In 2004 Pastor Bryon was touring Israel when he had a life-defining moment by the pools of Bethesda. While his group was taking a break for lunch, they were joined by two other tour groups, one from Nigeria and another from South Korea. He was struck by the reality that people from around the world—people of radically differing backgrounds, cultures, languages, and experiences—were unified in one purpose: to seek out and experience Jesus Christ.
