Listen to Our Interview With the Author of “Son of Hamas”
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Monday, April 5, 2010
Here’s the radio interview we did with Mosab Hassan Yousef, author of Son of Hamas. He tells the amazing story of his life as of his life as a double agent for Israel and Hamas. You will also hear his similarly remarkable conversion story. What was it about Jesus’ message that first attracted him? His answer may surprise you. &nbs...
A Final Thanks
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Thursday, October 29, 2009
Here’s a picture of our Holy Land group taken on the Mount of Olives with the Temple Mount, the Dome of the Rock, and the city of Jerusalem in the background. Having traveled with fifteen people, I can testify that there are many advantages to a smaller group. We all got to know each other, we were able to visit more sites than some of those ...
Malcolm and Muhammed
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Wednesday, October 28, 2009
We took this picture about 27 hours ago, at 2 AM in the lobby of the Grand Court Hotel in Jerusalem. I wanted everyone to see Malcolm and Muhammed, the two men who worked together to give us such a memorable Holy Land tour. I mentioned a few days ago that Malcolm is a born teacher. On further reflection, I don’t know that I’ve ever met ...
Holy Land Pictures
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Tuesday, October 27, 2009
On Monday night we gathered in our hotel room and everyone gave us the disks with all the pictures from the trip. The result was enormous–over 5200 pictures taken by 8 people over 10 days equaling 11 gigs of space. I plan to cull out the duplicates and give each person a flash drive with the best pictures. Here are some favorites from our tri...
A Hectic, Surprising Day
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Sunday, October 25, 2009
We were reminded on Sunday morning of the tensions that lie just beneath the surface in the Middle East. We started the day by leaving the Western Wall in time for our appointment to enter the Rabbis Tunnel (also called the Western Wall Tunnel) that runs underneath the surface of Jerusalem and goes north along the Western Wall and finally exits int...

A Day Below Sea Level
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Saturday, October 24, 2009
A Holy Land tour always takes on a rhythm of its own. In the beginning and for several days, adrenaline keeps everyone running in overdrive. Eventually a combination of jet lag and sheer fatigue from the long days leads to a bit of a slowdown. This is entirely natural, and in large part is due to the fact that you are in a foreign land, seven or ei...
Malcolm Explains It All
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Wednesday, October 21, 2009
On Tuesday morning we set out on our first day of touring with only four hours of sleep. You forget, at least I do, how hectic a tour can be. Fun and exciting and enlightening but also very hectic. You start early every day and you never really stop.In the five times Marlene and I have been to Israel we have always been blessed with excellent guide...
Good Morning from Israel

I’m writing this note–hurriedly–from our room at the Dan Panorama Hotel in Ceasarea on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea in northern Israel. It’s bright and sunny and warm in Israel this morning. After a long layover in the Istanbul airport, and after sitting on the tarmac in Istanbul for an hour, we arrived in Tel Aviv ar...

William Blackstone and the 60th Birthday of Israel
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Friday, May 9, 2008
Yesterday marked the 60th anniversary of the founding of the modern nation of Israel, an event that seemed unlikely and even impossible a century ago. Yet well before 1948, and long before the two great world wars that dominated the 20th-century, and long before the current geopolitical crises in the Middle East, there was ...
Let’s Go to the Holy Land in 2009

Some of you will remember that Marlene and I led a very successful tour to Israel in January 2007.

Yesterday Marlene spent an hour ...
The Absent Are Safe Here

This weekend I listened to a podcast sermon by Haddon Robinson in which he told a story about Robertson McQuilkin, former president of Columbia International University. He put up a plaque in his living room that said, “The Absent Are Safe Here.” That meant that neither he nor his wife would speak unkindly about those not p ...

Ed Mcollum on the Resurrection
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Sunday, April 8, 2007
Here are some thoughts on the resurrection of Jesus by my mentor in the ministry, Ed McCollum. When I was a teenager, I used to listen to him preach at the First Baptist Church of Littleville, Alabama. He was the first Bible expositor I ever heard. I can still remember how he took at least five years to go through the book ...

Israel Trip—Day 9

It’s not that much fun waking up at 2 AM, especially at the end of a ten-day tour where you have have been going all day long, visiting one site after another. But getting up early is essential if you want to make it back to the US. When you fly from the US to Europe, you generally leave in the afternoon, flying into ...

On this final day of our tour, we started early and never really stopped. Abed wanted to make sure we saw absolutely everything possible before returning home.
