Anyone who knows me knows that I rarely slow down. Between touring, writing songs, making records and writing books, there’s never a shortage of things on my to-do list.
Many have dreamed of enjoying specific places firsthand (the Parthenon, St. Peter’s Basilica, the Jordan River) their whole lives. They’re often professionals who have decades of work behind them and are ready to go! Deferring their dreams—no matter what is going on in the world—is not an option.
As it turns out, there’s a lot to discover about this fascinating country that can’t be found in the 2,000 year-old Scriptures or the not-always-accurate coverage of cable TV. Here are a few of our favorite ways Israel exceeds expectations…
“So, our 10-year-old, Kate, comes up and asks if she can get her hair braided. It's $20, and of course I say no because it's a ripoff. But then she explains that the lady doesn't know Jesus and this is the best way to tell her about our Savior. She was right: it was worth every penny! And yes, she did buy the lady food with her own money and then told her about Jesus. HASHTAG CONVICTED!”
“One of the greatest joys in my life is to take people to Israel and teach them God’s Word! To study the Bible in the places where the Biblical patriarchs, our Savior, and His disciples lived is truly a life changing experience.”
