No doubt we only “scratched the surface” of what is available as Biblical sites in both Israel and Jordan but we know that reading the Bible will be much more informed after this trip.
Today we farewelled the Bible Lands Study group that we travelled with throughout Israel and Jordan. They are travelling by bus to Tel Aviv Airport via Jerusalem for the red eye special flight to Sydney via Bangkok.
There is a sense of security being with a tour group that we will miss for the next five days before we pick up our next tour group in Egypt.
It was a great multi age group and we enjoyed the fellowship and energy of both younger and older members of the group.
If ever you get the opportunity to do such a trip and walk in the steps of Jesus, his disciples and the prophets before them, then take it – it has been an extremely fulfilling experience.
This afternoon we visited the Bible Society of Jordan and spoke with General Secretary Munther Na’mat and Distribution Manager Salim Qubain.
They showed us some of the materials in the wide range of languages they hold for local Jordanians and the many foreign nationals who work in Jordan. They shared some of the procedures necessary for working in Jordan.
We enjoyed their hospitality and shared many stories of mutual friends.
