CONTINENTAL MileagePlus Program— the world’s most rewarding loyalty program. – Continental OnePass


Greetings Pilgrims, Something to think about and take care of before we travel is Airline Miles. Do you have a mileage plan already? If so, please check to see if they are partners with Continental or United. Then be sure to have your mileage number ready and with you so when we check in at the airport you can get credit for your travel. If your mileage plan does not include Continental, then it might be a good idea to go ahead and register for this one since you will get a whole bunch of miles on this trip. It is all up to you. We can't do it for you, but I have included this helpful page to remind you to get this task out of the way. You can go to the United Airlines website at United.com and take care of it there.

MileagePlus® — The world’s most rewarding loyalty program.

of 69


MileagePlus will be the loyalty program for the new United. We look forward to welcoming you into MileagePlus and will continue to work hard to build the world's leading rewards program. OnePass® members will be automatically enrolled in MileagePlus when OnePass ends. OnePass members will be automatically enrolled in the MileagePlus program. You don't need to do anything. Rest assured that all of your reward miles, Elite Qualifying Miles and Elite Qualifying Points in OnePass and MileagePlus will be secure as we transition to a single program in the first quarter of 2012. In 2012, your flights on Continental and United will earn reward miles, Elite Qualifying Miles and Elite Qualifying Segments in MileagePlus. You will receive your 2012 Elite status based on your OnePass (and any MileagePlus) Elite Qualifying Miles and Elite Qualifying Points in 2011. The OnePass program will formally end on Dec. 31, 2011, followed by a wind-down period during the first quarter of 2012. During the wind-down period, your OnePass reward miles will remain available for redemption. Following the wind-down period, we will replace your OnePass reward miles with an equivalent grant of MileagePlus reward miles. We will also replace your OnePass Elite Qualifying Miles and Elite Qualifying Points with an equivalent grant of MileagePlus Elite Qualifying Miles and Elite Qualifying Segments. We will update you further on specific transition plans in the coming months. More details about the 2012 MileagePlus program. In the coming months, we will share complete details about the 2012 MileagePlus program, including Elite levels, qualifications and benefits; lifetime benefits; and other program developments, so stay tuned. You can also get updates at onepassmergerupdates.com. In MileagePlus, you will enjoy the benefits of membership in the world's most rewarding loyalty program. With our wide array of travel, credit card and retail partners, no other airline program gives you better opportunities to quickly earn miles for travel, as well as the things you do every day. No other rewards program provides you

access to United's exclusive world-class travel services, like Economy Plus® extra legroom seating and Premier Access airport services. And now that United has the leading global network, no other airline offers more destinations for reward travel. It's no wonder that in 2010 MileagePlus was voted Best Frequent Flyer Program by Global Traveler magazine for the seventh year in a row. And that in 2011 we won the Frequent Traveler award for best airline Elite program for the second year in a row. Learn more about MileagePlus Credit Card benefits will continue. If you are a Continental Airlines Cardmember, you can still use your Credit Card as usual — there is nothing you need to do differently. You can continue to use your Card in 2012 to earn miles in your MileagePlus account. If you don't have a Continental Airlines Credit Card, now is a good time to get one. An expanded route network means you'll enjoy more choices than ever for reward travel around the world. With a Continental Airlines Credit Card, you earn miles for your everyday spending and will see your miles balance will grow. You can continue to use your Card in 2012 to earn miles in your MileagePlus account. Learn more about Continental Airlines Credit Cards Continental Airlines' participation in the American Express® Membership Rewards® program is ending.

If you have Membership Rewards® points, you can transfer them into your OnePass account through Sept. 30,

of 69


2011. The opportunity to transfer Membership Rewards® points for reward travel on Continental will no longer be an option after that date. When OnePass ends, we will give you MileagePlus award miles equal to your

OnePass reward miles balance, including your Membership Rewards® transfers. Transfer now United and MileagePlus bring you great travel opportunities. With United and MileagePlus, you can enjoy the benefits of the world's most rewarding loyalty program.

More worldwide destinations

You can now travel to more than 370 destinations on United's unparalleled global network. That's

100 more than before. The addition of United's domestic hub airports in Chicago, Denver, Washington, D.C., San

Francisco and Los Angeles means you can now fly to more than 220 destinations in the United

States. From San Francisco, United's main transpacific gateway, you can choose from more than 250 daily

departures to destinations including Asia and Australia.

More comfort

Enjoy access to Economy Plus seating on United, with up to five extra inches of legroom so you can stretch out and relax on your trip. It's complimentary for Elite members and available for purchase for all other members. And we will begin expanding Economy Plus to the Continental

fleet in 2012. With Premier Access, first- and business-class travelers and MileagePlus elite members enjoy

priority check-in, security, boarding, and baggage handling, to streamline travel through the airport.

Special privileges MileagePlus Elite members receive special privileges like Unlimited Domestic Upgrades, Systemwide Upgrades, and class-of-service and Elite bonus miles. These benefits make travel more comfortable and rewarding for our most valuable frequent travelers. MileagePlus Merger Updates

Presidents Club®

Presidents Club members continue to have access to all Presidents Club locations, United Red Carpet

Club® lounges and select partner lounges. Learn more or join

Greetings Pilgrims, One of the highlights for many while visiting the Holy Land is the Garden Tomb. While it cannot be proven that it is the tomb of Jesus it is still a very moving experience to spend time there. I thought some of you may like to read the article about the burial of Jesus that can be downloaded for free by following this link and then accepting a free on-line subscription to Biblical Archaeology. If this interests you enjoy! If not you can just delete it. http://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/free-ebooks/the-burial-of-jesus/?mqsc=E2921157 God bless!

Greetings Pilgrims, We are making progress and all but two couples on this list have registered on TED. If you are one of the couples that did not, then make sure to get it started. Don't worry that your application did not show up if you have already registered. There is no need to follow-up and have me check on it for you. I'll follow-up in a couple of weeks if there are still any who have not registered and send a personal note. I'll be sending things out from time to time to keep you thinking about our pilgrimage. One more reminder about passports. Please double check your expiration date to ensure that it does not expire less than six months beyond the end of our tour. You don't want to get stranded in Jordan! Here is our list of pilgrims. Whenever there are any changes to it, I'll be sure and update you. You will receive information from either me or Hope Maxey as we go along. Shalom!

Greetings fellow Pilgrims, I am so pleased to announce that as of today all who have indicated so far that they wish to go have registered on the TED site. Great job! We still have room for four more delegates, and I hope they will begin to get registered soon. For those of you who have registered, you have accomplished this first hurdle. If you are on this list then you have registered. If you have a passport that's good because you will need it. When you get a chance, please scan your passport opened to the photo page and send the pdf of the scan to Hope Maxey. If you don't have a passport please work on that ASAP then send in your scan as well. Don't forget to double check the expiration date on your passport! This is very important. I don't want to see you left behind either here or over there due to this kind of problem. Remember it must not expire within six months beyond the time we return to America.

I sound like John Wayne (NOT). I just want let you know that I am very excited about going to the 2012 Israel Study Tour with you ALL. I had planned on going in 2012 two (2) years ago. What a great team. (and I have been told we have a very good leader. Praise God. If you are interested I have started a Facebook Group "2012 Israel Study Tour". I know everyone is not on Facebook and that is OK.(I think you can still receive any information etc. not sure though). There are two (2) "2012 Israel Study Tour" that I have set up. One has myself as administrator (not my choosing - Facebook's) The other one has no Admin. This is the one I would like to delete. I added names on the members list but I thought that was wrong. As you should add your name not me. I deleted my name but could not delete you (if I added you). So if you delete you name from this group then the Facebook will delete the group. So if you are interested in being a part of the 2012 Israel Study Tour Facebook Group see you there Pilgrams (there is that John WAyne thing again. Blessings.

History: This message has been replied to and forwarded.

Greetings fellow Pilgrims, The good news is that I have checked out the requirements for visas and both the United States and Mexico along with many other countries are not required to have visas in either Israel or Jordan. If you are a citizen of another country and do not carry an American passport please let me know so I can check it out well before we travel. Tourists from some countries must obtain visas ahead of time, and I would rather not have any surprises.

Just for fun..... Here is a quiz to peek your interest. It starts easy and gets harder. 1. is a word. 2 is a sentence. 3 is a phrase. The last one is the hardest and I'll really be impressed if anyone figures it out. I'll be looking forward to hearing from those of you who wish to take the challenge. 1 Mwlv

2 Bwf rqwb

3 <yhwlah du hcwdq

Greetings fellow Pilgrims, If you ever wanted to learn Hebrew, the study tour is a great way to jump start your learning. You will see and hear it the whole time you are there. If you learn the letters now, you may really enjoy trying to read the signs and to understand some of the spoken language. I don't know about you, but whenever I visit another country I try to learn at least a few things in the language of that country. I'm going to give you a phrase learn now that you can use when we get to Israel, and I'll use our alphabet instead of the Hebrew aleph-bet If you want to say "How are you" you say: Ma shalom kha? if you are speaking to a man and: Ma shalom mekh? if you are speaking to a woman. Then they will answer: "Tov" which means good or fine. Another common expression is "Ma nish ma?" Which is more like"What's up?" or "What's happening". Now, a very important question to test you on. See if you can figure this one out, and I'll put it in Alphabet letters so you can read it. What does this mean? Eifo ha sherotim? Pronounced like: A Foe ha share oh teem.

P.S. the letters "kh" I used above in the transliteration is a guttural sound used in Hebrew similar to the "ck" sound but not quite. I have gotten a little feedback so far from my quiz that I sent out yesterday. I hope to get some more soon. God bless!

No, It's better than that! You get to be the first to choose which day and devotion you would like to present. Take a look at the itinerary and choose a place that your topic would be most appropriate for, and we'll allow you to present at that time and location. I'll be sending out some more on devotions later, so the rest of the group can also begin thinking about where they may like to present something. Congratulations Ian for a good job on knowing how to say "Where is the bathroom?" It is indeed an important question to know how to ask. Eifo ha sherotim? Shalom! God bless!

Date: Saturday, August 06, 2011 11:07 PM Subject: Aleph bet


I know you can all find the Hebrew Aleph Bet on your own, but just in case you don't get around to it I thought I would send you one. You can also go to Psalms 119 and find it. Sometimes the letters change form when they are on the end of a word. If you see two letters together such as "N" the second one is the one used for word endings. (Second going from right to left). Some letters look very similar, but you eventually begin to catch the slight differences. For example, R and D are sometimes difficult to distinguish. Don't worry.... I won't test you. I just enjoy the challenge of language learning, and if you have any interest, this is a terrific opportunity to learn some skills that may even help you in your study and ability to use study tools that include original language as part of the work. This may help you to attempt reading signs when you get to Israel. You have plenty of time between now and then to begin learning the Aleph Bet. Maybe you can put it on your ipod and learn while you walk. Don't forget to begin working your way up to a 3 mile walk. -- (Couch Potato to Israel 2012).

Date: Sunday, August 14, 2011 4:43 PM Subject: The Shopping with the Shekel


Greetings Pilgrims,

You will feel a little richer when you get to Israel and exchange dollars for shekels. At this moment the US Dollar will buy 3.565 shekels, but as you know the daily rate changes all the time. We’ll just have to wait and see what we get when we get there.

Below I have the English word and the Hebrew word together so you can see what it looks like in Hebrew. Most Hebrew words are based on three letter combinations so this is a good example. It will change depending upon how it is used in a sentence.

Shekel lqv (In case your computer does not display correctly this is Shin, Qof, Lamed - reading right to left)

Now I would like to ask some questions in case this is of interest to anyone.

1. Hebrew has both masculine and feminine gender words. Is “Shekel” masculine or feminine?

2. Shekel is what the currency for Israel is called. The shekel was originally a unit of weight in the same way that we use the “ounce”. What is the Hebrew word

of 69


for “money” and what does that word literally mean?

I hope a get a few people who would like to guess. I’ll just keep on doing things to keep you thinking about our coming adventure.

A new word for you......

If you want to ask... "How much is this?" In Hebrew you say: Cama ze? or Cama ze ole? It sounds like "Comma Zay Olay". Or you could just say "Cama?"

God bless! Jeff Martin, Major Education Secretary Ps 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever. NKJV

OK, You asked for it.... Or maybe you didn't ask for it, but since I didn't get enough responses I am instituting the Study Tour Draft. Below you can see a list of days for devotions, followed by a name. Those names in Salvation Army Navy Blue Volunteered and the rest of you were drafted! Knowing that you are ready to preach pray or pass away in a moments notice I took the liberty of choosing among all the delegates and choosing a day for your devotion. If you see your name below, then please refer to the previous email which I have included below this one so that you can find out what your possible topics can include. Please follow the guidelines there as well because we don't want anyone to have to run to a city of refuge for preaching too long. Those of you who were drafted may choose to draft someone to help you in singing, Scripture reading, pantomiming or juggling to enhance your devotions. If for some reason, you would rather not be involved in this way, we can either assign you to KP duty or extend grace and offer the spot to someone else. We have more delegates than days, so not everyone will be able to present a devotion and it is always better to have willing participants. You can reply to me with your response indicating your willingness or not for this assignment. If I end up with some opportunities after your replies then I will send out again for volunteers before re-instituting the draft. Please reply with your answer so I can complete the assignments.

Ps 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever. NKJV __________________ Our DAILY Devotion Schedule

Theme: Jesus was Here Think of all the places you have been where you have seen those annoying inscriptions where someone wrote their name and the words: “was here”. As we travel along to see the many places that we know Jesus may have also visited perhaps we can acknowledge His visit to that place and what He did, or something about the Old Testament history of the place. If you would like to present a devotion you may want to focus on an event in either testament. After choosing the day, then you can choose one of the locations for your subject. Don’t worry about telling us all the history… that’s what we are paying our guide to do. We just want a 5 minute devotion that will help us start or continue our day. Following is a list of where we will go. Please choose the day you would like to present a devotion. Choose from the places we’ll visit on that day a topic for your devotion. Then you can send me your title if you wish within a month from now. I’ll assign the devotions based on first come first served, followed by the draft. There are not enough days for all of us to present devotions but there will be readings that we will need everyone to be prepared for. Choose the date now… Send me the title later. The attached file repeats these instructions and gives you the places we will be each day. (See attached file: YOUR DAILY Devotion schedule.docx) For a reminder with more detail of the daily travels you may want to refer to this which some of you have already sent to your electronic reader.

Date: Thursday, September 15, 2011 2:21 PM Subject: Shopping in Israel for that special souvenir


Greetings Pilgrims

(This one is long, so if you don't have time, just hit "delete".)

Shopping in Israel

If you are like me, you have probably bought a bunch of souvenirs on a trip and later wondered why. There are tons of souvenir items to buy, but you might be better off thinking about your purchases now. Take a look at some websites that show pictures of souvenirs and other wares that are offered in Israel and think about what you really want as a special souvenir on this trip. It may be that you want something that is a work of art in gold, silver or olive wood for example. Try to narrow it down in your own mind and make sure you will have room in your suitcase. Decide how much you are prepared to spend on the item.

of 69


The next step may be a little uncomfortable, but with practice it can be fun as well.

Are you ready to Haggle? � 1 Approach any sale in Israel with a mindset to haggle. Sometimes people from Western environments assume that prices are fixed and whatever price a vendor mentions the first time is the rock bottom price. But this is not so. Israel, like most countries of the Middle East, depends on bargaining to do business, so approach almost any sales situation ready to negotiate.

� 2 Know what you want and how much you are willing to pay for it. Set yourself an ideal price and a price you find reasonable for the product you want. This way, you will know where to begin your price negotiation, and also where to end it. � 3 Ask the price before you tell your price. A vendor will be trying to gauge if you're a savvy shopper or a sucker, so begin by getting the vendor to quote the price. If it's much higher than your ideal price, just say no but don't walk away. Chances are the vendor will ask what price you were thinking or wanting which is your cue to stop to think for a few seconds and then quote your ideal price. � 4 Be persistent with what you want. If the vendor is negotiating in the area of your ideal or reasonable price then haggle until you reach an agreement. � 5 If the vendor will not approach your reasonable price, walk away. Be explicit about your actions by telling him that it's too much for you. Don't try to trick him by saying you saw a better price in another stand at the market because he probably knows all the local prices and bargains. Simply inform him that his price is too high, walk away and be sure to walk past the stall again after about fifteen or twenty minutes. Chances are he will call you back to offer a price closer to what you want. � 6 Remember it's just business. Keeping a cool head is the best way to haggle at a market in Israel, as in other places. So don't get angry or insulted but keep a friendly, business-like attitude toward the transaction in order to get the best bargain. You have your purchase, you have paid for it, and you have paid the tax. Don’t forget, that you may be able to get a refund on your taxes before you leave Israel. VAT Refund Purchases can be made in Israeli Shekels, U.S. dollars or Euros. Tourists who have purchased items with a value exceeding $100 (including VAT) in stores that are registered with the Ministry of Tourism or in stores participating in the VAT-refund plan are entitled to a refund of VAT when they leave the country. Stores that offer VAT refund service have a special sign. To receive VAT refund, ensure that you get a receipt with a list of all the items you have purchased and details of the purchaser. The receipt and purchases must be put into a sealed bag. Tourists must then go to the “Change Place” at Ben Gurion airport or other exit port. If you wish to send the items that you purchased with your luggage, you must declare the purchase at the security check, and present your passport, flight ticket, purchases and receipts at the counter. The attendant will open the bag, examine the contents, sign the receipt, and refund the VAT in any currency minus a commission. The

VAT refund can also be sent to your address abroad for an additional charge. There is no VAT refund for the following items: food, drinks, tobacco products, electrical appliances, cameras, film or other photography equipment. Additional information about VAT refunds is available on the "Change place Financial Services" website:http://www.cpl.co.il/English/index.asp or at 03-975-4020. View VAT refund form.

Additional things to remember.

Never insinuate that the vendor’s products are substandard in order to try and negotiate a better deal. If it were substandard you wouldn’t be interested.

Do not ask the guide in front of the vendor if that is a good deal. The guide has to develop good relations with many of the vendors they encounter. Let’s say you want to buy a silver Seder plate or a pottery Roman lamp. Ask the guide ahead of time where a good place is to buy that kind of item along our travels. The guide will point out a good place and may be able to give you some guidance on prices. Use the haggling guide above and have fun with the experience and enjoy your purchase.

Don’t forget to say “Todah” (Thank you) or if you know the vendor is Arabic, you might like to say…”Shokran” (Shook ran).

Shalom! God bless! Jeff Martin, Major Education Secretary Ps 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever. NKJV

Dear Fellow Pilgrims, If you are interested I have started a Facebook Group called The Salvation Army 2012 Study Tour of Israel. IT IS NOT the 2012 Israel Study Tour Group or the TSA 2012 Israel Study Tour Page. Both the "Is Not" 2012 Israel Study Tours were my first attempt at doing this. I started to add names to the 2012 Israel Study Tour group but I felt that was wrong to add names to this group. If your name is in this group you can delete it (I deleted my name by mistake, and

Our DAILY Devotion Schedule

Theme: Jesus was Here Think of all the places you have been where you have seen those annoying inscriptions where someone wrote their name and the words: “was here”. As we travel along to see the many places that we know Jesus may have also visited perhaps we can acknowledge His visit to that place and what He did, or something about the Old Testament history of the place. If you would like to present a devotion you may want to focus on an event in either testament. After choosing the day, then you can choose one of the locations for your subject. Don’t worry about telling us all the history… that’s what we are paying our guide to do. We just want a 5 minute devotion that will help us start or continue our day. Following is a list of where we will go. Please choose the day you would like to present a devotion. Choose from the places we’ll visit on that day a topic for your devotion. Then you can send me your title if you wish within a month from now. I’ll assign the devotions based on first come first served, followed by the draft. There are not enough days for all of us to present devotions but there will be readings that we will need everyone to be prepared for. Choose the date now… Send me the title later. The attached file repeats these instructions and gives you the places we will be each day.

Dear Pilgrims, I know this is what you have all been waiting for. A chance to learn some Hebrew before you get to Israel. There is no better time than now to begin. You will learn some words from the guide, but wouldn't it be nice to know a few of the words before you get there and surprise the guide with your expert enunciation of perfect Hebrew? OK, maybe not expert, but extremely good pronunciation..... OK, would you believe you could speak like a native? Er uh... a native toddler? Don't get hung up on perfection. Let's just learn some Hebrew. After all this is a study tour right?... so you may as well learn some things.... They don't call me the education secretary for nothin'. My goal is to help you find ways to learn things that will be helpful to you in your ministry. The more you learn now, the more you will be able to absorb when we get to Israel. I know this is not for everyone, so if you have no desire to learn Hebrew then just tell me...Todah rabah, aval ani lo rotzeh medabehr kitzat Ivrit.

Date: Thursday, August 25, 2011 3:22 PM Subject: Study tour 2012 - Some information about our travel arrangements


Greetings fellow Pilgrims, I have been in contact with our tour company and they have informed me that we will be flying on Continental Airlines. I don't have the exact times yet, but the flight will go from LAX to Newark, NJ and then from Newark to Tel-Aviv. The return flight will be from Tel-Aviv to Newark, and then Newark to LAX. I don't believe we change planes in Newark, but just pick up more passengers. For this reason, the tour company told me that there is not a possibility of making any other flight connections from Newark. When you leave Tel-Aviv you must continue to LAX. If you plan to do some other travel you will need to do so from Tel-Aviv. You will then return to Tel-Aviv to catch the same flight (on a different day) back to LAX. I hope that makes sense to you... It does make sense to me, but I may not have explained it well. As long as we are talking about travel, I have included an attachment below that I think you will enjoy. It is just something fun.

Date: Tuesday, August 16, 2011 9:40 PM Subject: What to bring on a study tour


Greetings fellow Pilgrims, It is a little tricky to know what to bring on a trip to another country. My first priority on something like this is to pack light. You will be living out of your suitcase for two weeks but getting it on and off the bus and wherever it is needed is a pain if it is too large or too heavy. Remember, you will probably want to spend a few shekels and buy some souvenirs and they are either bulky, heavy or both. If you have some old clothes that you were waiting for an excuse to part with... this may be a good excuse and at the same time free up some space for souvenirs. Just wear your old clothes first and leave them in hotel when you know you will no longer need them. Take a look at the attached file in case there are some things you will need to purchase or dig out of a storage box before we travel. (See attached file: what to bring on study tour to Israel.docx) I may have left something out, or you may have some great ideas to share with the group. If so please reply to all and let us all benefit from your wisdom. Are you getting excited yet?

Greetings fellow Pilgrims, For all of you who have a Kindle or other electronic reader, I am sending you a couple of files that you can email to your reader. I have a Kindle, so I'll give you some ideas of how to do this, but those of you who have other kinds of readers are on your own. Kindles have an email address associated with them, and only you can email to your Kindle. If you do not know your Kindle address, then open your Amazon account and click on "Your Kindle Account" then click on manage your devices and you should see your email. You can email to that from your lotus notes account. If you would rather just have these on your computer, or on paper that is also an option. You may wish to place the itinerary on your reader. Here is our itinerary again, for those who may not have been on the list earlier. (See attached file: My DAILY ITINERARY for Israel 2012.pdf) Here is the speech of Eleazar that took place in Masada. I thought you might enjoy it in modern English since Josephus is a little hard to understand. It is also ready for an electronic reader such as Kindle.

Greetings fellow Pilgrims Some of you have received this already, but I'm sending some things again because we now have a full tour, and the list at the bottom shows your fellow Pilgrims that will be coming on the tour. You'll be receiving message from me or from Hope Maxey from time to time. We'll be sharing information or asking for passport photo pages, or deposits and payments and other necessary things. Approvals are still in process. There is still a possibility that someone may have to cancel. I hope that doesn't happen, but if something comes up that necessitates that, please let me know as soon as you decide because there are a few on a waiting list. (See attached file: YOUR DAILY ITINERARY for Israel 2012.pdf) It is time now to begin preparing yourself mentally and spiritually for the tour. I know you have been doing this your entire career as you read God's Word, you may wish to read the Gospels, or some pertinent stories in the Old Testament that. The above itinerary will give you a few clues about possible passages to read. For instance, you may wish to read about Elijah on Mt. Carmel since that is on the list of places to see. Please pray for your fellow pilgrims as we all prepare for this great adventure. It will be great lift one another up in prayer as we all prepare ourselves.

I know that none of you are couch potatoes, but I found this website that helps to prepare someone to go from couch potato to running a 5-K race. I adapted the material to help all of us get ready physically for the walking and hiking that we will be doing on this trip. I hope you'll have fun preparing in this way. Maybe you can encourage one of your fellow pilgrims to do this with you whether they are near or far away. (See attached file: Couch Potato to Israel 2012.pdf) Finally, Here is the list of your fellow officer pilgrims. Some have already been approved, and barring anything unforeseen, this will probably be our tour group. We also have an Advisory Board member Dick Hagerty and his wife Theresa who are planning to come along with us as well. Some of you may know them, and if you wish to greet them Dick's email is shown above.

Greetings fellow Pilgrims. One of the things that I hope we will all be motivated to do this year is to prepare to make the most of our study tour. To help you do this, I put together something to get you moving. You may not be a couch potato, and you may have made some goals to help get you ready for the walking that we will all be doing in Israel. Attached you will find a simple guide for helping to prepare yourself mentally, and physically for the tour of a lifetime. I have named it "Couch Potato to Israel 2012" because I based it on a similar plan that is used to prepare a person to run a 5K even if they have never run before. We won't be running in Israel, but will be walking, and will do some stairs or small hills possibly. Use this plan if it is helpful or use your own plan. The important thing is to get moving, and with some headphones and Scripture on an iPod or other audio device, it can prepare you mentally as well. By the way, did you know that your Kindle can read out loud to you? You'll find the feature by pushing the button next to space bar with "Aa" on it. Add a free Bible from Amazon.com and you're good to go. Shalom!

Greetings fellow Pilgrims: Just a small disclaimer... Receiving this email does not imply final approval for this tour. However, barring anything unforeseen, this seems to be a pretty good start to our list of Pilgrims for Israel 2012. I have attached the list of your fellow pilgrims below so you can see who else has signed up. If you haven't completed your application I urge you to do so ASAP. To whet your appetite for our adventure, I have prepared an itinerary that you can email to your Kindle or Ipad. It is a PDF and it will appear on your device after you email it. If you have never emailed to your device, all you need to do is find the address for it, and then copy the attachment into an email and send. More information will be coming soon. It is possible there will be some changes to this schedule, but they should not be substantial. Enjoy!
