Dear friends,
It is now 9:30 PM in Israel, 2:30 PM in Oklahoma and I wanted to tell you that I just spoke with the group. They are all fine and having a great time in the north of Israel. Everyone was very moved by seeing the sites which play such an important part in the Bible. The participants all send their warmest regards and are looking forward to the rest of their trip.
Shalom!

| Wednesday, March 5, 2008 | | Welcome to Israel | The group arrived safely in Israel and I welcomed each participant personally at Ben Gurion Airport. Everyone was excited to be in Israel and looking forward to setting off in the discovery of the Holyland.
Please come back and visit this site from time to time so you can see pictures and read notes from the participants.
Shalom (Peace)
