01The Unseen Battle: Lisa's Family Mission in Jerusalem

In the heart of Jerusalem, a city steeped in history and religious significance, the Bentley family embarked on a mission that would test their faith and resolve. Their story, as told in Lisa Misraje Bentley's "Saving Levi: Left to Die...Destined to Live," is one of dedication, struggle, and an 'unseen battle' that rages beneath the surface of their everyday lives. The Bentley family's mission was not an easy one. They dedicated their lives to serving the children of Jerusalem, providing them with a safe haven amidst the turmoil of the city. Their commitment was unwavering, even in the face of adversity. For instance, when their home was destroyed by a bomb, they didn't pack up and leave. Instead, they rebuilt, their resolve strengthened by their faith and their love for the children they served. But beneath the surface of their mission work, the Bentley family was fighting an 'unseen battle.' This battle took many forms, from spiritual warfare to personal struggles. For example, Lisa and her husband often found themselves grappling with feelings of doubt and fear. They also faced opposition from those who didn't understand or support their mission. Yet, they persevered, their faith serving as their shield in this unseen battle. The challenges the Bentley family faced were numerous. They dealt with financial difficulties, threats to their safety, and the emotional toll of their work. Yet, they never wavered in their commitment. Their faith was tested, but it never faltered. They found strength in their belief that they were doing God's work, and this belief helped them overcome the obstacles they faced. Central to the Bentley family's story is Levi, a child left to die but destined to live. Levi's birth and subsequent health struggles added another layer to the family's unseen battle. His presence in their lives, however, was not just a challenge, but also a source of strength and inspiration. Levi's resilience mirrored that of his family, and his story became a testament to the power of faith and love. The city of Jerusalem itself played a significant role in the Bentley family's story. Its history and religious significance were not lost on the family. They understood that they were part of a larger narrative, one that included centuries of faith, conflict, and resilience. This understanding deepened their commitment to their mission and their unseen battle. In conclusion, the Bentley family's story is a powerful testament to the strength of faith and the power of dedication. Their unseen battle, fought on the streets of Jerusalem and within their own hearts, is a reminder of the challenges and rewards of living a life of service. Their story is a testament to the power of faith, the strength of family, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
