Welcome to our blog!
Welcome to the blog for the 2010 Lutheran Educator Holy Land Tour and International Education Conference. Your questions and comments are welcome! Please also feel free to e-mail Adrienne or Jon with specific questions.
So much post- Christmas activity, I finally got to this. Very complete - thanks for getting all of this up. Now I'll start working my way through all of it and will add questions and comments. Thanks, Jon and Adrienne for organizing this. (Adrienne - I'm watching the Aussie Open - day 7 - as I read this. I want to watch Federer and Hewitt, but that's 3 am on the east coast. We'll see)
We are getting a very good response from our Australian colleagues and the numbers are growing from the USA. So far, over 40 total participants are confirmed. If you haven't already sent in a registration form, don't wait too long!
The count for confirmed registrants is now 48, including educators from Australia, USA, Hong Kong and Shanghai! If you have an interest in joining us, please reply soon, as space is limited.
For everyone else .... there is no need to go through Shanghai. Rick is attending another conference before ours! FYI .... we now have a second vehicle available that will accomodate 20 mnore passengers. Pass the word that we have some spaces left!

+++ We dedicate this conference and tour to our friend and colleague Adrienne Jericho, who was called to his eternal home in late August. His own example of hope, vision, and leadership will be an inspiration to us during the course of these two weeks and beyond. +++
