On October 28, 2008, Pastors Gary and Elizabeth Inrig hosted a Friendship Tour of Israel and Jordan for members of Trinity Church and some extended family members and friends. The two-week trip included stops as far north as Tel Dan and the Golan Heights where we could look across the no-man's-land into Syria and Lebanon and as far south as Jordan's Petra and the Dead Sea. We ended with five days in Jerusalem before flying home on November 11.
We were blessed with being able to participate in this trip, and here you will find the daily blog entries I made on this website detailing our activities and my reactions as well as selected photos from the places we visited.
I pray you will be challenged and blessed by the ways in which God's work among us has been recorded in the land and continues to change us and give us hope for our certain future!
