The Footsteps of Jesus Pilgrimage scheduled for March 2-12, 2006 is in full gear and more than 40 passengers are joining the group of Delmar Travel & Land & Sky Travel. The pilgrimage will include visits to Jordan, Israel and Egypt and the group is excited to visit places in Jordan like Madaba and Mt. Nebo where Moses died; in Israel where we will trace the Footsteps of Jesus from the Annunciation of His birth to His death, resurrection and ascencion. From Israel we proceed to Mt. Sinai where Moses received the Ten Commandments from the Lord and then to Cairo in Egypt, where we visit the land of the pharaohs. It is our hope that our pilgrimage tours to these holy places will strengthen every pilgrim's faith, touch more lives and bring more people closer to our ever-loving God.
