loving, and livin’ on pita! We seek to follow Jesus wherever He leads us, bringing a
smile to His face. Ultimately, we
yearn to serve Abba, each other, and our neighbors. Our hearts beat for
righteousness, peacemaking, and freedom for the poor and downtrodden. We are ponderers, adventurers, and
often homebodies. Old souls, yet
forever childlike.
Why
Tree61?
Isaiah
61 is a special passage that we desire to live out. Jesus quoted this passage when he began preaching in his
hometown. As followers of Him, we
desire to live in the same way. The
scripture says those who receive God’s freedom and comfort will be called ‘oaks
of righteousness.’ We have
personally been freed from darkness and desire to share this gift we have
received with others. We desire
our lives to be filled with righteousness, grace, and never ending praise.
This
blog consists of musings, experiences, and encouragements. Please join us, dear friend, as we move
onward. Our next step will be
jumping continents and moving to Guatemala, in order to serve at an orphanage
and bilingual school. Jumping from the Middle East to Central America will come
with some bumps, we are sure! This
is why we greatly appreciate you laughing with and praying for us.
Dear
friend, our prayer is that our story is an encouragement to you. Thanks for stopping by.
Hugs,
Becca
and Brook
