Dear brothers and sisters at Clear Lake,

I miss you all and think about you and pray for you often.  Since my time here at Praise LCMS in Fort Wayne, I've reflected many times on the experience and wonderful blessings I enjoyed while with you during my 2 Field Work years.  Not only did Pastor Gaertner and the congregation help me tremendously in ministry, but I have such fond personal memories that I often find myself missing everyone to the point of something that resembles a little homesickness.  I've been especially reflecting on my time with you since I heard about Pastor Gaertner's retirement.  He has truly served the Lord well and has impacted many lives.  Praise God for him.  And the Lord be with all of you as you search for a new shepherd.

God willing I will be coming for a short visit sometime soon to catch up.  I only regret that I couldn't make it for Pastor Gaertner's party.  It would be good to see you again.  Also, another opportunity for us to reunite will be for you to join me on a trip to the Holy Land in 2011.  I'm working on putting together the trip now and would love for y'all to join me.  See below for more details (and would you be able to include this in your newsletter)? 

Blessings

J. Brown

Imagine reading the Bible and being able to picture first hand Mount Carmel, where Elijah defeated the prophets of Baal, or seeing the sunset over the Sea of Galilee, where Jesus walked on the water, or remembering back to when you stepped your own foot into the Jordan River, as you now read about your Lord’s own baptism in that very same spot.  How would you like to walk in the Garden of Gethsemane, peek your head inside the tomb that held your Savior, visit Cana, or even stand in the very place where the Dead Sea scrolls were found?  You can do all this and more!  Your dream can indeed become a reality. 

The possibility exists for you to join me July 9th - 18th, 2011 on a trip that will take you to a place in your faith that you never thought you’d ever go.  Yes, you can come to Israel. 

I pray that you will have the opportunity to join us on this trip to the Holy Land.  If you can go, there is no doubt in my mind that your life will be changed and your faith will be strengthened.  There is absolutely nothing like reading the Scriptures and being able to visualize from first hand experience the very places the Bible describes.

I am sending you the link to the website in case you could consider the trip for yourself.  However, I am also asking if you forward it to any family and friends in your contact list.  You never know who might be in the position to come with us and walk in the footsteps of the Christ.

Bless you in all that you do in Jesus' name
