Earlier this year I had the amazing opportunity to travel to Israel for a 10-day trip throughout the country. I was invited by my friends at Socality to take part in a trip hosted by Israel Collective — an organization “dedicated to building vibrant relationships between American Christian leaders and the people of the Holy Land” (from their website).
In retrospect, one of the biggest blessings was that I hadn’t previously thought much about or really ever planned to visit Israel, thus I went in with no expectations of what I would experience. This lead me to be pleasantly surprised by EVERY aspect of our trip, and especially the people and culture we were able to experience while there.
