A Perfect Sunset

What a perfect ending to the trip of a lifetime! We left Ginosar early this morning, driving through the beautiful northern countryside to arrive back in Tel Aviv. Our journey took us through Nain, where Jesus raised a widow's son and past Mt. Tabor where He was transfigured before the eyes of Peter, James and John. We feel that this trip has transfigured us as well. Being able to recall the places we have been and the people we have met will remain with us always. We thank you for your prayers and support while we've been away. Most of all, we'd like to thank Bob and Dottie Pipher. This is a couple we never had the chance to meet yet will be indebted to always for gifting this trip to the pastor and family.  When we meet again on the other side of eternity, we know that we will be able to reminisce about a land and a people they so dearly loved - and a Lord and Savior that we couldn't live without! The real purpose of this trip, according to the wishes of its benefactor, was to "greatly enrich the messages" to the congregation. I can tell you that the images of the past week will forever color my proclamation of the Gospel, just as each day lived together with you all continues to shape and mold me as a pastor and my family as your friends. Thank you again and we'll see you later this week!
