All my bags are packed....





And we're ready to go!

I am currently sitting in the Omaha airport with Anita and Cory as we prepare to depart in about an hour for the beginning of this journey:

Pat, Bryce and Mason as on their way up to Minneapolis, where we will reunite for a few hours before heading to the Holy Land:

Last night, we had a chance to gather together to spend some time in prayer as a group - praying for the day of travel ahead, and for the days and weeks we are about to experience!   It was a cool time to share our hearts, anxiousness, and excitement for what is to come!
This morning, I had the chance to share with several people that I am at the point where I am having a hard time even describing why it is I am so excited.   The people, the places, the faith, the experience, growing, knowing - all of the above!!!

Thank you to so many who have showered us with kindness, prayer and encouragement.

Here we go!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. You will LOVE Israel! It is where the Bible becomes 3D! You will experience why it's written you "go up" to Jerusalem, even when it's South of you! You will understand the terrain, the distance, the topography in a whole new way. I've been there 2x & can't wait for my next trip. When you read the Bible from here on out - you'll have a whole new way of reading it & understanding it! Praying for your trip! Paula Folkers (I'm a shirt-tail relative of Pat)
