The final members of a group touring Israel with First Baptist Church Fernandina Beach arrived home safely Sunday night after being stuck in the Middle East amid the ongoing turmoil of the war between Israel and Hamas.
About 25 members of the group made it back to Jacksonville International Airport on two planes Sunday night -- one coming from Charlotte and the other from New York.
“What happened moved so fast there at the Gaza border and then when we were in Jerusalem we would hear the gunfire,” Terry said. “That was cool to see all the cultures work together,” he said. “We couldn’t speak each other’s language, but we’re trying to be kind to each other and help each other get to safety.”
‘We can’t wait to see you guys’: Fernandina Beach church group begins heading home after making it out of Israel “This is my pastor from the First Baptist Church. So we’ve got tons of friends, and we’ve actually got staff members who have family members on that trip, so bringing them home safe is our No. 1 responsibility,” Bean told News4JAX last Monday.
