We all excitedly arrived at the church this morning at 4:15 AM for the long day’s journey. Tulsa to Houston was an easy leg. Your pastor talked some poor lady’s ear off the entire flight while many others enjoyed the rest of their night’s sleep.
In Houston, we were already prepared for a slight delay, but it ended up being the “three hour tour”. Our aircraft was sent back to the hanger for unscheduled maintenance. We of course missed he connection flight in New Jersey because of this delay.
The downtime, however, was actually nice. Many of us had never met before. We were essentially strangers traveling the world together. Having a church our size is a blessing and a curse at times. I had seen most of them at one time or another, but I did not have names ready on my tongue. We swapped stories and joked. I interviewed several about their expectations of the trip. The overwhelming response was that “we were about to walk the same road and same steps of our Savior Jesus Christ.”
Once we finally made it to Newark, we were made to wait again. Because the original flight was delayed so much we don’t board until close to 11PM EST later tonight. Most of you interested in keeping up with us will be at the end of your day as well.
We will leave here at 11pm...for our 10 hours flight.
We will sleep on the lane for several hours
We arrive in Tel Aviv Israel at 4pm tomorrow...this will be your 8am tomorrow.
Pray for us. Pray for safe travels. Pray for safety of each of the travelers.
