We're still in the Holy City.

It's Wednesday at 6 pm now (8 am Wednesday at home). We've just returned from another very warm tour of Old Jerusalem (it's rumored to be 48 degrees today) the last couple of days have not slowed down at all. Breakfast at 6:30, prayer at 7:30. Services at 9 till 12:30, tours till 4:30 and then more Convention. Its all so good we haven't wanted to miss a minute. I heard some say they came looking more forward to the tour of the holy land than the services but those same people all seem to agree that the worship services have been the highlight of the trip.

Last evening we were awed by the musical drama by the New Covenant Players. This large group has travelled all over Israel and put on the story of Israel's history from Abraham to today. It was the most moving Drama I have ever seen

Our tours during the Convention have all been in the Jerusalem area. Yesterday we saw the tomb of David, the Upper room where the Holy Spirit fell on the day of Pentecost, and the house of Caiaphas. Then we spent about an hour at the huge model ( 1/50 th actual size) of the ancient City of Jerusalem of Jesus, day.

Our visit to the Holocaust Museum was both sickening to see the depths of human hate and depravity and at the same time inspiring to hear the stories of bravery and heroism.

Today we spent several hours on Mt Zion and at the Wailing wall. This is some of the only actual land that Jesus walked on. We touched the same stones and looked at the same architecture that Jesus did. Tonight there's no service so I hear we're hitting the marketplace. Shalom!
