The Journey

Approximately 10 weeks ago, I received an email invitation that upon first glance, appeared to be one of those, "too good to be true" offers we have all received. And, 99.99% of the time, they ARE too good to be true! But, upon further inspection it was indeed an invitation from former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee to go on a spiritual journey with he and his wife, and 100+ pastors from various parts of the United States. The journey begins on Wednesday, November 12th and continues through Friday, November 21st. During those ten days, we will fly to Krakow, Poland and visit Nazi concentration camps at Auschwitz and Birkenau, tour Schindler's Factory and visit important sites in Poland where Pope John Paul II was born and raised. On Sunday, November 16th, we will fly to London, England where we will go on a private tour of Parliament, and Westminster Abby. We will also tour the home of Sir Winston Churchill and visit sites important to Margaret Thatcher and view London from the London Eye. On Wednesday, November 19th we will fly to Los Angeles and tour Ronald Reagan's Presidential Library.
Pope John Paul II, Margaret Thatcher, and Ronald Reagan were all instrumental in the eventual collapse of Communism in Russia and Europe. Their economic policies, military, and spiritual beliefs were legendary and we will get an opportunity to see how faith in Jesus Christ raises the dignity of all human beings and shapes governments. I'm not sure how much free time we will have or how good our Internet connections will be, but if possible, I will try to write about some of my experiences in this BLOG. Your prayers for safe travel, God's Holy Spirit at work in our lives through these experiences, and that the networking with other Christians would prove beneficial to the various churches represented by these many pastors, as well as the states they live in, and our nation, would be greatly appreciated.
