We have been visiting, walking, talking and praying together. We visited traditional sites of the feeding of the 5,000 and Peters Home. We also went up on the cliffs to see the Sea of Galliee. Keep sending prayers and cool thoughts my way I need both. My group you see around me (I am in the back on the left of screen, right of the people) are pastors and their good humor, understanding, and insights make this trip more valuable than a tour.
We had St. Peter~s fish for lunch. It is very good, but Im not used to my food looking back at me. The land is a mixed of pilgrims. Visiting the church of the feeding of the 5,000, the same story was told by guides and leaders, parents and pilgrims in many varations and languages.
I prayed for Goodyear Heights Presbyterian church at the churches bringing them to mind with the mindfulness of the place of the Holy Land. I was struck by the churches being built again and again on the same site. Over the century, they were destroyed, but then rebuilt on the ruins. What a witness and an encouragement to churches facing challenges. I could see the various foundations, a moving symbol of the resurrection;
Internet is expensive and rare, but prayer is free, keep me in prayers as I travel. I return home June 12th
