With all of the worlds turmoil going on with nuclear deals, economic uncertainty and terrorism on the rise in the Middle East. A church on one of the Hawaiian Islands has a group of 15 Christians going to Israel. In the midst of military leader, countries and religious groups from around the world boycotting and calling for the annihilation of Israel these brave souls are literally going into the lion’s den. A person has to ask why, what is the purpose and is there something they know we don’t.
For many years now people have been making a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Not just Christians but Catholics, Judaism and Muslims. The Bible has many references to Israel as the promise land. In the book of Isaiah it says Israel will be saved. In the book of Revelation it says the end of end battles will take place at Valley of Megiddo. This band of Christians from Hawaii will be making the pilgrimage, following the footsteps of Moses and the Israelites through Israel and Jordan. This won’t be a vacation and as their leader has said “It will be like going to seminary school for two years.”
It turns out that Israel is one of the safest places to go. The country is safe and has a highly trained police and military always on the job. It turns out their pastor has done this many times. Even still these Christians love and trust God to go to the Middle East. This small band of Christians are being obedient and following their heart. They know all things are possible through God. Their purpose it to better understand the word of God and to stand with Israel as other countries and people want to distance themselves.
There is a crowdfunding that has been launched to support the group, as it is not one easy to travel from Hawaii to Israel. The following is the link : www.indiegogo.com
