Ready for your final Israel blog entry? This one is a “double stuff” post because we’ll be covering our final two days. The last 48 hours have been an incredible whirlwind as we’ve walked through much of the life of Jesus. We went into Palestine to Bethlehem where we saw the Shepherd’s Fields...

There was an unbelievable amount of “AWESOME” packed into our first full day! Starting off with a hike in Gezer, we followed the footsteps of Joshua to a set of large “remembrance stones” erected in the Old Testament. We stopped there as Mike read passages from Joshua’s life and encouraged...
