Journey from the MidWest to the MidEast ...

The Indianapolis-based International Interfaith Initiative (III), in collaboration with the Village Experience, led a trip of a diverse group (including representatives from Jewish, Muslim, Catholic, Evangelical, and Hindu religious communities) to the Middle East from December 27, 2009 to January 9, 2010. It was a follow-up to the very successful III Mideast trip of 2008. Read about the adventure on this blog. Look for partnership opportunities for your group at www.internationalinterfaith.org ... and be part of the next trip from Indy to the MidEast.

From the 2008 Trip: Boys will be boys!




Today we spent the day traveling through Mt.Nebo, The Baptism Site, and the Dead Sea. We were able to see where Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist and do a little baptizing of our own! Everyone took full advantage of getting into the water hoping to be refreshed, only to find out the water was pretty hot itself. We did get to float and throw mud all over ourselves though. First and Second Matt put down their video games just long enough to coat themselves with the mineral rich mud and then jump in the pool. It was a scorching day, but well worth the history we encountered by traveling through this amazing countryside...
