After a very early start ( a 4 AM wake up call) we flew from Cairo to Tele Aviv and then an hour bus ride to Jerusalem where we had a very full day visiting a number of what are considered important sites in Jerusalem like the Mount of Olives, the Garden of Gethsemene, the upper room and the the tomb of David.
After our visits had another hour drive to get to Bethlehem in Palestine where were are staying at a wonderful hotel. It is very nice and not very busy because not many of the tourists who come to visit the area go to the trouble to go through the checkpoints between Israel and Palestine to get to Bethlehem.
It also surprised some in our group to see the 28 foot wall that is being built by Israel to divide Israel from Palestine.
I will post some of my photos tomorrow after I get caught up on my rest.
Thanks for praying and please continue to do so. Tomorrow we want to spend time encouraging and supporting our Christian brothers here in Bethlehem.
In His care,
Jim
