We have been in Jerusalem for a day and a half and have already seen so much. Here’s our team in the heart of Hezekiah’s tunnel. We had a faith stretching experience walking through this dark engineering wonder. Sometimes knee deep in water, we sang, joked, laughed, and sauntered our way out to the Pool of Siloam – remember the stories about it? We also visited and prayed at the Western Wall – it was hot and a very moving experience. We also toured the Temple Tunnels – where they are excavating the original old city. We saw the original foundation of Herod’s Western Wall – the 600 ton, 13.5 meters (think city bus) and the uncovered original stones that the Romans threw off the top of the Wall in 70 AD. We saw the Upper Room and David’s tomb and a ceremonial bath believed to be the baptismal for the newly converted Christians after Pentecost. An amazing and very full day. We’re tired and ready for sleep…more tomorrow!
