Israel!

Tomorrow, thirty of us associated with the seminary will be heading off to Israel.


Our first stop will be in Bethlehem. We will see Masada, the Dead Sea, Jericho, and the Mount of Temptation.


Then we travel to Jerusalem. We will worship with a group of Christians, then see Gethsemane, the Mount of Olives, The Upper Room, and the Pool of Siloam. Then we will volunteer at a hospital for a day.

Then it's off to the shores of the Sea of Galilee, where we will take a boat out on the sea, visit the Mount of the Beatitudes, and see the Jordan river baptismal site.

Our final stop will be in Nazareth. We will walk in the village where Jesus grew up. We will see Mount Carmel and Mount Tabor, and visit Cana.

We fly home May 1st.
I hope to send reports from Israel. But if not, I'll blog about it when I'm home. I hope to take pictures and hope that they won't be confiscated. Pray for our safe travels!
