Our Journey to Namibia

This blog is an overview of Al'NurYah's side of the story of the move. It's certainly not filled with every nuance, but gives a simplistic overview to share how we got here.

In 2022, my husband and I were awakened to our true identity as Hebrews. At that time, and in the flight of panic that comes with knowing your entire life was based on falsehood, we instantly changed our lives.

We began with reading the bible from the beginning again with new eyes. I stayed up each night reading and even searching old archives to see what information had been blatantly in front of us this whole time, stating who we were. I found a great deal of information out there that gave clues to what occurred and finished the bible via reading on my phone and via Audible to get through it all. I got through everything but Psalms, Song of Solomon, and Kings within five months, including many Apocrypha texts.

After that, I found an online assembly that provided me with some structure in the walk. We learned together through weekly lessons that took hours and prayed together via Whatsapp. We followed the law to learn and understand it and to walk in the footsteps of our ancestors. We had monthly fasts and prayed in sackcloth for our nation's healing.

In the midst of this time, many things occurred.

In February 2023, I found myself in the middle of work with Namibia heavy in my consciousness. Prior to this moment, I had never heard of Namibia, at least not consciously, and never really wanted to visit Africa. I respected Africa but felt no interest in going there.

I went to my car to have a snack break and pulled out my phone to search desperately for this place and to learn what had it in my mind so heavily. I then found a YouTube video about the unusual way the sand dunes meet the ocean where they should be a beach and how boats cannot enter except in one little corridor. It's essentially landlocked while being right next to the ocean, which was strange. Then, I found a prophecy from an old woman in Walvis Bay who spoke of a coming transition and told the people of Namibia to make way for a well with living water in it and for the people of Israel to come there.

I told this to my husband, and he just thought it was interesting. There wasn't much more to say when you just found out the people in the bible are your family, and suddenly your wife is getting "feelings" about things. I had an urgency in my heart that we needed to get there and an explicit call saying that if I was still in Denver in June of the next year, something very dark would happen.

After a great deal of coaxing, I got my husband to book a trip to Namibia in October of that year, around his work schedule. We took his mother and our babysitter, whom I felt we needed to bring along.

During the trip, we met another family that had moved to Namibia just a month prior. We found out they had the same call but with different messages. They sold everything to follow Yah's will. This gave us confirmation and an anchor scripture that the husband shared with us.

“Move from the midst of Babylon, Go out of the land of the Chaldeans; And be like the rams before the flocks.

We returned home and felt a hangover from having to leave. Getting back into the fast pace dedicated to nothing but corporate money and spending on things we don't need felt disconnected after this journey we were on.

We decided to buy a house that we had seen at Omeya that felt like the perfect home for us. Our purchase was completed in December 2023.

Around that time, my walk with Yahuah had become strong through obedience, fasting, and daily deep repentance and prayer. Since my 2022 discovery, all of my messages have been provided through a deep feeling in my spirit or sending me to content on the internet that told me something. By December, I had begun to realize that I could pray and then sit and listen for an answer instead of going straight to bed.

The notebook I had purchased to record my dreams ended up being something I was called to use to record the message that Yah spoke to me directly.

Initially, it began with bullet points, orders for me to follow, and a few notes on what his purpose was for me and my family. Then, it became full paragraphs as I learned to listen longer. I realized I just needed to sit longer, an hour at times, just to make sure I heard all he had to share with me.

That same month (December 2023), my husband was given a choice whether to try to stay at his job or accept a job elimination as the company tried to reduce costs. He was the Chief People Officer, and the company was not trying to remove him at all. He felt deep in his spirit that he must make the case for his job to be eliminated instead of someone on his team. His proposal was accepted, and he joined the list of severance recipients. Since my work can be done anywhere, as I'm a publicist working with global clientele, we were now in the perfect position to follow our calling.

In January, I asked Yah directly in prayer what our deadline was for arriving in the land, and he gave me a precise date for when to get there.

As a parting gift from his team, my husband received a gift certificate for a float tank experience. Since he had already tried it, he offered it to me for a relaxing experience. I booked it for January 28 and used that moment to call on Yahuah for guidance. When entering the float tank, I prayed for the father to use this time to show me what he needed me to know in preparation for my following his calling to Namibia. He obliged me by showing me visions of my life, our work there, and even how we would earn our living. Most importantly, he gave me direct instructions for what my husband must do to prepare and told me we would make no more decisions or forward preparation until he executed this job.

Benhaya was told to fast 3 days in a hotel alone to remove all distractions and hear the father's voice. He was also told not to use his phone at all and we could only reach him on the hotel phone if absolutely needed and to give daily check-ins to keep the kids feeling their dad didn't abandon them.

On day one, Benhaya called us on his cell phone -- the phone shut off. It was fully charged and operable at the time, but shut out due to his disobedience. It's certainly hard to hear your wife say she's hearing from The Most High and take every detail as real, but this was our message that indeed I was hearing from him and we should heed every word. The phone returned to service when he came home after three days.

On his last day of the fast in the hotel, Benhaya became confused and called out to The Most High, asking why he had him there. He was then called to pull out his pen and notebook and write. He wrote about 4 pages of content. The content confirmed everything I had said about us following his call to leave and spoke to his purpose. It was eloquently written, and since my husband focuses on reading and studying the bible profusely in traditional translations, it came through in a sort of biblical language as if it was in the King James Bible.

After that day, Ben began to hear from The Most High regularly, even being able to negotiate his flight a bit to give us a little leeway. I also began to hear what we call "words" regularly that gave us administrative details about our life and words to help us understand all that we have gone through.

These are some of the most prominent moments on the path as we began to move. After all this, we moved to Namibia in March 2024 and are still in the process of compiling our official business Visa to stay here as business owners.
