“The mind of man plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.” (Proverbs 16:9)
Lord willing, on February 26, 2024, we will be boarding our non-stop flight to Tel-Aviv with an amazing group of travelers to walk in the footsteps of Jesus in the Holy Land of Israel and travel to ancient land of Jordan, where we will experience one of the seven wonders of the world at Petra!
Today we begin counting down the days…365…364…363….
Is travel to the Holy Land on your bucket list? Would you love to see all seven wonders of the world? Or maybe just one? Do you want to walk the streets of Jerusalem and see where Jesus walked – or sail on the see of Galilee, where Jesus walked on water? Have you ever wondered what it is feels like to float in the Dead Sea or be baptized in the Jordan River?
The year of 2024 can be your year! What are you waiting for? Make your decision today and you will, Lord willing, have a year to plan, prepare, save, and work toward this once in a lifetime trip!
I humbly say, Lord willing, especially since March of 2020. We were scheduled to lead a tour to Greece with 29 travelers just eleven days after the world shut down due to COVID. Of course, our trip was cancelled like everyone else with travel plans in the rest of the world! We tried to schedule it again in the fall of 2020, spring of 2021 and the fall of 2021. Thankfully, in the spring of 2022, a handful of our original group of travelers settled on the Second Missionary Journey of Paul tour, like the one we led in 2018, since no one knew at that time when or if the original tour would be available. The group had a glorious time. The second missionary journey of Paul is one of our favorite trips! We hope to do this trip again in the future. Finally, in November of 2022, we were able to take a delightful group of folks on the original Greece & Three Continent Cruise Tour that included Ephesus, Egypt, Cyprus, Israel, and Rhodes. That trip was absolutely incredible.
So we have learned to say, “Lord willing!” which is definitely a biblical principle for those who follow Jesus. James writes in his epistle,
Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city…]Yet you do not know [h]what your life will be like tomorrow…Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that.” (James 4:13-15, NASB)
Today, travel appears to be back to normal. We are expectantly and confidently looking forward to traveling to Israel and Jordan Feb 26 to Mar 8, 2024, and we invite you to go with us. At the same time, we don’t forget the words of James! We need to live fully and make the most of every moment. And at the same time we need to remember, as King Solomon wisely wrote, “The mind of man plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.” (Proverbs 16:9).
