Home from Texas, Steve Martin

Home From Texas

June 30, 2026

Greetings once again. I am back home from my month-long Texas trip with Christian Friends of Israel. The plane landed in Charlotte at 11:30 pm Saturday the 27th and I was in bed at 1:07 am. Yeah Lord!

And…in time for my amazing wife’s birthday on Sunday the 28th. (She poked me in bed when I quietly got in.)

As you may have known in my “pre-trip” (no reference to a so-called rapture) messages, I was excited about going but apprehensive about the hours and miles of driving once in the BIG state of Texas.

Well, for the record, we did travel over 3,500 miles in 27 days. I accomplished over 3K of those behind the 15 passenger van, with the last two benches taken out for the six bags of 50-pound each luggage, plus eight boxes of books and magazines. (I will let you estimate the driven hours. Ok, they must have passed the 55 hour mark, using my accounting skills.)

It was a “Father-led, Lord Jesus provided, and Holy Spirit directed ministry trip. It won’t be the last.

I now know where Dallas, Fort Worth, Princeton, McKinney, Allen, Abilene, Odessa, Midland, Pecos, Junction, Del Rio, Brackenville, San Antonio, Houston, Kingwood, and at least seven Buc-ees (ask Laurie what those are!) towns/cities in the Lone Star state reside. And the 22 square mile cattle ranch just north of the Rio Grande. Thank you Lashawn for your joyful hospitality and having the night meeting in the sheep barn!

Did you realize Israel is also a lone star state/nation? Just sayin’.

And I did bring back a pair of black, full size cowboy boots, given to me as a gift (found in a host’s closet, so already broken in. And the right size!)

Sharon Sanders, co-founder of CFI in Jerusalem, did a marvelous job of teaching the importance of Israel, the Jewishness of Jesus (Yeshua), and why CFI has existed for 40 years in Jerusalem, and will continue to, as we expand to bless and comfort His Chosen people.

As I recorded all her messages, some worship times, plus just “fun” travel visits on the few days off, you can see some (hopefully all) on this YouTube channel. I have four playlists created during the trip.


I will have more to share as the coming days permit. Thank you for your prayers, seeing my videos and photos (Facebook, Signal, X, and four websites) along the way.

Ahava and Shalom,

Steve Martin

What A God - message by Steve Martin

What A God

For the past year, ever since I first heard the song by SEU Worship (South East University in Lakeland, Florida) on XM’a channel “The Message”, I have been “addicted” to the worship song What A God.

Even while Laurie and I spent the three months October 2025-January 2026 volunteering in Jerusalem, I would listen to it early mornings around 5 am on the back mezzanine three floors up (and turned it up loud to drown out the Muslim’s “call to prayer” racket noise.)

And so it continues here in Dallas, Texas, on this month-long ministry tour with Sharon Sanders, co-founder of Christian Friends of Israel, and the team in the Lone Star State (just like Israel’s flag!).

I listen to “What a God” almost every morning.

If you too listen to the words, they simply state, “You are my everything.” Truth. For He is.

I miss my wife. I miss my family and friends. But as I hear and obey the call of the Lord on my life to share His love for the Jews and Israel, especially since anti-semitism has so dramatically risen and hatred spreads, as prophesied by Yeshua Himself, our God, the same One Whom is the Living God of Israel and His Chosen People, my friends the Jews, I know I am in His perfect will.

And I know how awesome our Lord, Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach, is. What a God!!!

Be encouraged in your walk today. The Bible does say, “And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they will not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” 2 Corinthians 4:3-4, NASB

As the world continues to turn away from life to darkness, we will continue to share the Words of Life and live with them. To life! L’chaim!

If the highest place I reach is at Your feet, then I've done it all
If thе best thing that I've seen is Your glory, then I'vе seen it all
Your love has changed my life, forever satisfied
God, You are my everything.” ( What A God

Ahava and shalom,

Steve Martin

P.S. I have a pretty good playlist by the way.
