Subject: CONTINENTAL MileagePlus Program— the world’s most rewarding loyalty program. –
Continental OnePass


Greetings Pilgrims,

Something to think about and take care of before we travel is Airline Miles.

Do you have a mileage plan already? If so, please check to see if they are partners with
Continental or United. Then be sure to have your mileage number ready and with you so when
we check in at the airport you can get credit for your travel.

If your mileage plan does not include Continental, then it might be a good idea to go ahead and
register for this one since you will get a whole bunch of miles on this trip. It is all up to you. We
can't do it for you, but I have included this helpful page to remind you to get this task out of the
way. You can go to the United Airlines website at United.com and take care of it there.

MileagePlus® — The world’s most rewarding loyalty program.


of 69

MileagePlus will be the loyalty program for the new United. We look forward to welcoming you into MileagePlus
and will continue to work hard to build the world's leading rewards program.
OnePass® members will be automatically enrolled in MileagePlus when OnePass
ends.
OnePass members will be automatically enrolled in the MileagePlus program. You don't need to do anything.
Rest assured that all of your reward miles, Elite Qualifying Miles and Elite Qualifying Points in OnePass and
MileagePlus will be secure as we transition to a single program in the first quarter of 2012.
In 2012, your flights on Continental and United will earn reward miles, Elite Qualifying Miles and Elite Qualifying
Segments in MileagePlus. You will receive your 2012 Elite status based on your OnePass (and any
MileagePlus) Elite Qualifying Miles and Elite Qualifying Points in 2011.
The OnePass program will formally end on Dec. 31, 2011, followed by a wind-down period during the first
quarter of 2012. During the wind-down period, your OnePass reward miles will remain available for redemption.
Following the wind-down period, we will replace your OnePass reward miles with an equivalent grant of
MileagePlus reward miles. We will also replace your OnePass Elite Qualifying Miles and Elite Qualifying Points
with an equivalent grant of MileagePlus Elite Qualifying Miles and Elite Qualifying Segments.
We will update you further on specific transition plans in the coming months.
More details about the 2012 MileagePlus program.
In the coming months, we will share complete details about the 2012 MileagePlus program, including Elite
levels, qualifications and benefits; lifetime benefits; and other program developments, so stay tuned. You can
also get updates at onepassmergerupdates.com.
In MileagePlus, you will enjoy the benefits of membership in the world's most rewarding loyalty program. With
our wide array of travel, credit card and retail partners, no other airline program gives you better opportunities to
quickly earn miles for travel, as well as the things you do every day. No other rewards program provides you
®
access to United's exclusive world-class travel services, like Economy Plus extra legroom seating and Premier
Access airport services. And now that United has the leading global network, no other airline offers more
destinations for reward travel.
It's no wonder that in 2010 MileagePlus was voted Best Frequent Flyer Program by Global Traveler magazine
for the seventh year in a row. And that in 2011 we won the Frequent Traveler award for best airline Elite
program for the second year in a row.
Learn more about MileagePlus
Credit Card benefits will continue.
If you are a Continental Airlines Cardmember, you can still use your Credit Card as usual — there is nothing
you need to do differently. You can continue to use your Card in 2012 to earn miles in your MileagePlus account.
If you don't have a Continental Airlines Credit Card, now is a good time to get one. An expanded route network
means you'll enjoy more choices than ever for reward travel around the world. With a Continental Airlines Credit
Card, you earn miles for your everyday spending and will see your miles balance will grow. You can continue to
use your Card in 2012 to earn miles in your MileagePlus account.
Learn more about Continental Airlines Credit Cards
Continental Airlines' participation in the American Express® Membership
Rewards® program is ending.
®
If you have Membership Rewards points, you can transfer them into your OnePass account through Sept. 30,


of 69

®
2011. The opportunity to transfer Membership Rewards points for reward travel on Continental will no longer
be an option after that date. When OnePass ends, we will give you MileagePlus award miles equal to your
®
OnePass reward miles balance, including your Membership Rewards transfers.
Transfer now
United and MileagePlus bring you great travel opportunities.
With United and MileagePlus, you can enjoy the benefits of the world's most rewarding loyalty program.

More worldwide destinations

 You can now travel to more than 370 destinations on United's unparalleled global network. That's
100 more than before.
 The addition of United's domestic hub airports in Chicago, Denver, Washington, D.C., San
Francisco and Los Angeles means you can now fly to more than 220 destinations in the United
States.
 From San Francisco, United's main transpacific gateway, you can choose from more than 250 daily
departures to destinations including Asia and Australia.

More comfort

 Enjoy access to Economy Plus seating on United, with up to five extra inches of legroom so you
can stretch out and relax on your trip. It's complimentary for Elite members and available for
purchase for all other members. And we will begin expanding Economy Plus to the Continental
fleet in 2012.
 With Premier Access, first- and business-class travelers and MileagePlus elite members enjoy
priority check-in, security, boarding, and baggage handling, to streamline travel through the airport.

Special privileges
MileagePlus Elite members receive special privileges like Unlimited Domestic Upgrades, Systemwide
Upgrades, and class-of-service and Elite bonus miles. These benefits make travel more comfortable and
rewarding for our most valuable frequent travelers.

Greetings Pilgrims,

One of the highlights for many while visiting the Holy Land is the Garden Tomb. While it cannot
be proven that it is the tomb of Jesus it is still a very moving experience to spend time there. I
thought some of you may like to read the article about the burial of Jesus that can be
downloaded for free by following this link and then accepting a free on-line subscription to Biblical
Archaeology.

If this interests you enjoy! If not you can just delete it.

Greetings Pilgrims,

We are making progress and all but two couples on this list have registered on TED. If you are
one of the couples that did not, then make sure to get it started. Don't worry that your
application did not show up if you have already registered. There is no need to follow-up and
have me check on it for you. I'll follow-up in a couple of weeks if there are still any who have not
registered and send a personal note.

I'll be sending things out from time to time to keep you thinking about our pilgrimage.

One more reminder about passports. Please double check your expiration date to ensure that it
does not expire less than six months beyond the end of our tour. You don't want to get stranded
in Jordan!

Here is our list of pilgrims. Whenever there are any changes to it, I'll be sure and update you.
You will receive information from either me or Hope Maxey as we go along.

Shalom!

Greetings fellow Pilgrims,

I am so pleased to announce that as of today all who have indicated so far that they wish to go
have registered on the TED site. Great job! We still have room for four more delegates, and I
hope they will begin to get registered soon. For those of you who have registered, you have
accomplished this first hurdle. If you are on this list then you have registered.

If you have a passport that's good because you will need it.

When you get a chance, please scan your passport opened to the photo page and send
the pdf of the scan to Hope Maxey.

If you don't have a passport please work on that ASAP then send in your scan as well.

Don't forget to double check the expiration date on your passport! This is very important. I don't
want to see you left behind either here or over there due to this kind of problem. Remember it
must not expire within six months beyond the time we return to America.

I sound like John Wayne (NOT).

I just want let you know that I am very excited about going to the 2012 Israel Study Tour with
you ALL. I had planned on going in 2012 two (2) years ago. What a great team. (and I have been
told we have a very good leader. Praise God.

If you are interested I have started a Facebook Group "2012 Israel Study Tour". I know everyone
is not on Facebook and that is OK.(I think you can still receive any information etc. not sure
though).

There are two (2) "2012 Israel Study Tour" that I have set up.

One has myself as administrator (not my choosing - Facebook's)

The other one has no Admin. This is the one I would like to delete. I added names on the
members list but I thought that was wrong. As you should add your name not me. I deleted my
name but could not delete you (if I added you). So if you delete you name from this group then
the Facebook will delete the group.

So if you are interested in being a part of the 2012 Israel Study Tour Facebook Group see you
there Pilgrams (there is that John WAyne thing again.

Blessings.

Thank you for your work on this. I'm not very good at using facebook, but I think there are some
good things that we could do on this site leading up to the tour, and even after as people post

History: This message has been replied to and forwarded.


The good news is that I have checked out the requirements for visas and both the United States
and Mexico along with many other countries are not required to have visas in either Israel or
Jordan. If you are a citizen of another country and do not carry an American passport please let
me know so I can check it out well before we travel. Tourists from some countries must obtain
visas ahead of time, and I would rather not have any surprises.

I don't need to hear from everyone, but if you have a passport that is not issued by either the
U.S. or Mexico please let me know.

As long as I'm talking about passports...... Please double check your expiration
date. Remember it has to have at least 6 months remaining on it beyond the time that you
return to the U.S. +++++ Also, please send in your passport photo page pdf or fax as soon as
you are able.

God bless!

Subject: Study tour - time to learn some Hebrew



If you ever wanted to learn Hebrew, the study tour is a great way to jump start your learning.
You will see and hear it the whole time you are there. If you learn the letters now, you may really
enjoy trying to read the signs and to understand some of the spoken language.

I don't know about you, but whenever I visit another country I try to learn at least a few things
in the language of that country.

I'm going to give you a phrase learn now that you can use when we get to Israel, and I'll use our
alphabet instead of the Hebrew aleph-bet

If you want to say "How are you" you say: Ma shalom kha? if you are speaking to a man
and: Ma shalom mekh? if you are speaking to a woman.

Then they will answer: "Tov" which means good or fine.

Another common expression is "Ma nish ma?" Which is more like"What's up?" or "What's
happening".

Now, a very important question to test you on. See if you can figure this one out, and I'll put it in
Alphabet letters so you can read it. What does this mean? Eifo ha sherotim? Pronounced like:
A Foe ha share oh teem.


of 69

P.S. the letters "kh" I used above in the transliteration is a guttural sound used in Hebrew similar
to the "ck" sound but not quite.

I have gotten a little feedback so far from my quiz that I sent out yesterday. I hope to get some
more soon.

God bless!

Subject: Study tour - time to learn some Hebrew


If you ever wanted to learn Hebrew, the study tour is a great way to jump start your learning.
You will see and hear it the whole time you are there. If you learn the letters now, you may really
enjoy trying to read the signs and to understand some of the spoken language.

I don't know about you, but whenever I visit another country I try to learn at least a few things
in the language of that country.

I'm going to give you a phrase learn now that you can use when we get to Israel, and I'll use our
alphabet instead of the Hebrew aleph-bet


of 69

If you want to say "How are you" you say: Ma shalom kha? if you are speaking to a man
and: Ma shalom mekh? if you are speaking to a woman.

Then they will answer: "Tov" which means good or fine.

Another common expression is "Ma nish ma?" Which is more like"What's up?" or "What's
happening".

Now, a very important question to test you on. See if you can figure this one out, and I'll put it in
Alphabet letters so you can read it. What does this mean? Eifo ha sherotim? Pronounced like:
A Foe ha share oh teem.

P.S. the letters "kh" I used above in the transliteration is a guttural sound used in Hebrew similar
to the "ck" sound but not quite.

I have gotten a little feedback so far from my quiz that I sent out yesterday. I hope to get some
more soon.

God bless!

No, It's better than that! You get to be the first to choose which day and devotion you would like
to present.

Take a look at the itinerary and choose a place that your topic would be most appropriate for,
and we'll allow you to present at that time and location.

I'll be sending out some more on devotions later, so the rest of the group can also begin thinking
about where they may like to present something.

Congratulations Ian for a good job on knowing how to say "Where is the
bathroom?" It is indeed an important question to know how to ask.

Eifo ha sherotim?

Shalom!

God bless!

Subject: Aleph bet


I know you can all find the Hebrew Aleph Bet on your own, but just in case you don't get around
to it I thought I would send you one. You can also go to Psalms 119 and find it. Sometimes the
letters change form when they are on the end of a word. If you see two letters together such
as "N" the second one is the one used for word endings. (Second going from right to left).

Some letters look very similar, but you eventually begin to catch the slight differences. For
example, R and D are sometimes difficult to distinguish.

Don't worry.... I won't test you. I just enjoy the challenge of language learning, and if you have
any interest, this is a terrific opportunity to learn some skills that may even help you in your
study and ability to use study tools that include original language as part of the work.

This may help you to attempt reading signs when you get to Israel. You have plenty of time
between now and then to begin learning the Aleph Bet. Maybe you can put it on your ipod and
learn while you walk. Don't forget to begin working your way up to a 3 mile walk. -- (Couch
Potato to Israel 2012).

Subject: The Shopping with the Shekel


Greetings Pilgrims,

You will feel a little richer when you get to Israel and exchange dollars for shekels. At this
moment the US Dollar will buy 3.565 shekels, but as you know the daily rate changes all the
time. We’ll just have to wait and see what we get when we get there.

Below I have the English word and the Hebrew word together so you can see what it looks
like in Hebrew. Most Hebrew words are based on three letter combinations so this is a good
example. It will change depending upon how it is used in a sentence.

Shekel lqv (In case your computer does not display correctly this is Shin, Qof, Lamed -
reading right to left)

Now I would like to ask some questions in case this is of interest to anyone.

1. Hebrew has both masculine and feminine gender words. Is “Shekel”
masculine or feminine?

2. Shekel is what the currency for Israel is called. The shekel was originally a unit
of weight in the same way that we use the “ounce”. What is the Hebrew word


of 69

for “money” and what does that word literally mean?

I hope a get a few people who would like to guess. I’ll just keep on doing things to keep you
thinking about our coming adventure.

A new word for you......

If you want to ask... "How much is this?" In Hebrew you say: Cama ze? or Cama ze ole? It
sounds like "Comma Zay Olay". Or you could just say "Cama?"

God bless!

Subject: Head check


No,... not that kind of head check. This isn't summer camp!

Every now and then we lose somebody along the tour because they forget to keep track of time
and the bus has to wait.
I just revised my email list with all your names and I don't want to lose you!

Just for the fun of it, I would like to count heads and see if you are all receiving my emails. I
have only heard sparse responses here and there and I'm beginning to feel like I'm on the bus all
alone. That is so scary!

If you receive this note, please just reply to me..... NOT to all. And say.... "I'm

Subject: Study tour Daily Devotional The Draft!


OK, You asked for it.... Or maybe you didn't ask for it, but since I didn't get enough responses I
am instituting the Study Tour Draft.

Below you can see a list of days for devotions, followed by a name. Those names in Salvation
Army Navy Blue Volunteered and the rest of you were drafted!

Knowing that you are ready to preach pray or pass away in a moments notice I took the liberty of
choosing among all the delegates and choosing a day for your devotion. If you see your name
below, then please refer to the previous email which I have included below this one so that you
can find out what your possible topics can include. Please follow the guidelines there as well
because we don't want anyone to have to run to a city of refuge for preaching too long.

Those of you who were drafted may choose to draft someone to help you in singing, Scripture
reading, pantomiming or juggling to enhance your devotions.

If for some reason, you would rather not be involved in this way, we can either assign you to KP
duty or extend grace and offer the spot to someone else. We have more delegates than days, so
not everyone will be able to present a devotion and it is always better to have willing participants.

You can reply to me with your response indicating your willingness or not for this assignment. If
I end up with some opportunities after your replies then I will send out again for volunteers
before re-instituting the draft.

Please reply with your answer so I can complete the assignments.

Our DAILY Devotion Schedule

Theme: Jesus was Here
Think of all the places you have been where you have seen those annoying inscriptions where
someone wrote their name and the words: “was here”. As we travel along to see the many places that
we know Jesus may have also visited perhaps we can acknowledge His visit to that place and what He
did, or something about the Old Testament history of the place. If you would like to present a devotion
you may want to focus on an event in either testament. After choosing the day, then you can choose
one of the locations for your subject. Don’t worry about telling us all the history… that’s what we are
paying our guide to do. We just want a 5 minute devotion that will help us start or continue our day.

Following is a list of where we will go. Please choose the day you would like to present a devotion.
Choose from the places we’ll visit on that day a topic for your devotion. Then you can send me your
title if you wish within a month from now. I’ll assign the devotions based on first come first served,
followed by the draft. There are not enough days for all of us to present devotions but there will be
readings that we will need everyone to be prepared for. Choose the date now… Send me the title later.

The attached file repeats these instructions and gives you the places we will be each day.

Subject: Shopping in Israel for that special souvenir


Greetings Pilgrims

(This one is long, so if you don't have time, just hit "delete".)

Shopping in Israel

If you are like me, you have probably bought a bunch of souvenirs on a trip and later wondered why.
There are tons of souvenir items to buy, but you might be better off thinking about your purchases
now. Take a look at some websites that show pictures of souvenirs and other wares that are offered in
Israel and think about what you really want as a special souvenir on this trip. It may be that you want
something that is a work of art in gold, silver or olive wood for example. Try to narrow it down in
your own mind and make sure you will have room in your suitcase. Decide how much you are
prepared to spend on the item.


of 69

The next step may be a little uncomfortable, but with practice it can be fun as well.

Are you ready to Haggle?

1 Approach any sale in Israel with a mindset to haggle. Sometimes people from Western
environments assume that prices are fixed and whatever price a vendor mentions the first time is the
rock bottom price. But this is not so. Israel, like most countries of the Middle East, depends on
bargaining to do business, so approach almost any sales situation ready to negotiate.

2 Know what you want and how much you are willing to pay for it. Set yourself an ideal price and a
price you find reasonable for the product you want. This way, you will know where to begin your
price negotiation, and also where to end it.

3 Ask the price before you tell your price. A vendor will be trying to gauge if you're a savvy
shopper or a sucker, so begin by getting the vendor to quote the price. If it's much higher than your
ideal price, just say no but don't walk away. Chances are the vendor will ask what price you were
thinking or wanting which is your cue to stop to think for a few seconds and then quote your ideal
price.

4 Be persistent with what you want. If the vendor is negotiating in the area of your ideal or
reasonable price then haggle until you reach an agreement.

5 If the vendor will not approach your reasonable price, walk away. Be explicit about your actions
by telling him that it's too much for you. Don't try to trick him by saying you saw a better price in
another stand at the market because he probably knows all the local prices and bargains. Simply
inform him that his price is too high, walk away and be sure to walk past the stall again after about
fifteen or twenty minutes. Chances are he will call you back to offer a price closer to what you want.

6 Remember it's just business. Keeping a cool head is the best way to haggle at a market in Israel, as
in other places. So don't get angry or insulted but keep a friendly, business-like attitude toward the
transaction in order to get the best bargain.

You have your purchase, you have paid for it, and you have paid the tax. Don’t forget, that you
may be able to get a refund on your taxes before you leave Israel.

VAT Refund

Purchases can be made in Israeli Shekels, U.S. dollars or Euros. Tourists who have purchased items
with a value exceeding $100 (including VAT) in stores that are registered with the Ministry of
Tourism or in stores participating in the VAT-refund plan are entitled to a refund of VAT when they
leave the country. Stores that offer VAT refund service have a special sign.

To receive VAT refund, ensure that you get a receipt with a list of all the items you have purchased
and details of the purchaser. The receipt and purchases must be put into a sealed bag. Tourists must
then go to the “Change Place” at Ben Gurion airport or other exit port. If you wish to send the items
that you purchased with your luggage, you must declare the purchase at the security check, and present
your passport, flight ticket, purchases and receipts at the counter. The attendant will open the bag,
examine the contents, sign the receipt, and refund the VAT in any currency minus a commission. The


of 69

VAT refund can also be sent to your address abroad for an additional charge.

There is no VAT refund for the following items: food, drinks, tobacco products, electrical appliances,
cameras, film or other photography equipment.

Additional information about VAT refunds is available on the "Change place Financial Services"
website:http://www.cpl.co.il/English/index.asp or at 03-975-4020.

View VAT refund form.

Additional things to remember.

Never insinuate that the vendor’s products are substandard in order to try and negotiate a better deal. If
it were substandard you wouldn’t be interested.

Do not ask the guide in front of the vendor if that is a good deal. The guide has to develop good
relations with many of the vendors they encounter. Let’s say you want to buy a silver Seder plate or a
pottery Roman lamp. Ask the guide ahead of time where a good place is to buy that kind of item along
our travels. The guide will point out a good place and may be able to give you some guidance on
prices. Use the haggling guide above and have fun with the experience and enjoy your purchase.

Don’t forget to say “Todah” (Thank you) or if you know the vendor is Arabic, you might like to
say…”Shokran” (Shook ran).

Shalom!

God bless!

Education Secretary

IT IS NOT the 2012 Israel Study Tour Group or the TSA 2012 Israel Study Tour Page.

Both the "Is Not" 2012 Israel Study Tours were my first attempt at doing this. I started to add

since I was admin I can not delete your name. (there is no name on the PAGE).

Jeff I had to add a member to "The Salvation Army . . . group. I hope you do not mind but I

You may not be on Facebook and that is your choice. This Group is just if you are interested
in keeping in touch on one location.

Maybe after our fantastic trip we could post pictures or comments etc.

I hope the above makes sense. If not Email me.

Subject: Will you take the challenge?


Dear Pilgrims,

I know this is what you have all been waiting for. A chance to learn some Hebrew before you get
to Israel.

There is no better time than now to begin. You will learn some words from the guide, but
wouldn't it be nice to know a few of the words before you get there and surprise the guide with
your expert enunciation of perfect Hebrew? OK, maybe not expert, but extremely good
pronunciation..... OK, would you believe you could speak like a native? Er uh... a native toddler?

Don't get hung up on perfection. Let's just learn some Hebrew. After all this is a study tour
right?... so you may as well learn some things.... They don't call me the education secretary for
nothin'. My goal is to help you find ways to learn things that will be helpful to you in your
ministry.

The more you learn now, the more you will be able to absorb when we get to Israel. I know this
is not for everyone, so if you have no desire to learn Hebrew then just tell me...Todah rabah,
aval ani lo rotzeh medabehr kitzat Ivrit.

If you want to learn some Hebrew.....

as you read some of the Scriptures in advance that pertain to some of the places we will visit.

I am attaching it for your use and enjoyment. You can print it out, front to back if possible, fold it
and make a little booklet that can fit right in your Bible to be used for the next few months.

Subject: Study tour 2012 - Some information about our travel arrangements



I have been in contact with our tour company and they have informed me that we will be flying
on Continental Airlines. I don't have the exact times yet, but the flight will go from LAX to
Newark, NJ and then from Newark to Tel-Aviv. The return flight will be from Tel-Aviv to Newark,
and then Newark to LAX.

I don't believe we change planes in Newark, but just pick up more passengers. For this reason,
the tour company told me that there is not a possibility of making any other flight connections
from Newark. When you leave Tel-Aviv you must continue to LAX.

If you plan to do some other travel you will need to do so from Tel-Aviv. You will then return to
Tel-Aviv to catch the same flight (on a different day) back to LAX.

I hope that makes sense to you... It does make sense to me, but I may not have explained it
well.

As long as we are talking about travel, I have included an attachment below that I think you will
enjoy. It is just something fun.
