ISRAEL 2011 - Day 4

Day 4
The team has left the Sea of Galilee. They visited the sight on the Jordan River where they believe Jesus was baptized. They continued on their way and spent a great deal of time on the Mount of Olives. One of the most beautiful sights of the beloved JERUSALEM.

Jesus ascended to Heaven from the Mount of Olives and He will return to the Mount of Olives.

Acts 1:9-12 Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, 11 who also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven."12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olives, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey.

Can you just imagine literally walking through bible history. It doesn't get much better than this.

ISRAEL 2011 - Day 2 & 3

Day Two in Israel consisted of visiting the army base in Golan heights, Caesarea Phillipi, Tel Dan and the children's home.
Day three consisted of a boat ride on the sea of Galilee, Mt. of Beatitudes, Capernaum and the Jordan River.




Stepping foot in Israel is something that one can only understand through experience. The team is walking and experiencing the God of Israel and walking with Him in His chosen land. 6,000 years of history and the bible becomes alive in living color. Tomorrow morning they leave the sea of Galilee and head to Jerusalem.
