Israel Journey – Day 1
Monday, November 3rd
Day 1:
Shelley’s and my journey to the Promised Land began with our friend Pat, picking us up at 7:00 am and driving us to Detroit Metropolitan Airport, for a 10:15 am flight to the JFK Airport in New York City. There we had a five hour layover before our 10 hour flight to Tel Aviv. Israel is 7 hours ahead of Michigan’s EST. Thus, we arrived there at about 10:00 am Tuesday morning. I had prayed over the previous few weeks for, and about the person that would sit next to me on the long flight. He turned out to be a self-proclaimed “Orthodox Jewish rebel” from the Bronx, on his way to Israel, seeking his spiritual identity. God allowed me much time to witness to him about Jesus the Messiah! Thank you Lord!

Here we are after our arrival at the Mediterranean Seacoast.
