“My world was quickly turned upside down upon arriving in Israel. My fellow participants and I opened the Scriptures together, hiked many, many miles, and were challenged to start seeing the Bible through the eyes of a first-century Jew. I couldn’t believe what I was learning. I had grown up in church all my life, but our director’s teaching was opening my eyes to see the Bible in a way I never had before. I wasn’t just studying at home or sitting in a class, I was experiencing the Bible and watching it come to life.”
