To be able to dig in a national park, you have to go through a bit of red tape. An archeological dig of this nature might be like asking to climb on Mount Rushmore to obtain some rock samples.There is a board that officially votes on whether or not to permit dig permits to various groups in Israel. For a couple reasons this vote has been delayed not once, but twice. The vote, to determine the dig permit for our Qumran trip, is currently scheduled for February 26th.
Our trip is literally in the hands of this board. I am still praying about this trip and I will keep you updated!
