Day 8 of Trip to Israel

Used some of my free time to do some shopping. A lot of stores are located in the Old City. We are used to seeing a map of the Old City in the back of our Bibles. It looks something like this:

















There are so many stores competing for your business that it gives you a chance to bargain with the store owners. One of the things you don't see in the stores are price tags.
















A leg of roasted lamb.

















A butcher skinning birds right in front of you.

















A store with a lot of spices and scents.














When a person turns 18, they are required to be in the Israeli army. Men serve for four years, women for two. Here you see them carrying automatic weapons out in the open.













At dinner, Pastor Jack welcomes everyone to the School of Pastoral Nurture, the title Pastor Jack's investment into pastors. This special module focuses on Israel. There are 90 pastors and wives taking part.














Pastor Jack challenged us to do four things as we tour Israel:
1) Get it all - take it everything you can
2) See the small - sometimes you will some some detail that is significant only to you
3) Hear the call - sense the power of God in the sites
4) Have a ball - have fun
