RVL in Sugarcreek Ohio

Every session was packed with people. Thursday evening we had around 930 in attendance. Friday evening we had around 1050. We had seating for around 700 in the main auditorium we set up video feed into another room for around 230 people plus the main foyer had over 100 people.

On Saturday morning in a rainstorm we had people at the outside door waiting to get in 2 hours before the service started. At eight o'clock we opened the door and these pictures were taken once they got into the building. On Saturday we fed around 800 people lunch in a large tent on the outside.

Many people traveled from afar to hear from the Word of God! The states represented are California, Montana, Kansas, Texas, Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, Georgia, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and all over Ohio! God blessed us so richly with all these brothers and sisters. The lessons were so vividly imprinted into our hearts!

RVL in Sugarcreek Ohio

It's been over a year since we we walked and learned from RVL and now the doors opened in Sugarcreek for us all to ones again hear him teach us from the Bible. On Thursday evening we had around 950 people. I hope to put some video of this event on youtube next week. Check back!

We had a tremendous response from the community. I almost didn't get the ushers there in time as people were coming already an hour before the event started on Thursday evening.

Pictures of the Israelites!

Day 12 Jerusalem

Last day scenes of Jerusalem! Mt of Olives, Eastern gate, Garden of Gethsemane. What great memories!!

Day 11 Jerusalem

I don't think anybody in our group will ever forget our first day in the city on the beginning of the Sabbath!

Day 11

This morning we moved to Jerusalem. We hiked to the top of Mt Carmel to find out the bus wasn't there to pick us up. We hiked back down. Elijah must have been pretty well built. My knee still hurts today from that trek. We left this area and stopped by to visit these nice gardens before we ended up in Jerusalem. These olive trees may have been there back in Jesus time.

Day 10 Continued.........

This day has been so packed full. From an unplanned stop by the hillside to have a lesson on the sower and continued to the threshing floor, the nice fields of boundaries and then to the stone quarry. We stopped for a session at the winepress and had the girls dance. That was special!! We had a lesson under the trees but can't recall the lesson. Next we visited another one of Herod's buildings.

We left this place and headed to Capernaum and visited the place were Jesus lived. We walked up the hill by the groves of bananas. What else am I missing for this power packed day??

One Year Anniversary!

A year ago this was us! We were in Chicago heading to Israel for a wonderful study trip to the land of the Bible. These pictures came from Terry, Spencer, Levi and Anne!

Day 10 Continued.........

After the sower, the thrashing floor we got to the possible (carpenters shop) new thought on the work traits of our Messiah!

Day 10 Continued.........

The second part of our day was outside of Bethlehem if I recall correctly. We passed some nice Olive Trees and our teacher broke off a few twigs and took them along to the top of a hill (threshing floor). I couldn't find a picture of this so maybe I'll try and convert a video file.

We walked a ways and got another nice picture of the land dividers aka rocks and path. Anybody remember specific lessons from here?

Day 10 The sower

I recall jumping passionately on the bus for another day of learning. As we drove east from the nice restful hotel like the day before, no idea where we go but convinced another day we wouldn't want to be left behind. All of a sudden we hear the sounds something like this, "It seems the Lord has other plans, pull over stop the bus!" Getting 50 people to vacate the bus and cross a busy highway is a challenge.
This morning the traffic was heavy as the children of Israel aka Joe tried to cross together. You kidding me, half the group was down the other side by the time us taggers finally got to cross over.
Anybody remember the wonder lessons we learned here? Remember those guys trying to dig and carry out a rock? How about some comments on the lesson of the sower.
