Last day in Israel

Church in Nazareth  This is a pulpit that my DS Kerri Willis has preached numerous times.

We decided to spent our last day we the Holy Land with our Nazarene brothers and sisters. We met up with Pastor Nizar and his lovely wife Katie.

On the way to Nazareth

Church of the Nazarene in Nazareth 

Gary and Nizar talking AVL

Pastor Nizar is native to Nazareth and Katie is from Jerusalem. They meet at a Christian youth camp, fell involve and not long after that God called Nizar. He is DS of Israel, overseeing 6 churches but his main church he pastors is the Nazarene church in Nazareth. The locals know him and love him. We walked about 15 minutes and every other 10 steps he would stop hug and talk to someone in the community. 

The Church of Annunciation 

It took Gary about 30 minutes to put gas in the car and we still didn't get enough. It was so complicated, we needed an Israeli ID to just get gas.
