Yesterday was a free day for the group to enjoy the city of Jerusalem. Some tried their hand at bartering in the old city, others headed to the Biblical zoo and still others walked the ramparts around the walls of Jerusalem. We all enjoyed a break from the schedule to explore at our own pace […]

It is hard to express the incredible reality of seeing the Bible come to life. We started our day in Dan as we saw the gate of the ancient city where Abraham rescued Lot (Gen 14). This is also where Jeroboam would set up the false worship center after the Kingdom of Israel divided. It […]
