Gearing up for ResIsrael 2017!

As we get closer to our February 5 departure date, excitement is building among our 35 travelers. We have a very diverse group going this year. For some, this will be their first trip out of the country; for others, this will be their fifth time to Israel! We have travelers ranging in age from 11 to 78 and everything in between. We have participants from the Maryland area, and as well as from all over the country. Please pray for us in the lead up to the trip in the following areas:

• God will draw us into a deeper relationship with Himself.
• We will grow in love for the Scriptures and for God.
• Good health and stamina.
• Safety and good weather while traveling.
• Develop friendships among the group. We will exhibit unity and harmony.
• The Bible will come alive to us and we will better understand the culture and history of Israel.
• Our interactions with others will be gracious, warm and respectful.
• Pray for the people of Israel and all we come in contact with- that there will be peace in the Middle East.
• Joyful Christlike attitude and spirit of excitement for each group member.
• Smooth travel throughout the trip. Our luggage will arrive without any problems.
