City of David

Well we spend Sunday driving up the border of Israel and Jordan. A long trip from Eilat to Jerusalem. Some of our stops included - Timna Park - where we saw a full scale setup of the Tabernacle. This is also the place where they found Jethro's dwells and alters before he believed after Mose's testimony of leading the Israelites out of Egypt. We were able to pray with Cami the lady who runs the ministry there. Very powerful - our delegation from Idaho blessed her with an arrow as a sign of deliverance and she blessed us with a prayer. Awesome!

We then drove on to the crossing where the children of Israel and the family of Jesus would have traveled - forgive i can't remember the name right now - there is so much. But it was an old church - the truth is that they know the highways of old because they could only travel on certain paths b/c of the landscape. From there we went to the area of Sodom and Gomorrah - we got some salt - might be Lots wife. We got to visit the dead sea and put our feet in the water, but we were a little behind schedule so that was all - very beautiful. We then traveled up into Jerusalem arriving at about 10pm. Another long day!

Yesterday, monday, we drove around Jerusalem and then spent the day in the Old City of David, not the old city inside the wall but just outside. This is where they are digging up the actual temple of Solomon. It was AWESOME. they have found the Gihon spring, Pool of Siloam, and Hezekiah's Tunnel. The access we got behind closed parts was cool! We went to Rachel's tomb where they found David's palace and where Boaz and Ruth met and married. This was uncover by the military when they were digging bunkers. It's like a giant buried treasure chest of history here.

We went to the 24/7 house of prayer last night, where JoAnne McFatter lead worship - it was amazing. We are going back on Wednesday. Tony got to play the congos with her. Go Tony!

We love you and miss you. Thank you for the prayers, we feel great and are doing great. Keep praying for the luggage!

Blessings, Jeph and Jaclyn

P.S. Lori - I was not disappointed ;)
