Israel, 2023: Pictures and whatnot and so forth…

Our Journey to Israel: March 1-13, 2023

Pastor Chris, Dr. Carl Peters, and Dr. Teresa Gardner (left), along with our dear friend Moti (right) are using this space to share pics and memories from our recent journey. All other informational pics and videos that were previously posted are still available, but most are not present on this page. Contact Chris if you would like one of those resources.

Drs. Carl and Chris posting here (and the Epiclesis podcast page) a series of short conversations about the trip, including some of the historical and biblical insights they shared along the way while we were in Israel.

If you’d like to submit photos/videos, please email a small collection of your best items to PastorChris@Epiclesis.org. Some items may not be posted.

Come back to this page often! We’re updating daily….
