Our group is seated on the front stair of the Church of All Nations.
Our group is wrapping up an incredible journey in Jerusalem, preparing to board the bus for the long journey home. For me, this marks the end of an entire tour season—two months abroad that have been as rewarding as they were exhausting.
We spent our final day at the Church of All Nations, which stands in solemn remembrance of the Garden of Gethsemane. The name Gethsemane itself means “oil press,” a place of “pressing.” It felt like a fitting theme as the Mosaic Christian Church group “presses” toward the finish line of their study tour today.
After weeks on the road, I’m ready to trade my backpack for my own front door.
