of the Bible, beginning with Old Testament sites and facts through the events of the New Testament. Visiting the land and the sites is a life-changing event for followers of Christ I found it to be a time of affirmation of my personal faith in Jesus and the Bible. Several of us left ORPS to our homes and then in late May departed for Israel, see photo to see who went on the tour. We were led by D R . M ICHAEL R YDELNIK and his wife, E VA , Messianic Jews who have spent years sharing truths of the land. Michael will be speaking in Chapel on February 14, Valentine’s Day. Our highlights included: touring the Capernaum , where many of Jesus’ miracles took place; riding in the “Jesus boats” on the Sea of Galilee where we sang hymns and had a devotional time led by Michael; walking in knee deep water through Hezekiah’s tunnel, (1700 foot-long, spring-fed tunnel which brought water to Jerusalem). Read II Kings 20:20 and II Chronicles 32:30 for the Biblical record of its importance. Fresh water was assured with no access to the Romans for them to poison it; floating in the Dead Sea, the lowest place on earth, the sea is 34% salt in the Judean desert. Everyone can float there, it is impossible to sink; Climbing Masada fortress where 960 Jewish zealots built a place of refuge on top of a very high flat rock. Roman soldiers did what was thought to be impossible, they scaled the walls and the zealots committed suicide rather than to become enslaved people; walking the Via Dolorosa to see the fourteen stations of the cross; walking on the Mount of Olives where Jesus ascended into Heaven and the angels said: men of Galilee why are you staring into the Heavens, this same Jesus will return to earth at this same site. the sobering walk through the YadVeshem, the Holo- caust museum in Jerusalem, remembering over 60 million Jews who were murdered, where the name of each person is read somberly. Other sites were Golgotha , the site where Jesus was crucified; and then on to the Garden of Gethsemane and the empty tomb. We had a devotional and sustained time of silence to pray and reflect on Jesus life and what He means to each of us. This was a trip to never be forgotten. A life-changing experience!
