The Holy Land


In the Countryside just outside of Jerusalem (from left to right :Sydney, Brent, Jane, Candice,Erin, Ashley, Me, and Cary)
Garden of Gethsemane where the Atonement occurred, truly amazing place. I am so grateful for the sacrafice of my Savior!
In the ancient Cistern Well where in Christ's time the people came to get water (it now site underneath the old city in Jerusalem) We had the opportunity to sing "I am a child of God" as a small group down here it was amazing
Loophole on the Old City Walls at Jerusalem (these loopholes were used in ancient times for soldiers to stick their bows and arrows through in order to attack the enemy with the advantage of the enemy not being able to see them)
Church of the Holy Sepulcher ( Where the Catholics Believe that Christ was Buried and Crucified): I have now been able to visit this church a few times. It has been extremely touching to see the devotion of all kinds of people that visit this last to the mission and life of Christ. I feel so grateful to be able to experience and feel of all of the tourists testimonies as they come visit these places where Christ once walked.
