 getting ready to go into the promised land and to fight the inhabitants to make it their own. Moses, their leader for many years, has died and Joshua is the new leader. The above passage is an excerpt of the Lord’s instruction to Joshua.
When I read this passage, what struck me was God’s command: “Be strong and courageous”. He says it three different times in these 4 verses! He also adds a variant on this phrase in verse 9: “Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” There are tough times ahead Joshua, so you will need to be strong and courageous!
I love what He says at the very end of verse 9: “For the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go”. Isn’t that wonderful?! That is the reason Joshua could be strong and courageous, God promised him that He would be with him.
The rest of the book of Joshua for the most part tells of the enemies they encountered, battles that were fought, and boundary lines that were drawn. At the end of the book of Joshua, he is old, dying and sharing his parting words to the nation of Israel.
Did you catch that last sentence? “But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” So good. God had a plan for Joshua, Joshua faithfully followed the plan. God was faithful to Joshua. And at the very end of his life, Joshua continues to be faithful to God and encourages others to do the same.
The Lord sometimes calls us to do difficult tasks. Challenges that will require us to be strong and very courageous. May it be said that we will chose to trust Him, follow His word, do the right thing and the end proclaim that “we will serve the Lord”.Overview | What's Missing | Project History

MISSION OVERVIEW:
The Kafka Project is an independent international investigation into the lost work of the writer Franz Kafka, and the first official search for this missing literary treasure since the 1950s. The last attempt (conducted by Max Brod in Israel and Klaus Wagenbach in Germany) ended when the paper trail led to Silesia, beyond the Berlin Wall and "Iron Curtain" in 1957. With the reunification of Germany and the opening of archives in former Communist Central and Eastern European states in the 1990s, new opportunities for researching Holocaust-era assets have made possible the renewed search for Kafka's missing papers.
WHAT'S MISSING:
Kafka's lost papers consist of 35 letters written to Dora Diamant in 1923 and 1924, and up to 20 notebooks, used for journals, sketches, thoughts and ideas, written during the last year of his life. In addition, 70 letters that Dora Diamant wrote to Max Brod between 1925-1952, which include her last will and testament, were catalogued in the 1980s but are still missing.
PROJECT HISTORY:
January 1997, the Kafka Project was initiated with a consent letter with permission to conduct the official search for Kafka's missing papers on behalf of the Kafka Estate in London. March 1997, a petition was filed with the Bundesbeauftragte, the German government "Foundation for the Political and Historic Resolution of the National Socialist Past. March 1998, the SDSU Research Foundation became the Kafka Project's academic home and non-profit fiscal receiver. June 1-September 30, 1998, a team of volunteers and assistants from the United States, England and Germany researched archives, libraries, civil record offices and cultural institutions. See Resources Report. The Kafka Project makes detailed notes of the Nazi and SED files. September 1998, German State archives classify the project as "official scientific research" and an archivist is assigned to the case. The Berlin Research Final Report is available upon request.
RESULTS:
In 1998 the Kafka Project expanded to include the missing papers of Dora Diamant. Since 1999, we have accessed or found the following: Dora's Comintern files from Moscow; her internment file from the Isle of Man; two diaries written in the last year of her life; her published Yiddish articles from London; and dozens of letters to friends and family. By tracing Dora, items of Kafka's have been found. In 2001, Kafka's hairbrush was discovered in Israel.
In 2004, three original Kafka letters were found in private hands in California and copies made for the Kafka Critical Edition Archive at Wuppertal. Based largely on the results of the Kafka Project, Kafka's Last Love: The Mystery of Dora Diamant was published in the US and UK in 2003. A Spanish edition was published in 2005, and French and Chinese translations will appear in 2007.
FUTURE PLANS AND GOALS:
Kafka Project's search for the missing Kafka papers will extend to as yet still unidentified Third-Reich era deposits in Central and Eastern Europe. Nazi-era deposits, scattered throughout Central and Eastern Europe, contain previously untouched bundles of papers and documents, which are currently being examined by German government workers. In 1998, German archive officials estimated between 8 to 10 years before the cataloguing would be complete (between 2006-2008). The next Kafka Project research trip is planned for summer 2008. In preparation, we will continue to develop and facilitate collaborative research efforts at the international level. In 2006-2007, efforts will focus on fund raising and grants. By summer 2008, we plan to accomplish the following:
" Identify the archives cataloguing the Holocaust-era in the former Silesia (Czech Republic and Poland)" Update the Kafka Project Alert. The Alert identifies and describes the missing Kafka material with contact info if found. The first Alert in 1998 was translated into German and disseminated to Berlin archives. The updated Alert #2 will be delivered to deposit locations/archives in Central/Eastern Europe." Establish a functioning interactive website to raise funds and volunteers.
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT:
Franz Kafka died mostly unpublished and unknown. Since his death, he has risen to become one of the most important literary figures of the 20th and 21st centuries. Everything Kafka wrote--his letters, diaries, notes, even his doodles--has been published in every major world language. New biographies, translations and/or new editions of his work appear almost every year. Kafka's missing writings would provide new information about the last year of his life, when he achieved an unprecedented level of peace and acceptance. As long as the fate of the missing material is unknown, Kafka's literary legacy remains unrealized. ******.# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
