Hey, we’re going to radio silence until we return in early June, when we get back from Israel. Grandparents have arrived to take care of the kiddos and dog (God bless ‘em) and we’re thrilled that we’re boarding a plane. Soon we’ll see:

Jerusalem, the Dead Sea, Qumran, Masada, Ein Kerem, Bethlehem, Jericho, Wadi Kelt, Nazareth, Capernaum, all around the Galilee, Bethany, Bethphage, Mt. of Olives, and then more of Jerusalem.

We’ll be staying in the heart of the old city of Jerusalem and beside the Sea of Galilee for our entire trip. We’re so looking forward to being immersed in Middle East culture and witnessing the intersection of the world’s three largest faiths. I’ve (Lisa) gone before (twenty years ago), but this will be Tim’s first visit.

On occasion, as we find WiFi access, we’ll post to Twitter (@TheWorldCalls) and Facebook (The World is Calling). Look for us there!
