Greetings from Israel! We have all arrived in what was a very uneventful trip. Our flight from Newark was only 9 1/2 hours. We were greeted at the airport by Dr. and Mrs. Jackson. We spent the afternoon enjoying the sunshine at the pools at our hotel (Ma’ale Hachamisha on the Kibbutz of the same name). We had dinner and a meeting with the others we will be serving with on the trip. They come from around the globe… New Zealand, Australia, Finland, South Africa and of course the United States. Keep us in your prayers that we will rest this evening and have a successful day as we will serve in Tel Aviv tomorrow.
