Members of a group that went on a touring trip to Israel with First Baptist Church Fernandina Beach is set to come back home to the States Saturday night after they crossed safely into Jordan amid the ongoing turmoil of the war between Israel and Hamas, according to Executive Pastor Dan Beck.
About 15 members of a group that went on a touring trip to Israel with First Baptist Church Fernandina Beach are set to come back home to the States Saturday night after they crossed safely into Jordan amid the ongoing turmoil of the war between Israel and Hamas, according to Executive Pastor Dan Beck.
In a post on social media, Pastor Terry said Thursday that as they’ve been able to get seats on flights, they’ve been sending members of the group home to the States. “We’re certainly in a much safer position than we were a couple of days ago,” Terry said. “We can’t wait to see you guys, give you big hugs and celebrate the fact God has answered all of our prayers. Keep praying, we’re not out yet.”Among those helping the group navigate their safe return is Rep. Aaron Bean, R-Fernandina Beach, who attends First Baptist Church Fernandina Beach.
“Even last night, we heard machine-gun fire within blocks of our hotel. And so there were some skirmishes,” Terry said on Tuesday. “But all in all, we’ve stayed safe.”
