I loved today! We set off at dawn on a boat ride across the Sea of Galilee to the North End. Along the way we stopped the boat, shut off the engine and after worshipping a while, sat in complete silenced on the Sea. It was an awesome experience. Along the way we stopped at the place where Jesus gave the Beatitudes the seaside where Jesus told Peter he loved him even after he’d cursed him—they ate fish together on this very spot.


Then we visited Capernaum where Jesus spent most of his time and Peter lived. We also saw a 2000 year old boat which has recently been excavated from the sands of Galilee. It was like the one Jesus used to teach from.

One of the highlights of our visit was at the Jordan River. I had the priviliege of baptizing 10 of our church in the river. The water was bath-tub warm and a large catfish swarmed around our legs.
