Journey to Jordan

Our day started at Tabgha on the Sea of Galilee, the traditional site of the miracle of the loaves and fishes which Jesus performed in order to feed the multitudes who had come to hear Him teach (Matthew 14:16-24). We passed loaves and fish at the conclusion of the teaching. We learned that it is more than just about the loaves and the fish! The disciples really didn't get it, nor did they understand! It's about Jesus working in their hearts and in our hearts. Do you get it?

Our next stop was the Jordan River. Eleven people from our group were baptized in the Jordan! Praise the Lord!


Bob Klein from San Antonio, Texas:

I have enjoyeed this tour so much. Being on the Sea of Galelee where Jesus walked on water was mind-blowing. The teaching has been outstanding, but being a part of the baptisms in the Jordan was an honor for me.


On to Beit She'an. At Mount Gilboa King Saul died in battle against the Philistines and they took Saul's body and hung it on the wall of the city. David gathered men and returned to Beit She'an to remove Saul's body to be buried. It was amazing to see the ruins of this ancient city!

We then headed South on 90, past the Dead Sea to Jordan to our hotel for the night at the Gulf of Aqaba prior to going to Petra.

It is wonderful to be here in the "Holy lands". As I climb these these high hills, wide valleys, and rocky roads, I realize that Jesus obviously is more than amazing! Praise God for His Son as we know Him from John 3:16.
