Thank GOD for the opportunity to visit the Bible lands in June this year. Even though we only had 10 days, there were lots to see and learn. It was more of a Bible study tour and we sang praises to GOD daily, studied the Bible, walked on roads Jesus walked on and visited churches with very good acoustics.
Our first stop was at Joppa, the seaport to which Joanh fled in an attempt to avoid preaching to the Nineveh. Here I learnt my first lesson from the vision GOD gave to Peter. Rev Quek, our spiritual guide, highlighted how some good leaders take a longer time to see GOD's bigger picture through this lesson and we have to learn to be patient with these people like GOD did with Peter.
Caesarea, the capital of Palestine for almost 600 years, later a Crusader port. Founded by Herod the Great.
