Midge & Tim Houghtaling's Prayers Answered

Chris Houghtaling Is On Way Home From Israel

MISSING FOR 3 YEARS
It's A Miracle!
Chris Houghtaling
Calls Home!!

Hi Jim,

I have some great news you might want to post on your blog.

This morning my father-in-law and mother-in-law, Tim and Midge Houghtaling, recieved a call from the US Embassy in Tel Aviv, Israel.

Their son, Chris Houghtaling, had walked into the embassy and asked for help getting home.

It has been almost three years since Chris flew to Israel and no one had heard anything from him since. His family has searched relentlessy for these past three years and his parents have even made two trips to Israel.

Well I am so happy to announce that tonight he is on a plane home and his parents will be picking him up at the airport tomorrow morning. We are all just bursting with excitement to see him and we are so grateful to know he is safe.
Thanks,
Crystal Morales
