Tel Aviv, Mount Carmel
FIRST STOP: “THE KIDNAPPED SQUARE”
The large square formerly called Tel Aviv Art Museum Square has been renamed The Kidnapped Square. Here families, friends, and concerned Israelis gather to honor and await news of the hostages. A giant digital clock counts the days, hours, and minutes of their captivity. On the 63rd day, our 63-person Solidarity Tour went to the square to demonstrate that we stand solidly with them.
Two men, directly affected, came to talk with us. They asked us to tell their story to everyone we could.
The first was a doctor who’d been a longtime resident of one of the attacked kibbutzim and served as physician to several others along the Gaza border. He recently retired and moved elsewhere. Early on October 7 his cell phone began to ring. One frantic call after another came from the required “safe places” where people he’d known for years were hiding from terrorists. They were unable to reach each other. But their calls went through to him. For many grueling hours he served as a go-between-messenger to the callers, relating their messages from one to another. His voice broke as he described the hard decisions he had to make.
“For instance,” he said, “through the hours I had to decide, ‘Do I tell #1 that #2 was just murdered?’”
He examined some of the hostages after they were released. He said they were in bad physical condition.
Romi’s Father
Eitan Gonen wore a T-shirt with the picture of his 23-year-old daughter, Romi, as he spoke with us. He told us she was the “sandwich” child in the middle of his five children.

L to R
Terry Brim, Shelli Brim, Eitan Gonen, Billye Brim
At 10:15 am, she called to tell her family she’d been shot in the hand. Her mother said, “You are at a concert. How could you have been shot?”
She and her friend Gaya were hiding in a bush from where Gaya called her friend Ben. Ben, now known in Israel as a hero, was at the concert. Ben had crammed people into his car and driven them to safety in Beer Sheva. He turned around, went back to the concert, and rescued another carload. Ben selflessly saved twelve lives. He then headed back to the concert site and to the bush where Romi and Gaya were hiding. They got into his car as did another young man.
It was from Ben’s car that Romi made her last call at 10:58. She told her mother her arm was bleeding and she thought she was going to die.
It is now known that Ben and the other passengers were murdered. Romi’s fate was not known until one of the released hostages reported that they saw her alive in captivity.

Eitan Gonen, father of Romi, shared heartbreaking account
Eitan said, “We know she has been violated, but she is alive! I am not a hero. She is.”
Guy asked if we would pray with Eitan. We joined hands. All the group. Eitan and a few others waiting. The Lord gave me utterance as we prayed for Romi and all the others.
Remembrances
A long white table is set with places for the 240 hostages taken. 138 yellow chairs represent those still in captivity.

The 138 yellow chairs

The White Table at The Kidnapped Square
We stood behind each white chair where the names and faces of the hostages are placed. And we prayed.
We then drove around the nearby buildings which house Army Headquarters, Air Force Headquarters, Offices of the Chief of Staff. We prayed for them according to the Scriptures for wisdom, guidance.
I know you are praying.
Pray for the hostages. Their families.
The leaders and the people of Israel.
Pray that the leaders of Israel will not be pressured by the U.S. or any others to abandon the goal of completely wiping out Hamas.
Carmel—The Place of Elijah
On this rainy day, we drove to Mount Carmel and the place of Elijah’s triumph over the prophets of Baal. This site overlooks the Jezreel Valley and Israel’s large, almost hidden, airfield. So I also teach here about the coming Ezekiel 38, 39 war.

Teaching inside church at Carmel Ezekiel 38, 39
Today there were no other buses. (There is usually congestion with many buses and people here.) So I taught inside the church. I did not know until Guy told me that a group of students here on a field trip from a nearby Maronite Christian Village gathered at the door as I taught. They listened with rapt attention. Not wanting to leave. Pictured here are our guides giving them our contact information.

Maronite Christian pupils getting our contact information
Druze Falafels
Yesterday Guy called our Druze friends who own the restaurant we always go to after Carmel.

My Druze friend
Normally one has to stand in line with other buses who have stopped there. Today we were the only two.
When Guy called yesterday, he told them to prepare because he was bringing a large group.
The owner said, “Guy, you are joking.”
Guy said, “Billye Brim is coming, and she’s bringing a group.”
“Oh,” he said, “Billye is coming! Now I believe you!”
When we walked in both the husband and wife kissed me on both cheeks, hugged me, and their eyes filled with tears.
The owner told Guy and the drivers, “I’m not making any profit on this. But I had to open up and provide food for Billye and her group.”
I didn’t know he’d said that, but I knew it must be that way. So I was led to give the wife what we call “a Pentecostal handshake” upon leaving.
Pray for the many businesses, like this, throughout Israel that are hurt by the lack of tourists coming to this Land whose third largest income is that provided by pilgrims coming to visit this land of the Bible.
Pray for the guides and drivers who have lost their source of income.
Pray for the economy of Israel.

Thank you dear Billye, I cry when I read your blog, especially this one, but am blessed to have the updates. I was with you in Israel in 2013 ( from U.K.)and the trip changed my life and may have saved my life too. I am part of a prayer hub that stands and prays with and for Israel and the Jewish people, our leader is Chinese descent messaianic Hebrew. This evening we will celebrate Hannukah together (7-14 of us from U.K. , U.S. and Europe on zoom) Thank you, especially for your faithfulness, shalom.
Oh, Ms. Billye. That we get to hear such stories from Israel. Thank you. Thank you.
We are here. The pray-ers are praying for Israel, her economy, her peace, as well as for the rest of each of your minds. That as you each lay to sleep at night you are peacefully cleared of all attacks of the enemy and given solid and peace-filled sleep!! In Jesus Name!!! Amen amen
May the God of Israel Protect all who have been taken. May the Lord provide healing to all those hurt physically, emotionally, mentally. Give strength to those who need. But may the Lord Jesus Christ, Open the Eyes of this World to the Truth of what is Happening in Israel.
Thank You Sister Billye for keeping us informed. You are a blessing. May the Lord keep you all in everything that you all do over there.
Thank you Dr. Billye for sharing with all of us. You are a blessing to many. May the Lord protect you and the whole group with you. Psalm 91
Thank you for sharing. I read with bated breath and a lump in my throat. Praying for all these people and the unimagined issues they are living. Praising God for His protective watchcare. Blessed be the Name of The Lord!
What a blessing to the Land and the People. Our hearts go with you and our prayers.
Thank you Pastor Billye – I share your blogs with multiple prayer Warriors- we are blessing Israel with fervent prayers.
My heart is so touched by your blogs of Israel. I stand in faith, prayer and manifestation of the mighty hand of God working for His land and His people.
First Thank you Ms Billye for your blogs, and father we pray for your people and the land, we pray with your profit and friend as you instructed us to do. We lift our hands in praise knowing that you have told us all things to come that gives us great comfort! And we continue to hold fast in prayer! Much love Jamie Wwp
Hello Billye and family, thank you for being in the Land and allowing us to be with you through prayer and the blogs. Love y’all and I’m praying
My heart is crying for Romi…that I need to pray in the Holy Ghost because I know and believe my Prayers are heard by my Massiah Yeshua. I remember the the snow in Texas and another prayer I prayer I prayed that I’m ashamed that prayed it. I know my Massiah Yeshua has forgiven me but it has put the fear of of my Abba God in me that Im asking my Abba God how He wants me to pray. I’ve had experience. Of device protections over my son and myself while I was with my daughter in my belly our Massiah Yeshua is so loving and good He cares
I’m going to be honest. Whenever the alarm on my phone comes to remind me to pray, my flesh resists. I begin, and my flesh resists. I am partway through, and my flesh resists. If I miss it, which has happened, for one reason or another, I pray when I remember.
I imagine my body isn’t used to me praying so much, but I am persevering through it. I also imagine that the resistance is because what I am praying is important.
Strange things have also been happening. Once, as I began to pray, a huge spider (the size of a quarter, of a species I couldn’t identify) was crawling toward me. I trapped it under a jar on the floor, and I set my phone upon it, to weigh it down, and continued to pray. Then, I released it in the middle of the street afterwards.
Family members keep trying to tell me “important” things when I pray. My body slept through the alarm once. My moodiness did not WANT to pray “right now.” My mind decides, when I am praying, to remind me of important things I need to do. It’s been all sorts of things.
I know you said not to feel any condemnation, so I am at peace about it all, and I just keep doing the tongues, clearing my mind, obeying my parents, and taking out threats and attempts to make me fear. I won’t be afraid; I refuse. Whenever I am reminded of Israel or US politics, throughout the the day, and I do not even watch the news, I remember it is important that I pray. I choose life, not fleeting passions like watching movies, when I am supposed to be praying.
