SAN DIEGO — Vacation photos from a church trip to Israel fail to tell the story of the harrowing end of the journey as war broke out around them. That group from Grace Point Church is finally home in San Diego.
Kate Jolson flipped through the photos on her phone. She showed ABC 10News the various locations she was able to visit with her church tour group during their trip to Israel.About 40 people from Grace Point Church flew into Tel Aviv on Oct. 3."It was very much... 'What do we do next? How do we stay safe?' But everybody else at home... They are not knowing where we are, what we're doing... If we're staying in the hotel, if we're safe," Jolson says.
The main hurdle for getting home was finding flights, since they were being canceled across the region.
