As you may know, I have been in Israel since last Wednesday with 24 people from my church in Pittsburgh. If you haven't checked out the entries and pictures on my travel blog, you may want to do so here. There is some pretty cool stuff there, and you subscribe to receive my daily updates. Later in the week, we are going into Egypt to see the pyramids, and you won't want to miss those updates either.
SIXTEEN YEARS
I first came to Israel in 1994 and was so moved by the trip that I determined I would one day lead teams to the Holy Land so others could experience what I have experienced. There are so many surprises, for at times things you thought would move you do not and things that you didn't think anything of before will move you to tears!
The point I want to make is that I set a goal 16 years ago and now I am ready to carry it out. I hope by God's grace to lead a trip every 18 months and teach about purpose, the supremacy of Christ and the nature of Jesus' earthly ministry. I will return in May of 2012. Would you like to be part of that tour?
WHY NOT JOIN ME?
If you would like to be a part, then why not set a goal . . . and then go for it? Why not say, "I will be there" and then begin to watch for ways you can prepare spiritually and financially. You will not get to Israel by wishing it to happen; you will have to help make it happen! Don't tell me what you may do one day. Tell me what you will do.
We are working on goals at this time as part of the PurposeChallenge I issued last month. If you haven't taken the Challenge yet, read about it here and then get with the program. And if you want to be in Israel in 2012, send me an email and I will keep you posted as plans come together. What a great goal that would be! And what a great way to improve your assessment score during this time of the PurposeChallenge. I have to run, but in the meantime, all I have to say is "Shalom!" and "Next year in Jerusalem!"
Those photos are out of this world if only wishes were Horses
