| Experience and Employment (See also "My Calling to Israel") | |||||||||||
| Israel: July 2005 - September - 2006 | The Biblical Garden in Ein Kerem closed and I moved to a little room in an Arab hostel with my computer working 14 - 16 hours a day updating websites & publishing articles; until November when the money from my last job ran out. From then I needed to live in faith, camping (3 months), living with my friend George Grispos (5 months, still able to work on websites and broaden my presence on the internet because I was online all the time), living in hostels with financial help from my son Jorik (a professional photographer) and my friend Vince Stuker (a freelance guide in Jerusalem) | ||||||||||
| Israel: December 2004 - June 2005 | I got my job back at the Biblical Garden in Ein Kerem and again cooked the biblical meal, while also keeping up my own assignment of "observing" and reporting. | ||||||||||
| Israel: December 2003 - November 2004 |
My cooking job had been taken and I had to live in faith most of the
year, doing websites for people at times for a bed. It was nevertheless a
very meaningful time in that I could developed a business plan to
settle new immigrants and refugees and acquiring land in Israel by setting
up campsites that can evolve into villages and towns. See
http://holyland-camping.tripod.com
In another project with fellow South African, Koos Huizer, the concept and website "Highways to Jerusalem" was established (setting up tabernacles on the way to Jerusalem and connecting them to form routes that could facilitate immigration and even escape of Zionist refugees from the nations to Israel - See http://highways-to-jlm.tripod.com) I could also live with my friend George Grispos for some months, that enabled me to do a lot of web work. |
