Our last day in Israel was one to remember. To see all God has done in this land is to change one’s heart and soul forever. We are thankful for the people of this country, and more thankful to our God- who chooses not just to dwell in the world, but to dwell in our hearts - to give to us “the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the Face of Christ Jesus, our Lord!”

He is worthy.

What a day! Hezekiah’s Tunnel, Pool of Siloam, the Old City, The Rabbinical Tunnels, The Herodian, Bethlehem, and still time for dinner as a team. We are learning so much each day. Thank you, Lord!

Big day! Early morning hike on the Jericho Road, ancient underground caves, and time in the Elah Valley picking up a smooth stone or two. God gave David stones - what does he give you to ’show the world there is a God in Israel?’

So thankful for today - a day where we can see Roman ruins and the the Mediterranean Sea through the lens of the Gospel!

I had the chance to talk with Rich Ferreira at GTI Tours about our new books, The Youngest Disciple and The Mouse in the Manger on their podcast!

It is an honor to work with GTI on my Israel study trips. They are doing great work helping people experience the context of the Bible by providing opportunities to walk in the lands of the Bible.

It is always fun to talk Bible context!
