Day Two in Israel
February 27, 2009 by miker
Today it rained a great deal, but I still got to baptize 7 of our folks in the River Jordan. I was reminded of the words of God when Jesus was Baptized, “this is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased”. I think God says the same thing when each of us proclaim Him at baptism. We went to the Mount of the Beatitudes as well as the place where Jesus fed the 5,000. We also took a short cruise on the sea of Galilee in a Storm, we tried to calm it but to no avail. But I still got to share a Word on the boat. God is Good.

For the cause of Christ and Shalom from Israel,

Great to see the blog up and running. I can’t wait to see the images from the Holy Land you’ll be bringing back.
I am somewhat overwhelmed with just your verbal descriptions. I cannot image what it would be like to actually experience these places in person. I feel so uplifted after having read your entries.
Am praying for a peaceful journey and a safe return home for all.
See you soon!
We are thrilled for all of you to experience this blessing! We are also excited that you will be sharing it with us. Stay safe and please get lots of video and pictures and keep the blogs coming! We are praying for you!
Mike, the video in church tonight was great! Thanks for taking the time to get that together for us to have in Worship. Can’t wait to hear more about how things are going. Take care and know we are proud of you – the blogging is great.
