Dear Friends,Israel is the land of the Bible, land of Faith, the Holy Land. For a person of faith whosebeliefs are rooted in the Bible, there is no place on earth like the Holy Land.During the time of Roman rule in the Middle East, about 2000 years ago, an event tookplace that was to shape human history forever. This momentous event was the birth ofJesus. The New Testament Gospels teach us that Mary gave birth to Jesus in Bethlehem,wrapped him in cloth and “laid Him in a manger; because there was no room for them inthe inn” (Luke 2:7). Jesus grew to manhood in Nazareth, lived and moved among the peo-ple of Galilee and Jerusalem. He gained recognition as a teacher, prophet and miracleworker. Jesus, the Son of God was crucified, buried and resurrected, giving birth to Chris-tianity. His life and teachings have affected millions of people around the world, andchanging the course of history. Nowhere else on earth do the events of Jesus’ life comealive as here, in Israel, the Holy Land. I invite you to come with Patricia and I to Israel. Together we will walk the places Jesuswalked and pray in the places He preached and prayed. It is our hope that this tour willexceed expectations as it brings the Bible to life.Due to limited space, I urge you to send your reservation in soon.

Shalom,Pastor Bob
