Israel Trip Itinerary

Monday, June 19th

As students, parents, and leaders alike are preparing and packing tonight for the grand adventure that awaits them tomorrow morning, I asked Nate how I could help him get the last few items on his list complete; his only request was that I post the itinerary of the trip on the blog for all of our supportive family, friends, and church body.  I hope that you join in their joy and anticipation, coming alongside them in prayer for their interactions with the people of Israel, each other, and our God, knowing that all will be used to do a new work in their hearts and minds.
