Mission Trip – Day 4, cont’d: May 20, 2007

The timing of this mission trip was based upon the Feast of Weeks, or in Hebrew “Shavuot”, or in Christian “Pentecost”.  It’s funny that when we returned from The Land and told my Jewish brother that we celebrated Shavuot, he was surprised to hear that Christians celebrated this day.  Soon after, Kara was telling her […]

Mission Trip – Day 3, cont’d: May 19, 2007

So many amazing things happened on that third day in Israel, but one that is both funny and at the same time fills me with wonder, is one that involves my then girlfriend, now bride, Kara.  Mike invited a whole group from the largest congregation in Tel Aviv to join so that everyone could pray […]

My Journey of a Lifetime

My trip to Israel in 2007 was lead by David Schiff, who also led my trip to Mexico and the trips to Choctaw, MS and New Orleans that Kara (who is now my wife) and I also took in 2006. Before this trip, he told us that a major calling in his life was leading […]

What do You Think?

I’ve got a plan – and I want your feedback. For the next couple of weeks, in place of my normal discussions on scripture – which have led us half way through Mathew at this point – I intend to relate the story of the truly surreal and remarkably spiritual mission trip I took to […]
