LPTS Holy Land Pilgrimage 2009: And off we go...

Welcome to our Blog...

Twenty-two pastors are traveling together from June 18 to July 2 to the land of our faith's beginnings. We will visit, learn, pray, and reflect on the relationship between what we experience there and our vocations at home. This blog will share our day-to-day journey with our friends and family at home. We covet your prayers.Funded through the generosity of the CF Foundation of Atlanta, the pilgrimage is led by the Rev. Dr. Patricia Tull, A.B. Rhodes Professor of Old Testament at LPTS, and the Rev. Dr. David Hester, LPTS's Dean and Harrison Ray Anderson Professor of Ministry.The most recent blog entry is posted at the top. To read from the beginning of the blog, scroll to the end.

And off we go...

We will all be flying today to Atlanta, where we will depart this evening for Frankfurt, Germany, and on to Tel Aviv by tomorrow afternoon. In Tel Aviv we will board a bus to travel to Tabgha on the Sea of Galilee, where we will be staying for the first week.
