We Have Arrived
Arrived this afternoon in Tel Aviv with no problems. I was even able to get some sleep on the eleven hour plane ride. Met up with several of the other members of the delegation and traveled by taxi bus to the Old City of Jerusalem where we will be staying the next several days. Did some sightseeing this afternoon outside the Old City, through what is believed to be where the Garden of Gethsemane was located and walked up the Mount of Olives overlooking the city. As someone else pointed out, whether the exact locations are right or not, we are in close proximity to the events of Jesus' last day on earth. That in itself makes it very special. Getting ready for dinner. I will keep it short this evening as others are waiting to get on the computer. Hope to check in within the next day or two. In Christ, Pastor Dick

Glad you made it okay, Pastor Dick! We'll be praying for you over the next couple of weeks as you minister to those around you and as you experience the cultures of Israel.

Glad you made it without a hitch. I thought your plane left in the PM so I guess my prayers were late! Keep us well informed and be ready to incorporate all you see and learn in to your messages when you get back.

Isn't the view from the Mount of Olives looking over the city of Jerusalem amazing? It'll make the hair on the back of your neck stand up.
