Christmas in The Holy Land - 2016

Awesome Day 8 on the Christmas in the Holy Land trip – renewed marriage vows in Cana, great worship/teaching time at Mt. Carmel, visited the Plain of Armageddon, beautiful Caesarea Maritime and ended enjoying the Ancient city of Jaffa and then on to the airport. Thanks for your prayers! It was an absolutely awesome, ministry-driven, life-changing trip for each person! Next year… December 26-January 5!

Day 5 of Christmas in the Holy Land provided some awesome ministry opportunities! We broke into three groups and ministered at three different churches in Bethlehem, also providing them with funds and materials that each church needed. As usual, we went to be a blessing to them but they blessed us far greater! Went to the Israel museum in the afternoon and had an awesome dinner back at the hotel with an evening free to rest up!
