It's been a blast writing these blog posts, as I attempt to recall as much as I able the experience we had a week ago regarding the In His Steps Pastoral Israel Tour 2012. However, many of you after reading the blog have shared with me that you wish to see some pictures of the various sites we visited. I think I took well over 1000 pictures. I know some of my friends on this trip were attempting to even take nearly 5000! I suppose they'll show their pictures eventually to their church and their friends and family. Suffice to say, in this blog post you will get to see the first 3 days of our journey. I also, have few video captions as well. If they are clear enough, I'll make a video blog post as well. The following are the pictures. Enjoy!

So there you have it in a pictorial. I hope to upload Day 6 (Monday’s events) later today. My prayer continually is that, the little I have been able to share encourages you and strengthens your faith in your walk with Christ. I wish you God’s awesome favour this week. Still more to come!
Blessings,
Pastor John
Hope you enjoy it!
