Saturday, April 2 - The Northern Border


Teaching at Caesarea Phillipi
 We began another great day by the Sea of Galilee at the site where Jesus likely delivered his Sermon on the Mount (Mt. 5-7).  What an incredible setting to read Scripture, pray and sing together!  From there we headed north to the ancient city of Dan (amazing ruins from the time of Abraham), then on to Caesarea Phillipi where Jesus declared, "Upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" (Mt. 16:18), with additional stops and wonderful experiences too numerous too mention.  Back at our hotel we ended the day with a time of worship and praise, hearing several moving testimonies from those baptized one day ago.  The God of Abraham is at work changing lives today!

Tomorrow we leave early for a day at the Dead Sea.  We are praying for a great day of worship for our church family back home in Charlotte!
