Testimony from one saint who went with me to the Holy Land in 2011

Dear Saint and Shepherd Pastor Nabil!

I read this and I just want to go back again!! Hopefully one day I will! It was such an amazing journey of faith and it will stay in my heart forever! When I close my eyes and meditate on the places we went and the things we saw and then I open my Bible and read the scriptures I am again there! Thank you for such a wonderful experience with you as our shepherd! I am also so grateful that I got to spend time with Jean, your beloved! She is such a woman of God! Billy and I were truly blessed to be part of the "Nour Tour Family"!

Love and Prayers! God Bless! BARB - Gma and Fellow "Footwasher" in Christ!

Nour Tour Comments

I did a bible study and women's presentation at church a few weeks ago and highlighted a few moments of our trip to Israel.  (The one theme of the study was glory...I used pastor's meditation when we were at the Shepherds Field and what that very night felt like with the angels singing Glory in the Highest and how they saw God Smile that night) ...The study was on "Living in Jesus."  It was truly filled with the Holy Spirit and God truly put the words in my mouth...I had 90 year olds with tears...The church said they never heard anything like it; don't know if that was good or bad but I have been asked to speak at other churches.  I truly felt the 12 around me because I thought of you all the time.  The trip truly made spiritual changes in all of us!  Thanks be to God!

A Letter from A Nour Tour Traveler

"...So thank you so much for being one of the greatest instruments of God's love...

My  mind and heart for some reason goes back to the Legacy Hotel. After a wonderful day of God's deeply illuminating Word; being read and sung (at the sights of Jesus' life), that hotel was like heaven. It seemed safe and welcoming. I could see the city from our balcony and reflect...

I could sleep so sweetly knowing I was in Jerusalem, the city Jesus wept over. I could wake in the morning knowing you were preparing to feed us again, the "manna" from heaven. I ate, to me heavenly food, laced with prayer and ate with my brothers and sister in Christ, (wonderful prepared food).

I sat on the patio and laughed with everyone. I know this trip has been truly a gift from my heavenly Father. I truly feel His love. His is a Rich, Generous, Gracious God. Constantly pursuing me with blessings...."

A word from others

The below comments were shared with me after finishing a week of being the key note speaker at Shoshone Base Camp in Idaho (Lutherhaven ministries Servant Adventures) July 6-11, 2008

Dear Pastor Nour,

I was attending Idaho Servant Adventures last week at Shoshone Base Camp, and heard you preach. In full honesty, I have to say that you are one of the best pastors I have ever heard. Your words were inspiring and you could relate scripture to our lives so that we understood perfectly what your point was.

I’m the girl with the green cast on her right arm. I do not yet know the outcome of that situation, as I go to see a hand surgeon about it on Monday.

Pastor Nour,
I want to thank you for coming to Shoshone base camp this past week, you have no idea how glad I was that you came. Since I have left and come home to Washington I have thought of a few questions to ask you.

I am baptized, redeemed, forgiven, blood bought and heaven bound

Just a quick note to let you know how much we appreciated your presentations of the Gospel this past week at Shoshone.  My boys and I really grew in our faith this week as God used you to speak to us. May God continue to bless your work as you serve the Master.

Pastor Nour,

You have no idea how much you enlightened me. You really changed my views on Jesus. I can’t wait to go home and share the good news. I was lost before I met you and going through some hard times and you affected me so greatly. I hope to see you again on this side of heaven. God Bless You,

Love your sister in Christ,

2007 Nour Tour - Testimonial Letter

Dear Pastor Nour:

How do I begin to thank you for for such a memory filled trip as we have just experienced with you? Words to that effect seem rather insignificant when compared to the volume of "Christ filled" time and information we all received.

I spoke with you early in the trip as to different reasons people accompany you on such a trip of a lifetime. Why we came? I know my original thoughts were of retracing the footsteps of Christ and in so doing learning the geography and history of the land. Through Raed, our Israeli guide; we certainly weren't disappointed there. However, through you, we received an insight into the Bible; I'm sure other tours miss completely. You made the Bible come alive, not only through prayers, devotions, and scripture readings, but also through your first hand knowledge of the country and the customs and idiocyncracies of the local people; and in so doing, lit the fire of the living Christ within us all. I come from this trip a better Christian, most certainly an enlightened and better educated one; and hopefully a better person.
Why I came? It doesn't matter. How I left.....that matters.

I wish you and your family the very best and send a special prayer for your sister.

Most sincerely,
Dave Wenzel
