Rain in Jerusalem

Hello Fellow Travelers.

I just visited weather.yahoo.com to see the extended forecast for Jerusalem. It appears to be great weather the remainder of this week (up to 60 degrees) but from Feb. 12-15 there is a 60% chance of showers. That is just a week away from our trip. You will want to check weather conditions to pack appropriate clothing for our trip.

Weather aside, I saw an ad in a Christian magazine featuring Jack Hayford, pastor of the Church on the Way. He has visited or led tours to Israel over 20 times. The ad quotes him saying, "It changed the way I read the Bible. It increased my passion for Jesus. It transformed me into a more zealous ambassador for God's truth." Concluding he said, "Visit Israel. You'll never be the same."

I add my hearty AMEN to that! For those of you going to Israel for the first time, I can hardly wait to hear your affirmation of this. 

Shalom.

Pastor Rick
