Travel to the Sea of Galilee region to be with Messianic believers in Israel.

Dec. 5, 2025. Israel

Laurie and I took three days from our Jerusalem service to head to the north to spend time with decades long friends.

Along the way to northern Israel and the Sea of Galilee region (Tiberias) we also stopped by and spent an hour with Barry Segal at the Vision for Israel ministry just west of Jerusalem.
