Bombing Nearly Derails Holy Land Tour
CHICAGO, IL (December 2, 2005) - A tour of the Holy Land led by retired
Covenant Pastor Chuck Anderson was nearly detoured due to the November 8
suicide bombing in Amman, Jordan.
Anderson was leading his 27th trip to the region, and the group was
scheduled to cross the King Hussein Bridge into Jordan from Israel on
November 10. "We weren't sure if the trip would proceed into Jordan, but
other tour buses entered Jordan the day after the bombings and reported
that all was safe," he says.
Several Covenanters from across the country traveled with the 18-member
group: Win Dean, Diane Penn, Mark Disosway, Charlene Panzegrau, Brian
Kyle, and George Kimball. The group left Chicago on November 7 and
returned November 20.
Covenant pastor Brian Kyle says that despite the tensions of the area,
he was glad to have made the trip. "I will never read my Bible the same
way again."
