Our 2nd day in Israel was spectacular! Group spirit is soaring and we are experiencing the presence of the Lord each step of the way. At Caesarea by the Sea, an ancient Roman city, we gathered at an amphitheatre at the place where the Apostle Paul stood before Herod Agrippa who was a powerful Roman King. Paul boldly proclaimed his faith in Jesus and this powerful Roman King ended up saying, “Paul, you almost persuade me to be a Christian.” All of us have a story to tell. Make sure you are telling your friends and family how Jesus changed your life. You don’t have to have a spectacular, dramatic testimony like Paul. Just simply and boldly tell your own story. After a great day, including overlooking the plains of Megiddo where the battle of Armageddon will be fought (more on this in a later blog) we moved on to Nazareth and Cana of Galilee at the very place where Jesus attended a 1st Century wedding feast and performed a great miracle. Together we prayed and dedicated our own marriages to Christ and asked Him for miracles in our lives and families.
I’m looking forward to telling you more tomorrow about this incredible trip of a lifetime. Stay tuned and make sure and tell your friends and family about the blog…

WOW! Thank you Pastor for sharing this journey with us. Each time you've taken a group, I've wanted to be with you. I know God will make the way possible in his timing. This blog is a great way to "be there" with you all. Praying for safety for all while you're there.

Pastor Graham, I am a former member of Prestonwood, and now occassional visitor when visiting Dallas, but also I am a regular "watcher" via streaming video. Now I can also add that I am vicariously traveling with your group of pilgrims on this wonderful journey through the Holy Land. Thank you for making this possible for those of us who simply cannot go, but who draw inspiration from being included in this way. May God bless your trip and may lives be ever changed and soul winners born through this experience, whether firsthand, or through the blog.
In Him and For Him,
