FIRST DAY :)

Praising the Lord for His goodness!
First day has been amazing, and were not even in Israel yet! It was a joy to meet the team members, some of whom are in these photos: (Click on image to enlarge)

We all met at the airport, said hello and so and so :)

Then we had this excellent meeting, with an most excellent cake involving us and our happiness. :) 

It's late, I need rest, that means the End. :)

Nearing my Departure!

I am looking forward with much anticipation to this adventure!! 

May God be glorified in every detail of this trip..

I have started the stage of second guessing my checklist, making sure I'm not leaving anything important, like passports, cameras, laptops...haha :)

I took this image two years ago, and hope to take many more from this angle (on top the Mount of Olives)

How wise are we?

As I prepare for a journey to Israel, I'm asking the Lord for guidance and opportunities to share my faith, please pray that I will take every chance to be a witness for Jesus Christ.

Christ for the world we sing,
The world to Christ we bring, with loving zeal,
The poor and them that mourn, the faint and overborne,
Sin sick and sorrow worn, whom Christ doth heal.

Christ for the world we sing,
The world to Christ we bring, with fervent prayer;
The wayward and the lost, by restless passions tossed,
Redeemed at countless cost, from dark despair.

Christ for the world we sing,
The world to Christ we bring, with one accord;
With us the work to share, with us reproach to dare,
With us the cross to bear, for Christ our Lord.

Christ for the world we sing,
The world to Christ we bring, with joyful song;
The newborn souls, whose days, reclaimed from error’s ways,
Inspired with hope and praise, to Christ belong.

Samuel Wolcott, 1869

Welcome!!!

Thank you for showing interest in my upcoming trip to Israel! I'm excited to see what the Lord is going to do, and for the many opportunities we will have to learn and experience this amazing land.

Here is my group from two years ago!!

Remember to pray for the 2010 ORIGINS team!!

Thank you,

Jon Courville
