Israel day 1

We made it to Israel!!!
After a 10 hour flight that was more like 12 hours because of bad weather in Newark.  We met up with our group (41 people from various parts of the USA) and all made it through security without a hitch. (So many checkpoints!)
We went to Sderot a town that is right by the Gaza Strip. I have a new respect for these people. There are missiles being shot at them everyday! And they only have 7-10 seconds to get to a bomb shelter that is by every building. Talk about living your life in fear!
We then got back on our bus and traveled to an overlook where we could see Gaza and some of the refugee camps. The Pastor that is along with us spoke for a bit and then as a group we lifted hands towards Gaza and prayed for their salvation. It was amazing! It had been pretty still but as soon as we started praying this gentle breeze started blowing. I think blowing our blessing over to Gaza! We
We then got on the bus and drove for 3 1/2 hours to Eliat where we staying now. We also got to drive through the equivalent of their grand Canyon and learned that all the information scientists are discovering is proving creation and not evolution!  Talk about neat!
Not sure how many pictures I'll have because I'm taking them on my camera and not my phone.
