A short video clip from day one of our ten day trip. A beautiful sunset on the coast of Tel Aviv. The weather was spectacular the whole ten days we were there.

Thanks for posting the videos. I feel as though I am right there experiencing everything along side you guys. The sunset is so enchanting, tranquil and peaceful. Love it!
I love the picture on the church web site page..the one of the olive grove. I never imagined olive trees looking that way. They are such majestic looking trees. You mentioned Jesus high priestly prayer in John 14. What is that exactly? Is it when Jesus says let not your heart be troubled...is it everything in red in the bible where Jesus is speaking? Is this olive grove the place Jesus said this?
Did you experience strong emotions while walking the same places Jesus did and knowing what happened in these places? Did you picture all the things in your minds eye that we know about from reading God's word?
Did you guys stop and worship in prayer and singing along the way?
How did it effect your life and your walk with the Lord after seeing all you did there?
In chapter 18 of John in the first verse it tells us that Jesus went to the olive grove to pray. Also when Jesus went tot he Garden of Gethsemane this is usually where he prayed at the Mount of Olives overlooking the Eastern Gate (Mercy Gate). The two most special places for me (and it's different for everyone) were the Wailing Wall and this Olive grove on the Mount of Olives. I though about Jesus praying for me there and it was so moving.
What an awesome group picture of Faith Assembly on the opening page! Can you find me in there anywhere? It's hard to make out faces real clearly. I can't wait to get a copy of it.
The church group picture turned out fantastic. I'd like to say one thing about Faith Assembly of God church body if I could. I have been away for a couple of months. I can say without a shadow of a doubt, that yes, indeed, Faith Assembly is one of the most loving, caring group of believers. They truly love our Lord Jesus and one another like family. This church not only is modern, exciting and cutting edge, but, at the same time it has the feel of an old time church with that old time religion. You know a praying church that has alters and alter calls and just lets The Holy Spirit have free reign. The kind of church that just preaches the Word...ALL of the Word..not just a feel good message to tickle your ear, but powerful, relevant, meaningful messages that CHANGE and TRANSFORM you. That is preaching the gospel and allowing the Holy Spirit to freely move and really work in you life. That very thing is missing in some of the bigger mega churches. Faith Assembly's worship team lead by Noemi Royer is second to none. I have always felt such a strong presence of The Holy Spirit doing a work in me through her music ministry. Faith Assembly of God in League city is a special, special body of believers. I highly recommend this church to anyone looking for a home church.

What is the significance of the wailing wall? Don't the Jews pray there? Why do they pray there as opposed to the synagog or somewhere else?
