March 2, 2010My Trip to Israel
Join me in my journey through the Holy Land
by Amy Simpson
I'm excited to announce that I've been blessed with an opportunity to travel to Israel. And I'd like to take you with me--well, sort of.
Next week, with a group of other representatives from Christian media organizations, I'll be touring the Holy Land and visiting numerous biblical sites. Even in glancing through a preliminary itinerary for the trip, I've been amazed at the thought of seeing so many important places in real life. I hope to learn a lot, to see my faith in a new way, and to share with you what I experience along the way. I plan to blog from Israel each day next week, so stop by to read about my journey. I hope to share photos and maybe some video as well so you can experience a bit of Israel with me.
See you next week. Shalom.

Looking forward to reading what you have instored for us; I've been to the Holy Land 10 years ago and it was indeed the trip of a lifetime!
Shalom
