Just a quick update for today. We stayed right around the old city of Jerusalem for the entire day viewing parts of King David's original city and walking around the temple mount. It was amazing because one piece of rock and some stairs are still left over from the 1st century temple of Jesus' time. I was able to stand at the exact spot that Jesus most assuredly walked on every time he came to the Temple.
The most moving moment of the day came when we had the opportunity to pray at the Western Wall on the western side of the Temple Mount. I kept hearing all of the people around me praying and crying out to God and all I could do was stand there in the rain with my cardboard yarmulke on and pray that God would continue to do what He has promised: Build His Church and call His children to Himself.
That's all for now. We are headed up to the Mount of Olives tomorrow and to the Holy Sepulcher which is over the area of Jesus' death and resurrection. More to come tomorrow.
Peace,
-AM
