Testimonials from our Travelers
Dear JTI,
Harold and I want to thank you again for our wonderful trip to Israel.
As Christians, it meant much to us to see this Holy Land, but it was also meaningful to see other cultures and beliefs. We will never forget the sights and sounds, the tastes and smells.
The last four nights I have dreamed that I was still there [in Israel], so you can see, it really made an impression.
Pastor Harold and Jane Brown
