West Orange Pastor Leads Group On Life-Changing Trip To Israel
"I realized that it's one thing to talk about places from the Bible, but to experience it – that has the power to change lives."
WEST ORANGE, NJ — A pastor in West Orange recently took a group of people on a life-changing international trip.
Last month, Pastor Terry A. and Sharon Smith of The Life Christian Church in West Orange led a group of more than 20 people on a 10-day trip to Israel. The group visited over a dozen sites from the Bible during their time there, from the Sea of Galilee to The Mount of Beatitudes.
Pastor Terry Smith said he always tries to connect his teaching on Sunday mornings to what could be going on in peoples' lives. As a result of this, he realized the impact that visiting the places he talks about on Sunday mornings could have on someone.
