Overview

My Cup Overflows

“You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.” (Psalm 23:5) When God anoints our lives with the Holy Spirit, we can live in the “overflow” of His presence. We want to personally invite you on this trip to the Holy Land. You will experience an “overflowing heart”. We will visit the birthplace of Jesus, the Garden Tomb, the Western Wall, walk the Holy City, visit
Petra (one of the 7 Wonders of the World), spend time on the Sea of Galilee, be baptized in the Jordan River, float in the Dead Sea, meet with refugee children in Jordan, and experience places that we read about in the Bible!
Blessings,
