"Trekking From the Desert to the Land of Milk & Honey"

Israel’s journey from Egypt to the Promised Land was a labyrinth of obstacles, trials and triumphs. For forty years, the Israelites endured desert sands and venomous snakes, frigid nights and the scorching sun, blocked roads and unforeseen detours, and a major leadership transition. Faced with setbacks, defiant kings, hostile enemies, and their own wavering faith, the Israelites kept their eyes on the prize--the land of milk & honey. Through every challenge and divine intervention, their path became a spiritual training ground for men and women, young and old, and Israelites and foreigners in their midst. What lessons of faith can we learn from their odyssey? Come and trek with Israel from the wilderness to the Promised Land.
