Dear Family and Friends,
This year, I have an amazing opportunity to travel to Israel with Pastors Lynne and Jim Hammond of Living Word Christian Center, along with other Interns that are currently attending the Disciple Internship program of which I am a part.
This is more than a sightseeing tour. This trip is about educating the younger generation to the truth of the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. American and other worldwide media institutions constantly distort the realities of that conflict. Pastor Jim Hammond believes it is essential to educate our generation on the truth of what is happening so that future generations of our country are not further deceived.
I believe this experience will be life changing in so many ways for me. Not only will I learn the truths about the Palestinian/Israeli conflict firsthand, but I will get a chance to visit the unique places mentioned in the Bible. Our tour guide is an expert in biblical archeology and history of the Holy Land, as well as a former soldier in Israel’s special forces. Here are a few of the sites that he will take us to visit: Nazareth, Tel-Aviv, Masada, Old and New Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Tiberias, Sea of Galilea, Dead Sea, and Golan Heights. Visiting these locations will not only help me understand why Christians support Israel, but it will allow the Bible to come alive for me as I walk where Jesus walked. I know I will come home with a new revelation of Jesus that I will be able to share with others.
The trip will take place April 17–27, 2017. The total cost of this trip is $3,550. I would like to ask that you prayerfully consider donating toward my trip. The Bible says in Genesis 12:3, “I will bless those who bless Israel.” I believe if you choose to donate toward my trip, you will be blessed! I truly appreciate you taking the time to read this letter, and if you are unable to commit to supporting me financially, I ask that you would pray for me during our trip to Israel.
Sincerely,
Robert L. Barksdale
