Imagine
walking in the footsteps of Moses, along the route of the Exodus. Thirty-five
hundred years ago God gave Moses a gift that changed the world.
Some of the most incredible miracles in history came from applying a
simple code, activating the power of the creative force
of God in
the world. During the course of our trip, and in the very
places Moses stood, we will learn, practice and implement the code
in our lives.
