How It All Began

(All those appearing in this post have given their permission, and I didn’t even have to pay them!)

I’m not exactly a world traveler. I’ve only left the U.S. mainland for my wedding in Hawaii, Puerto Rico and a few cruises to The Bahamas and Mexico. So, when my passport gets stamped as I travel to Israel next month, it will be a first!

How did it happen then, that my first big trip abroad would be to The Holy Land? Well, it all started three years ago, here.

 

When my husband and I found our way to St. James UMC in Little Rock, we knew almost immediately this was where God wanted us to be. The Senior Pastor at the time, Siegfried Johnson (Sieg) was from Pine Bluff, like us; and we had lots of connections. Plus, the church had so much of what we wanted, it just felt like home.

One of the many things I admired about Sieg was his knowledge of The Holy Land and the Hebrew Language. He was about to lead another group to Israel that coming May, but if you know anything about the TV business you know you’re not leaving the country for two weeks in May! It’s ratings and severe weather season.

We soon joined an adult Sunday School class led by Dr. Scott Stern and found out the class had long term plans to visit the Holy Land with Sieg in 2019. Immediately, God told me, “Go.” And so three years later, I’m going.

Scott and his wife, Cindy have since become dear friends of ours. Scott was raised in a Jewish family, and his knowledge of Israel and its culture is also amazing. I’ve already learned so much in our weekly Bible class.
