In the Bible we read about sheep as a metaphor for people. That’s nice and poetic, but there is a reason God put that metaphor in His book – a reason connected to His land and people of Israel. Samuel and Keila Wearp have learned about that through hands-on experience! These newlyweds had a working honeymoon in Israel, where they led a team of Christian volunteers in an expedition to shear sheep on a farm in the Biblical heartland of Judea. It was the first adventure of their new ministry, Rising Sparks. We learn about it in this four-part conversation, but before we hear about their work in Israel, we get to hear Keila’s story!
Tending sheep, like tending a garden, is an occupation that can teach us about our connection with our Creator. Barry Phillips and David Jones investigate that connection in their midrash, “Adam As A Type of Priest.” Will Spires has been singing about this connection for many years, as we hear in the musical selections for this show.
