One of the supreme blessings for me personally was to listen to my daughter, Rachel-Ruth, share two devotionals, one of which was in Jericho. Standing under a sycamore tree, with the traffic of the town swirling around us and vendors hawking their dates and bananas, Rachel-Ruth retold the story of the blind beggar, Bartimaeus who had heard Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. When he cried out, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me, Jesus heard, stopped, and healed him.

When Rachel-Ruth said that Jesus hears our cries, stops everything He is doing, and comes to our aid, one of the local Palestinian men began crying out for help. While he did not pray to receive Jesus as His Savior, he has heard the truth and perhaps one day he will.

Mark 10:46-52

The above post belongs to a number of vignettes written by Anne Graham Lotz from her 2013 trip to Israel. The pictures and videos are a compilation of those taken by iPads, iPhones, and cameras belonging to Anne and other tour members. All of Anne's site teachings were professionally videoed and in the near future, it will be our joy to share some of them with you. But we couldn't resist giving you this "home-made" glimpse of our tour of His land. We pray you will be blessed.
