"There is something absolutely magical about Israel. I've never felt such a sense of spirituality or connection to God… something I've been missing for a few years now. "Spirituality is so important to me… to be baptised in the Jordan river - the same place Jesus was baptised - I've never felt more renewed in my life," Lovato said.

I am an American singer. I was raised Christian and have Jewish ancestors. When I was offered an amazing opportunity to visit the places I’d read about in the Bible growing up, I said yes. There is something absolutely magical about Israel. I’ve never felt such a sense of spirituality or connection to God…something I’ve been missing for a few years now. Spirituality is so important to me…to be baptized in the Jordan river – the same place Jesus was baptized – I’ve never felt more renewed in my life. This trip has been so important for my well-being, my heart, and my soul. I’m grateful for the memories made and the opportunity to be able to fill the God-sized hole in my heart. Thank you for having me, Israel 💗
