Jim & Annette

Thank you for the gift we will cherish forever. There are few gifts that can truly be called “life changing.” This one was. I don’t know if it will make me a better preacher or pastor, I hope so, but I know this journey was a genuine pilgrimage that has deepened my faith and increased my love for the Lord and his people here in the Holy Land and at home. In describing the ministry his church is doing in Bethlehem Pastor Mitri Raheb said, “We are giving a fore-taste of the kingdom of God here and now.” In some small way that is what you’ve given Sandy and me. Thank you.

Jim & Annette were with us the entire trip: here they are on the tram going up to Masada
