A merry group of pilgrims from the Northern Illinois Synod along with other friends and a group from Olivet Lutheran Church in Fargo, North Dakota are set to leave tomorrow for a tour of the Holy Land and Jordan. The itinerary is fascinating with time to be spent in Galilee, Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Amman and Petra.Today’s news of new violence in the Middle East is disconcerting, but we have been assured that the situation there is being monitored at all times and our itinerary will be adjusted if necessary.
We do ask for your prayers for good health and safe travel. We plan to update this blog while we tour, though I cannot promise how often or from which locations. I doubt that we will be able to post many (if any) pictures, but I promise to do that upon our return. Thank you for your interest and your prayers. --JC
