Anticipation is half the fun, you know… By now, most of our group is busy looking over their packing check-list (Newsletter #2) and packing all their necessities for our Holy Land 2015 tour. Please be praying for us as we pack; we are heading to a land of no Wal-Marts, so it won’t be easy to just stop by and pick up a few items while in Israel. We’ll need to remember all of our necessities and pack carefully. Pray for us that we remember what we need to, would you?
Half of our group will be flying out of O’Hare in Chicago, while the other half will be flying out of Dulles Airport in Dulles, Virginia. We will then meet in Instanbul, Turkey for transfer together down to Tel Aviv. I’m anticipating the same feeling I get in my gut each time we fly over Israel for the first time and land in Tel Aviv. I get an overwhelming sense that … I’m home. And it’s wonderful. My prayer is that others on our tour will sense the same thing, even if it’s their first time there…
The next time you’ll hear from me, we’ll be in the Holy Land! Again, your prayers for our journey are certainly appreciated…
