Abiding in Africa

Friday, July 11, 2008

The Rev. Dr. Fred and Kathy GarryIsrael 09 with EO: It has been our pleasure to host many trips abroad. More than a dozen trips to Mexico to build houses, hurricane relief in Mississippi, and now to Africa. In the last two years we have enjoyed expanding our mission trips to include pilgrimages. This will be our third such trip together and we find it to be such a blessing. A pilgrimage is part study, part devotion, and part travel. As you prepare for the March trip be sure to be in worship and study. The more you prepare the greater the reward. Being in Israel is being immersed in history and the Bible. The places and sights can be a like rushing water. Be sure you spend some time in reflection and prayer so you are ready for the current.
