Israel Is Re-Born In Orlando, Florida
Time travel may have once been only a dream, but that is no longer the case! When you step through the gates of The Holy Land Experience, you will be instantly transported to the streets of Ancient Jerusalem.
Your spirit will soar as you find yourself in a place of serene beauty, creating the sense that you are cloaked in the holy presence of God.
On the surface, you may feel as if you have stepped into Ancient Israel, but The Holy Land is also filled with modern conveniences to meet your every need. The staff members are more than just employees, they are people who truly have the heart to serve others. They really are living examples of love in action!
The Bible will come alive as you learn about everyday life in Jerusalem during the time of Christ and his disciples. I was completely mesmerized as the pages of the Bible came to life in a dazzling display of beauty and splendor.
The children of Israel experienced the "Shekinah Glory" of God. That is, the tangible, manifest presence of God. He appeared to them in a pillar of cloud by day, and smoke by night.
I felt that same sense of awe and wonder as I made my way through the streets of the Jerusalem that have been re-born in The Holy Land Experience.
Come, walk with me as we follow in the footsteps of Jesus...

Glori... aka Queen Esther
Glori is one of the many staff who serve as hosts to the visitors at The Holy Land. They serve the needs of guests with kindness, patience, and grace. Their love for God is revealed in their gracious service to others, as well the camaraderie that is shared with their fellow staff members.
Orange Guy asked me to tell you that he really enjoyed meeting Glori. He was keenly interested in the story of Queen Esther, and found himself wanting to know more about the life of the beautiful young orphan girl who became the Queen of Persia.

Crafting With Your Kids Can Teach Valuable Bible Lessons
- Build a House Craft
- I have many different projects at Squidoo, and crafting is one of my favorite! Playing in mud, paint, fabric, glitter and glue are some favorite activities for kids of ALL ages.
I guess I'm the biggest kid on the block, because I spend a lot of my time crafting! This project is a simple craft that will help give your kids a better idea of what everyday life was like in Ancient Israel. Pictures from The Holy Land Experience will give visual inspiration for building your own model of a Jerusalem family home.
All you need to create this project is a few simple materials, some sweat equity, and some quality crafting time with the kids.
Believe me, those babies will grow up much too soon, and you will treasure every moment you spend with them while they are young and tender hearted.
It's also good training time for future kings and priests... Now, go forth and build!
Grab The Kids & Build Your Own Jerusalem Style Home
The Jerusalem Model Will Provide Inspiration For Building Models of Your Own
It's another great tool for anyone who teaches Bible stories for kids...
