Come and See What God is Doing! Holy Land Trip March 11-20, 2011

Have you ever wondered what it must have been like for Jesus to sail on the Sea of Galilee, or for him to walk through the crowded streets of Jerusalem? Did you ever wonder what the Mount of Olives or the Garden Tomb looked like? If you have wondered these or other things about events and place in the Bible, then you need to journey to the land of the scriptures… The Holy Land!
