Ramallah & the Dead Sea

Dear Friends, 
We spent today in Ramallah in the West Bank and on the Dead Sea. It was another intense but fruitful day. We offer to you the Scripture passage we carried with us for the day and reflected upon at evening's end, followed by several photographs of our journey.
~ Shan Overton


Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.
~ Lamentations 3.22-23
