All This And A Cruise Too!

Day 4. What could be better than singing praise songs in a boat on the Sea of Galilee? This is the way today began. We were all blessed by the singing of Daniel Carmel, a Messianic Jew who operates a cruise boat on the sea (find Daniel on the internet at http://www.seaofgalileeworshipboats.com/). He has rewritten several of our favorites into Hebrew and sang them for us while showing us how to fish on the sea.  Then we stopped to see the remains of a 2000-year-old boat from the time of Jesus found in the mud during a drought in the late 1980s.

Later we stopped by the Mount of Beatitudes and then on to Capernaum to check in with Peter's mother-in-law and visit the synagogue. At the end of the day we went to the baptismal site on the Jordan River where Pastors Tom and Rick immersed some of our group in baptism or rededication.
