Wow. What a time we’re having. We have been to so many historical and significant sites while here in Israel. We’ve seen the Mediterranean and Dead Seas as well as the Sea of Galilee. We’ve been to Jesus’ birthplace in Bethlehem (the House of Bread), His childhood town of Nazareth, the headquarters of His adult ministry, Capernaum and the place of His death and resurrection in Jerusalem. We’ve seen the oldest discovered building on earth, which dates back to 7500 B.C.E. in Jericho. We’ve walked the Qumran Valley, where the Dead Sea scrolls were discovered and we also got to stand on the mount were it is believed that Jesus delivered His sermon on the mount found in Matthew 5-7. We have also learned a few Hebrew words, how to figure out the ratio of a dollar to shekels, and eaten some…interesting foods.
Thank you so much to everyone who helped us get here financially and is praying for us while we are away. It is certainly an experience we will be forever changed by.
Shalom
Lige
