2 D E A R F R I E N D S I am so excited and honored to invite you to join my wife, Togetta and me for what I know will be a life changing trip! Come with us as we walk in the Footsteps of Jesus, in the Holy Land of Israel. I am not kidding, you will never be the same! You will never read the Bible the same way. You will experience the awe, holiness and beauty of the very land where Jesus and the disciples walked. As many times as I have been there, I always learn, see and experience something new. We will sit on the side of the mountain that tradition says Jesus preached the Sermon on the Mount. I really can t find words to express the tranquility, peace and joy you will experience as we drift on the Sea of Galilee and allow our imaginations to visualize Jesus stepping to the helm of a small boat and silencing the stormy waters with the immortal words, Peace, be still. We will tour such places as Mount Carmel, Capernaum, the Mount of Olives, the Jaffa Gate, Golgotha and the Dead Sea. We will stand in the Garden of Gethsemane near olive trees that date back to the very time that Jesus agonized with sweat like drops of blood as He faced the destiny of Calvary. If you choose, you can join those who will be baptized in the same Jordan River where Jesus was baptized and where John declared, Behold, the Lamb of God Who taketh away the sin of the world. I m telling you, you will never read the Bible the same way after walking, talking, fellowshipping, meditating and worshipping in the land where Jesus walked. I will be teaching at various I am not kidding, you will never be the same! You will never read the Bible the same way. sites along the way and one of the favorite highlights of the trip is a worship service with one of my spiritual sons and the church he pastors; a Black Ethiopian Jewish Christian Spirit-filled congregation right there in Jerusalem. You don t want to miss this time of spiritual renewal, intellectual stimulation, fun and fellowship. We re praying that God will deepen your faith throughout this Holy Land experience In His Name, Bishop Kenneth and Togetta Ulmer

7 T H E B L E S S I N G S O F C H R I ST I A N T R AV E L Deepening relationships with loved ones and with God sometimes requires getting away from the pace and routine of daily life.

Sharing times of quiet pause against the backdrop of majestic scenery and fascinating destinations will deepen your faith as you reconnect with your Savior.
