Here’s the latest installment from Pastor Dan. – Rick

Hi, Rick. The Day 4&5 Itineraries were switched. So today
(Wednesday 03/11) was Northern Galilee and the Golan Heights. I saw a few “interesting”
sites including Jeroboam’s altar erected for worship of a golden calf, Caesarea
Philippi where Peter declared that Jesus is The Christ, Mt. Hermon-the most
likely site of the Transfiguration-and a spot in the Golan Heights which
provided a nice view of Israel’s friendly neighbors-Syria and Lebanon. The view
of Syria included a hill which until recently was occupied by ISIS “before
being driven out by Assad.” 

Tomorrow (Thursday 03/12) will bring a tour around the Sea
of Galilee starting off a boat ride on the sea. However, unfortunately, the
baptism service had to be canceled because of bad weather.

A priest was invited to attend a house party.Naturally, he was properly dressed and wearing his priest’s collar.

A little boy kept staring at him the entire evening. Finally, the priest asked
the little boy what he was staring at. The little boy pointed to the priest’s
neck.

When the priest finally realized what the boy was pointing at, he asked him,
“Do you know why I am wearing that?”

The boy nodded his head yes, and replied, “It kills fleas and ticks for up
to three months.”

Again,this is posted a day late. Therefore “tomorrow” actually means “today”. This applies to all time references. – Rick

Hi, Rick- An amazing day today at Caesarea, Mt. Carmel, Meggido (the valley of Armageddon) & Nazareth. Learned a few things that you are all just going to have to wait to hear. Decided to take advantage of an opportunity to be baptized in the Sea of Galilee. That will happen Thursday. Our hotel tonight is in Tiberius along the shore of the Sea of Galilee. Tomorrow begins our exploration of this area. PD

As PD’s trip progresses, I will post updates as he sends them. Here’s what I got yesterday. Since it arrived yesterday, the “tomorrow” he talks about is actually today. – Rick

Hi, Rick! I arrived safely in Tel Aviv via Istanbul. Flights were uneventful, which is a good thing, because eventful flights are not generally very good news. Off to Caesarea, Mt. Carmel, Meggido, Nazareth and the Sea of Galilee tomorrow.

Please continue to pray for Pastor Dan’s safety as he travels through The Holy Land. Pray that he returns to us refreshed and renewed and with a clearer vision of where he wants to take WLBC in the weeks and months to come.

For those of you who wish to keep track of his itinerary, here it is.

The heartfelt praises of one true believer are more precious to God
than all the 220,000 oxen and the 120,000 sheep that Solomon
offered to God at the dedication of the temple. – Jonathan Edward
