By Greg Laurie Have you ever been in a situation where the only way out was God? Maybe it was a report from a doctor who gave no real hope.

Tel Gezer On Sunday, the entire team from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and Liberty University traveled to Tel Gezer for a site tour and several hours of set up. Set up was much easier this summer due to the scope of the excavation work at Gezer.
