Traveling to Israel
3 maart 2023, Israël ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Our travels started with us running a little late for our flight. We made it just in time to board the plane! We had some surprise visitors to wish us well on our trip ❤️
First stop Chicago then Newark and then Tel Aviv, Israel. It was a very long trip with little sleep. But little to no customs requirements!Meer informatie

First night in Nazareth
4 maart 2023, Israël ⋅ 🌙 14 °C
We arrived at Rosana's after 8pm which was after the allowed check in time for which we almost got turned away! After talking then into letting us check in late we showed up with too many people for the room 😝 The people were so concerned and would not let Talia sleep on the floor so Jesse had to help them move an extra mattress into our tiny room.Meer informatie

Rosana's
4 maart 2023, Israël ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
We stayed at Rosana's Guest house where the hosts were more concerned about our comfort than running the business! The breakfast was eggs, bread, cheeses, humus, fresh veggies and olives.

Dag 3
Sunday
5 maart 2023, Israël
Sunday we got to fellowship with believers from many different countries. Netherlands, Egypt, Holland, Spain, Arabs were some of the people represented. Every song was sang in English and Arabic at the same time. Such a cool experience!
After meeting we enjoyed lunch and more fellowship at Shawal and Nuha's home where she cooked an Arab cuisine that was rice, beef and Cauliflower presented like an upside down cake. It was delicious!!
Then we traveled to Mt Precipice which is an overlook to see many sites.Meer informatie

Dag 4
Jesse's farm visit
6 maart 2023, Israël ⋅ 🌬 20 °C
Today we drove from Nazareth to Beit Kama so that Jess could meet the farmer who brought us to the other side of the world :) We had jet lag issues so were all up before 5am like it was time to go! So we said goodbye to our host and left Nazareth. We found a bakery and coffee shop where we bought way too many treats for breakfast 🤤🐷 Jesse spent the day with Doron while Talia and I explored the area.
Afterwards we headed to Be'er Sheva to sleep.Meer informatie

Dag 5
Be'er Sheva
7 maart 2023, Israël ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
We stayed at the Negev Hotel in Beer Sheba. This town has significance in Abraham, Isaac, Hagar and Ishmael, Jacob, etc. all having been to this place!! Abraham settled near here and dug wells here - we went to visit see one. It was exciting to see, although a little discouraging. Throughout the whole tour, their goal was to help the three major religions in the world learn that we share the same father (Abraham) and worship the same one God. In their video on the story of Abraham, they left out the substitutionary ram God provided (picturing Jesus Christ) as a sacrifice in place of Isaac. There is so much sad in the middle of such a cool site.Meer informatie

Dag 5
Negev Desert
7 maart 2023, Israël ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
First stop we came upon this massive generator which is absorbing the sun due to mirrors all around it. For more info ask Jesse - he knows everything about this fascinating sun on earth 😆. Second was a stop to fulfill a bucket list item of mine - full immersion in the desert which Isreal wandered for 40 years! And then a bonus item of sand surfing and amazing food again 🤗 As we drove towards the southernmost part of Israel the rolling hills of the desert became massive cliffs and rocks. Incredible views. Another thing to note but without pictures - all the military things we saw.... soldiers, tanks, fortresses, missile sites, etc. We were about 30 miles from the Gaza Strip and 10 from Egypt and Jordan at the same time :) We ended the day at Eilat next to the gulf of the Red Sea - maybe the area the Israelites crossed fleeing the Egyptians.
Also, Talia has counted 50+ stray cats so far. How many do you think she will find during this trip?!!Meer informatie

Dag 6
Eilat to Jordan
8 maart 2023, Israël ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
We stayed one night in beautiful Eilat off the gulf of the Red Sea. This may have been the waters God parted for the Israelites to escape from the Egyptians but, again, lots of differing opinions on that. However, this seems to be a big vacationing spot for people with the sea, mountains, coral reef, etc. We didn't stay long but Talia's cat count was added to significantly - 62 cats on this trip so far 😅
The next morning we got on a bus for the transport to Wadi Rum in Jordan. Apparently it is a place where Moses struck the rock for water. It was so surreal to see and hear about the current life style of the Bedouins/Jordanians even in modern day. Lots of tents for houses, camels (because they are worth something), and the more permanent homes didn't have windows and doors mostly.... of which, our your guide told us the people don't put windows and doors on because once they do it's considered taxable because you've finished construction. So the people say they are going to finish someday just not enough money or resources yet. So they live in pretty crude structures. The legal marrying age is 13 still 😫. However, they were all extremely kind and friendly people!
On this tour we met new friends, shared the gospel, were encouraged by other believers and saw some of the most incredible structures both natural and chiseled by man.Meer informatie

Dag 6
Wadi Rum
8 maart 2023, Jordanië ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C
We trekked into the desert by jeep with stops at many fun hiking spots and areas of significance to the Bedouins. Our jeep driver was a young guy who had too much adrenaline and thought it was a race.... it was a little scary! Also this is where we meet Henrik and his wife who clearly loved the Lord and we were able to have nice conversation with them. :)
We stayed the night in the desert in tents - it was a fun experience although it got very cold that night! It was awe inspiring to see the sun set and rise over such incredible landscape!
Sorry not sorry for all the scenic pictures but it was breathtaking!! The rock structures were so HUGE and the coloring and formations were just beautiful. And of course, the sand dunes... lots and lots of sand :)Meer informatie
