Masada: Jewish resistance’s last stand against Romans

21 January 2016 blogpastor Leave a comment

The first time I went on a pastor’s familiarization tour, Masada was not included. In this pilgrimage I led, Masada was included but a flash flood spoiled our plans. The Israeli tour guide said they will try again the next day. We were all so glad the electric cable car system was restored to working […]

Genesis Land: welcomed by Abraham

11 January 2016 blogpastor Leave a comment

This was an interesting experience: a camel ride and some hospitality from Abram. Great idea and fun. We rode the camels to Abrams’ tent and there he welcomed us to a meal. We were blessed.

1 January 2016 blogpastor Leave a comment

We visited the remains of an ancient site of a Qumran community in a semi arid landscape. It was cool but stark. It must have been hard to live in such circumstances where water concerns were predominant and this was reflected in the architecture and the space given for cisterns. The desert made me feel […]

Cana: a renewed commitment to faithful marriage

21 December 2015 blogpastor Leave a comment

There is no magic nor a special blessing about doing a renewal of commitment to marriage in Cana. Jesus graced a wedding party at Cana and did a great miracle of changing water to wine.

Near Mount Hermon and Golan Heights

16 December 2015 blogpastor Leave a comment

Near the Banias, remnants of the pagan temple of Pan, located near Mount Hermon in the Golan Heights, we stood where it is claimed Peter declared, You are the Christ the Son of the living God in one breath, and in another he insisted that Jesus must not take the Calvary road. Lord, help me […]
