“BLESSED ARE THE
PURE IN HEART, FOR THEY WILL SEE GOD.
BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS, FOR THEY WILL BE
CALLED THE CHILDREN OF GOD”
MATTHEW 5

| “Following in the
footsteps of Jesus we settled down on the Mount of
Beatitudes to listen – and to ponder His word.
I was filled with peace, joy and wonder as I
reflected that Jesus had stood on this very spot –
the beginning of an extraordinary and grace-filled
walk into the heart of God.” |

| "It was an
incredible experience to stand on the Mount of
Beatitudes overlooking the Sea of Galilee with my
family reading the words of the Sermon that Jesus
gave on that day. This experience will be with
me and my family from now on.
I told the Church family that I wish that I could
have taken all of them with us to see first hand the
places mentioned in the Bible. Until you have
visited the Holy Land in person, your perception of
this land is only a black and white view as you read
the Bible. But after you have walked where
Jesus walked and see the places he spoke of, it
makes reading the stories from His word in full
living color." |

| "My favorite part of
our family's trip to Israel was being able to visit
all the Biblical sites and hear again all the
stories I've heard all my life with the visual.
Now I can truly understand God's land." |

"The Mount of Beatitudes ended up being one
of my favorites because I felt such a
presence when I entered the Church of the
Beatitudes. It's hard to put into
words.
I now know that Jesus was with me." |
