Day 6

This morning, we journeyed from land to sea and stepped foot onto a large boat on the Sea of Galilee. With a clear blue sky, sun above, and the calm deep blue sea, we set sail and started our morning singing worship songs.

After a short teaching from Pastor Michael, our tour guide gave us a brief Israeli dance lesson and we ended our boat ride with an impromptu dance party. Afterwards, we visited a museum on the shore and saw a 1st century boat that was found in the Sea of Galilee a couple decades ago.

Next, we headed to Mount Arbel, where most of the team did a rigorous hike up the mountain that took about one hour and a half. At the top, we ended with a teaching and worship time. It truly was a spectacular sight!

Then we were off to see the Harod springs in the valley of Jezebel. The area was relaxing and some of the group decided to take a swim in the cool waters.

We ended the day by walking through the ruins of a Roman city from around 63 BC called Bet She’an.
