The Bible shares the love story of God and His people. This story, and our Christian faith, are founded in Israel. In life, when you care about someone, you want to know more about them. This trip was a way to share in the journey—to see where Jesus grew and began His ministry, to visit locations referenced in the Bible, to experience the terrain of the land, to observe the culture, and to capture the atmosphere of the past and present, while embracing the future that lies ahead. The truth is that once you accept Christ as your Savior and Lord, the transformation in you is not subject to being in Israel, but it’s within you. May your love for Him grow ever stronger as you enjoy the memorable moments that we experienced on our recent tour of the Holy Land.
