Our Reunion Tour in Israel was awesome! Fifty three Israelites traveled together throughout the Land for ten days with beautiful weather and sweet spirits. YHWH knitted our hearts to the land and people of Israel. Those who had been before rewnewed their passion for Israel while others on their first visit truly connected to their inheritance.

Special thanks go out to Ephraim and Rimona Frank and all our friends who dwell in Israel for their sacrificial service to all on board. They made the connection to Israel truly memorable and delightful.

In our upcoming MIA Herald we will share more details with you about the trip and some very exciting projects we are working towards in Israel. For now, here are a few pictures and two testimonials to wet your appetite for our next trip - start saving your shekels now so you will be ready to roll!

It's been a week already since we've been back, and we're still thinking a lot about the time spent in the Land and the experience. We miss everyone! Every day was so special! It's hard to say favorite stops, but the Galilee time was really special to us, and the Garden Tomb. We enjoyed seeing so much of Israel, and the different areas, as well as the historic and ancient ruins. It was all so great, and just an unbelievable full and rich itinerary. And, the guides were absolutely superb - the best.

Thanks for all the work in making this tour what it was -truly exceptional.

My favorite stops and experiences: For me, going into Samaria and standing overlooking Shechem was probably at the top of the list. Shechem was put on my heart the first time we went to the MIA conference in 2000. I still don't understand why the Father has put this particular place in my thoughts and on my heart, but to stand there and overlook it was an amazing moment for me. Standing up on Har Bracha with Nir was another great experience, and also going to Shiloh was very moving spiritually for me. I felt led to repent for all my past generations while we were meditating there, and I think it was huge in the spiritual realm. I felt so connected to the Land there.
