What happens when a comfortably retired pastor and a comfortably retired missionary venture forth from the comfort of their condo? We're Malcolm and Valerie, and we're off on an adventure!

Building Memories

Gethsemane, the Mount of Olives, the Garden Tomb, Abraham's tent, Bethlehem -- it's been another good day with more good memories. For me seeing the empty tomb will always be a high point of any Jerusalem trip. Pictures will be posted eventually; meanwhile some of the things I will remember about today:

  • Leading communion beside an empty tomb for over 50 friends, most of whom I didn't know a few days ago...
  • Crashing a funeral in Bethlehem...
  • Losing a hearing aid (and I was worried about my wallet)...
  • Riding a camel (yes, you read that right)...
At the end of the day we heard from a messianic Jewish pastor, and I will also remember his unexpected answer to a question about how American Christians can support their messianic brothers and sisters in Israel. He said, "Pray for revival in America."
