Testimonies from Israel & Jordan 2007
Being in the Holy Land was so life-changing and fundamental to my faith. Standing on Mt Zion and "seeing" Jesus' final Days before Crucifixion laid before me, brings tears to my eyes to this Day... I now read the Bible with previously unimagined insight." - Johnny
"Israel for me was a very moving and personal journey, confirming what i believe, why I believe, and most of all, who I believe in. My life was impacted." - Angie
Travelling to the Holy Land was a special experience for my fellow pilgrims and me. Jordan was amazing visiting sites such as Mount Nebo and actually viewing the Promised Land was a humbling experience. The food, culture and people were great. Crossing the Allenby Bridge into Israel was something and I'll never forget the sites like Petra, the Dead Sea, Masada, En Gedi and of course Jerusalem. Traveling to the Holy Land is unique for the Christian because your faith comes alive in the land where Jesus walked. We even visited the protestant site of Calvary and took communion at the Garden Tomb. Ps 128:5- "The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion." - David
