Mount of Olives in Jerusalem
What an amazing, joyous and blessed day!
We attended the Baptist church service in Jerusalem and delighted the congregation by joyfully singing Jabulani. After the song the church had an influx of an American tourist group and we sang once more! The church was so full that some of us even had to sit on the floor. The sermon really spoke to our hearts and set such a wonderful tone for the events to follow.

Marching band to bring Glory to God
As we watched the masses streaming down from the top of the mountain we sang worship songs. I have never experienced such immense joy and jubilation before! It was most wonderful to praise and bring glory to His name. HOSANNA IN THE HIGHEST! There was such a magnitude of different cultures and nationalities and all came together for one reason, to glorify Jesus’ Name. One of the little jewels for the day was when 2 Korean ladies came past us and joined us in singing Blessed is the name of the Lord. Luke 19:37 the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices... Luke 19: 40 "if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out."
