This is the view from our temporary rental home. We will be here for about a month while we look for more permanent digs during our stay here in the Holy Land.

In other news, Sadie & Riley took a school assessment test yesterday. We will be hearing back (hopefully) today on that, with an eye to them starting school later this week.

Peace, y’all.

The trip, though long, was smooth and uneventful…if you disregard our one cat’s very vocal disdain for being in a cat carrier for the better part of a day. Below are some moments from our flight, arrival, and initial jaunt to the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in Jerusalem. The last two images are from the bell tower at the church.

Greetings! Welcome to Sappostolic, the personal blog of the Lohr Sapp Family and their four years of living, exploring, and accompanying in the Holy Land.

We are in the final stages of preparation – finalizing paperwork and travel plans, making hard choices on what (and what not) to pack, worrying about how our cats will handle international travel. As part of those preparations, we want to offer an online space where friends and family can get updates on our coming journey.

This site is currently a work in progress, and we have a lot on our To Do list as our departure date approaches. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make tweaks to the site, and look forward to sharing this remarkable experience with you all.

Peace.
