This time last year, part 8

First stop on the first day of the Grace church tour was Joffa, just south of Tel Aviv. (It was really nice to just be on the bus and not driving / navigating in our own car!) Viewed the Gan ha-Pisga statue and the artists' colony in old town Joffa. From there, we headed south and east to the Valley of Ela, where David slew Goliath. Then we continued south to Be'er Sheva, the place where Abraham settled in the land of Canaan. Continuing south, we ended our first day's journey at the Dead Sea, 1300 feet below sea level.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
May they be secure who love you!
