Hi friends. Emotions are running high at the moment. Not only do I remain heartbroken over the stories of tragedy, and inspired by stories of heroism coming out of Israel, but as I write, I should be boarding a plane to Israel in preparation of meeting my tour group on Sunday morning (Israel time).

The privilege of hosting others in the land of the Bible is the joy of my life and my very heartbeat. I miss my group and we are left (for now) to imagine what it would be like to experience Israel together. We have postponed to February 2024, so God willing, we’ll experience the fullness of all God has for us then.

Meanwhile, if you need a break from the news of atrocities and brutal barbarianism coming out of Israel, why not check out our tour devotionals, study guides, and/or Bible study.

Meanwhile, please continue to pray for the peace of Israel and wisdom for world leaders. Our world seems to be on the brink of disaster, and the whole world needs Jesus. May the Holy Spirit stir in the hearts and minds of people all over the world, and may Jesus, our Messiah, be made known.
