Prepare to Be Inspired
We’re glad you are considering this tour. Our hope is that it is an experience of a lifetime.
Overview
Throughout the Bible, the land of Israel served as God’s testing ground of faith. It is here where personal and national existence were threatened, that Israel’s leaders and people were called upon to learn the true meaning of security and wellbeing while learning to trust in the Lord their God. A pilgrimage to Israel will make a profound impact on your life as you view God’s Word through a new set of geographical lenses. See the events of Biblical history unfold as you travel, walk, experience, see, and learn in the very areas that were significant to the foundation of faith we have today in Jesus Christ.
