Proverbs 30:4
Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment?
Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son’s name, If you know?

CALVARY CHAPEL TEL AVIV
Calvary Chapel Tel Aviv is founded and headed by Stephen and Patricia Apple; resident Pastor and missionaries from Calvary Chapel Vista, Ca. They have been faithfully serving in Tel Aviv for more than 7 years. They have a heart to reach out to the poor of Israel and the local Jews and non-Jews. Currently their Saturday, Sabbath, services are held in the skyscraper Metropolitan Hotel's banqueting hall, off the coast of the Mediterranean by the boardwalk in downtown Tel Aviv.
 |
| The hotel is generous to also provide refreshments, coffee, and pastries for the church. Students from the Bible College frequented this fellowship for fellowship, church, and even helped out to set up sound equipment when needed. On the left standing up is Robyn Miller, resident missionary from Horizon School of Evangelism who has been serving here for over a year and is the worship leader when present. |
 |
| Midweek studies are held at a ministry apartment that also houses visiting missionaries, a local "adopted" Israeli soldier, and many supplies and clothing for the ministry. The above photo is taken after a Wednesday study taught by Bryan Harrington, resident missionary and assistant pastor. On the left is Alex and Pauly, visiting missionaries, who spent 6 months living and serving here during this time. In this kitchen the food is prepared for the local park outreach depicted below. |
 |
| Pauly is at the serving table after the local poor have received and eaten their food. They are also given a bag of toiletries, clothing, prayer, and an invitation to come to other ministries offered throughout the week. On the right Patricia Apple is chatting with Priscilla Pascual, former servant at Tel Aviv, and other locals of the church. |
34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.'

| Alexandrah, Priscilla, and more frequenters of this outreach and the church. Some of which found out about the church through this outreach and find family, comfort and physical help from the church. |
 |
| Most of the homeless in this park are Sudanese refugees that have come to Israel with nothing and are now living in the park under the trees. Here we see their "living quarters" and "comfortable" beds on mattresses in the park. Their situation is so difficult in Sudan that they find greater rest in these circumstances. It is these kind of people that the Apples have had a heart to reach. It is here that they receive help in their time of need. |
So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.
