During the month of March, thirty-five Seventh-day Adventists from the Asia-Pacific Division accompanied by Gerhard Pfandl from the Biblical Research Institute traveled through Jordan and Israel visiting such sites as Petra and Mount Nebo in Jordan and Masada and the Dead Sea in Israel. Highlights were the visits to the Garden of Gethsemane and a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee. Memorable moments were also sitting on the Mount of Olives overlooking Jerusalem and standing in front of the Wailing Wall watching the Jewish people worshiping their Creator. The trip was not only interesting but a spiritual experience for all participants.
