My first visit to the Holy Land was in 1964. I know,
that sounds like ancient history. Fortunately, I have made many such
trips since. What has it done for me? When I read the Bible I can
visualize all those geographical settings and names. There are over
twenty-five thousand sites mentioned in the Bible that archeologists have
explored. My visits to Jordan and Israel have made the Scriptures
credible. Names like the Jordan River, Tiberias, Sea of Galilee, Jericho,
Jerusalem, the Dead Sea, Masada, Qumrum, the Mount of Olives, Gethsemane, and
Bethlehem all come alive.
No, I am not leading a Holy Land trip this year. However, my Presbyterian pastor friend, Dr. Jay Coker, Interim Pastor at
Mallard Creek Presbyterian, is! He has led numerous tours of the Holy
Land. This is a first-class trip, November 27 through December 6,
2017. If you are interested, I can assure you Jay (910-818-9535) or his
wife, Sharon (910-309-0177), can give you the details. I recommend these
folks to you without any hesitation.
This educational tour will be loaded with inspiration as
well. This adventure is worthy of your consideration. If this is on
your bucket list, check it out!
Blessings!
