Melissa - Renee Thank you so much for sharing your awesome pictures with me,, They are beautiful…..So are you by the way…
Lou Bridges - My name is Lou and I have four friends on the trip. Lori and Emily Chapman, Marilynn and Doyle Reeves. Thank you so much for this blog.It is so nice to see where you are each day. Thank you for this blog.
Darlene Harman (http://Israel20l0) - Renee, these pictures and explanation are beautiful and touching. It makes me want to know more about God’s word. I feel the spirit and prayers from the group back here at home. God works in unexpected situations. My husband ended up in Mother Francis ER last night for stitches due to a fall. I can’t begin to tell you what a blessing I enjoyed in the hospital. I met a beautiful grandmother who shared so much about God. I met a precious black lady who was so spirit filled, and the ER doctor, Dr. Everett Holley, has just returned from India. Dr. Holley spends 4 months out of a year in mission work. He has just returned from India where he had the opportunity to help many sick people. He is scheduled to go to Indonesia next month. I told him about you all being in Israel now. He is praying for all of you and ask that you all remember to pray for him as he travels to Indonesia next month. He hopes to help those people in need of medical attention. I enjoy your post so very much!!! Thanks for taking the good pictures of my grandson, Brennan Gounah. We are going to have to think of a really “special” name for this baby who has already been to the HOLY LAND. Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us. Prayers are coming that way for ALL of you..
Steve Fryar - Renee,
I have tears in my eyes as I look at my ancestors homeland. God bless you for sharing these photos.
Keith Watson - Renee, thank you so much for taking the time to post these pictures and comments on what the group did each day. My wife, Debbie Watson, and daughter, Amy Isbell are on the trip with you. They are calling each day, but to see the pictures you are posting is really a blessing. I pray that God protects all of you, and blesses everyone. I can only imagine how great it would be to walk where Jesus did. I wish I could be there! Please keep up the great work you are doing. Your pictures are fantastic!I read earlier in the trip that you were not feeling great, so I pray that God will make you well to enjoy the trip.
