Jess Wilmot flew over to Israel to be a bridesmaid in her friend’s wedding just as the attacks started. Here she reflects on what it was like to be in the Holy land surrounded by such pain.
I flew into Israel on October 1, with just a backpack and a pocketful of faith. I was invited to be a bridesmaid at my friend’s wedding and I was excited to celebrate the happy couple. Believing God had asked me to go, I booked my flights, booked onto a tour, led by my friends who were getting married, and was ready for an adventure! Little did I know quite what would unfold.
On October 7, while some of the wedding guests and I we were driving to Capernaum, we heard the news about the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel. Shocked and heart broken to hear such horrific news, we decided to respond by worshipping Jesus on a boat called “faith” on the Sea of Galilee, remembering how this was where Jesus walked on water and slept in a storm.
