Welcome to our site.

We are the Norton family.

Would you please consider supporting us at this time of transition and waiting.

We know we are called to serve and are making ourselves available and waiting to see what doors our Heavenly Father opens for us.

Pete is British and Tess is South African. We were living in the UK and raising our family when we had the call to move to Israel. It was quite the adventure and we hope we get the opportunity to share our story with you. In February 2020 Pete went on a two week trip to prune grape vines on the mountains of Samaria, the very vines the Prophet Jeremiah wrote about (Jeremiah 31:5). This was life changing and we knew that our future was going to be in Israel. We served with an organisation until January of 2025 when God started a new adventure for us. We are now back in Israel after an amazing three month tour of the US, and trying to find the place where we can best serve the people here. We are feeling drawn to the Galilee and are in the process of finding somewhere to live. Our desire is to find a property where we have the space to host our friends from around the world. We want to serve the local communities in any way we can and build relationships throughout the area. We also want to learn about all the places of significance so we can show them to you when you come.

We have already been offered the opportunity to partner with a Jewish organisation. We were invited to help with a BBQ/grill out for 300 IDF reservists on the border of Lebanon, and have seen several opportunities to bless local communities. We are also looking forward to connecting with other ministries and fellowships in the area.

If you would like to be a part of this new venture please pray for us, and please prayerfully consider supporting us financially. Our short term costs are relatively high until we secure a long term rental home, and also with rental vehicle costs until we can purchase something. We hope to send out regular emails, and we have a WhatsApp and Signal group for day to day information on where we are and what we are doing. Please let us know if you would like to receive any of these.

If you would like to support us financially please contact Pete and he will send you a link through which you can setup a monthly donation or make a one-off donation. If you do not already have our contact details please contact us using the form below.
