Words fall so short of what we experienced in Israel. God was so good with the way He orchestrated our team, our partnership with Holy Land Missions and the Khoury's, and the chance to see Israel. I haven't laughed so hard, and wept so tenderly in one trip ever in my life.
The most astounding mark left most indelibly on my heart was the people of Palestine. I left with a love for a "people" that I never knew 8 days earlier.
Working with Holy Land Missions and Danny Collins was an ABSOLUTELY wonderful experience. Danny handled coordinating with ease and always with a stellar attitude.
He created opportunities for us to serve and take part in the Khoury's church activities as well as invest in the lives of the locals. (MY FAVORITE PART)
Danny also gave us a chance to see Israel and the Scriptures in living color. I am forever thankful for the biblical pictures that are now painted on the canvas of my brain and heart.
Spending time with Pastor Naim, Elvira, Steven and Shari was such a highlight. These are partners in the Kingdom that we dearly love and were thrilled to be able to share time with.
Many, many thanks to Danny and everyone at Holy Land Missions for the opportunity to serve with and be served by your faithful hands.
Indian Rocks will be in prayer and thanksgiving to God for what He is doing through you ALL in the Holy Land, and for what is to come --all for the Kingdom!
I was on the same trip as Jen above, and echo her statements from top to bottom. Every day was a significant emotional moment, when encountering the children the Khoury's have programs for, when engaging Palesinians during our street evangelism walks, when visiting the families of those less fortunate and bringing food baskets to help in any way we could....but the funny thing is these folks lifted us up!
Danny has been a rock star and i wouldn't consider going to Israel w/o coordinating with him first.
The Khoury's are well known throughout not only Palestine, but our entire church commuity back home in Tampa, FL. Both Pastor Naim and Pastor Steven have spoken at our church, and have endeared themselves to our congregations.
Holy Land Missions (HLM) makes it happen, their mission is IAW Matthew 28 where we are all instructed to go out and make disciples of all....and HLM leads the way in the Bethlehem and Jerusalem areas!
