israel trip: part 2
Shalom again from Jerusalem, the city of our great King. (Scroll down to see Part 1)
Our tour officially ended today. The days were jam packed with information, joyful discovery and revelation. My heart is full.
I feel renewed and refreshed by God’s grace. I thank our wonderful Holy Spirit and you who prayed for me.
I am sharing a photo of St. Ann’s church near the Pool of Bethesda. The church is elegant in its simplicity and the acoustics are unrivaled. What a special place to pause and pray in reflection of Jesus healing the paralytic.
Our time at the Garden Tomb was meaningful.
Thirty-seven pilgrims worshiped together and shared communion, people who were strangers only ten days ago. How beautiful is the body of Christ.
The photo of me standing by the tree honoring Corrie Ten Boom and family is a treasure to me. This tree grows in the garden beyond Yad VaShem Holocaust Museum. The Ten Boom family held a weekly prayer meeting for the fate of the Jews for ten years and risked their lives to aid and house Jews in Amsterdam during World War 2.
As I learned of the heroic and selfless acts of so many to bless the Jewish people, I am amazed and struck to the heart.
I leave you with a lovely view of the Mount of Olives taken from within the Old City. I pray you will join me in faithful prayer for the peace of Jerusalem and for the awakening of those living here.
Peace and love from Jerusalem,
Nancy
IsraeL Trip: Part 1
This is day 6 of my Israel travels, and what a joy it has been. Thank you for praying. My friend Terri and I are having a wonderful journey, soaking in the land and learning about the history of the time when Jesus lived here.
I really enjoyed the tranquility of the Jordan River baptism site. Surrounding the riverbank are beautiful tile presentations of Mark 1: 9-11 in many languages.
My heart leapt when I found the one in Kachin language from our beloved Myanmar.
I chuckled when I saw the tribal language from Eritrea, mentioned to me at dinner the night before from a couple in our group from Ethiopia. They are lovely.
The languages remind us that soon, those from every language, tribe and nation will worship the Lamb of God forever! Rev. 7:9-10.
Jerusalem is a melting pot and the focus of so many at this time. It is a privilege to be here and to pray.
With love,
Nancy
