Come join us for an extraordinary journey to the Land of the Bible. Visiting Israel is far more than a trip—it is an opportunity to see God’s Word come alive and to deepen your faith in ways that shape you long after you return home.
On this tour, we will stand in the very places where Jesus walked, sail the Sea of Galilee, open the Scriptures on the Mount of Beatitudes, explore the sites of the prophets, and walk the ancient streets of Jerusalem. Every day immerses you more deeply in the story of redemption written across this land.
But this particular journey carries a special purpose. In a moment when the Church is longing for clarity, courage, and a biblical understanding of the times, we will gather for three special evenings of teaching in the Galilee—the very region where Jesus carried out much of His earthly ministry. With the hills of the Galilee surrounding us, we will reflect on God’s unchanging truth, the hour we find ourselves in, and the hope that anchors our lives in Christ.
Throughout our time together, we’ll enjoy rich fellowship, heartfelt worship, and meaningful moments of prayer. To walk the land of the Bible and see Scripture unfold before your eyes is more powerful than words can describe. I truly believe this will be a spiritually significant journey for a time such as this.
Do not miss this opportunity to encounter the land, the Scriptures, and our present moment with renewed strength and expectation.
Shalom,
Pastors' Tom Hughes, Brandon Holthaus & Olivier Melnick

This 11-day itinerary has been prayerfully and intentionally designed to lead you through some of the most sacred, meaningful, and spiritually rich sites in the land of Israel. Throughout this journey, you will explore locations deeply rooted in Scripture—places where the prophets proclaimed, where the apostles walked, and where the ministry of Jesus Christ unfolded with world-changing power.
From the peaceful shores of the Sea of Galilee to the ancient pathways of Jerusalem, each day offers profound opportunities for discovery, reflection, and worship. You will sail the waters where Jesus calmed the storm, stand on the Mount of Beatitudes, walk the streets of the Old City, and experience the landscapes where the story of redemption was written into the earth itself.

For this unique and special event, we have chosen a hidden treasure in the northern Galilee: The Ayala Hotel. Nestled in the rolling hills of the Upper Galilee, this beautiful property is surrounded by some of the most serene and breathtaking landscapes in all of Israel. Only a short drive north of the Sea of Galilee, the location offers a rare blend of peaceful seclusion and easy access to the region where so much of Jesus’ ministry unfolded.
As part of the renowned Isrotel chain, Ayala reflects the brand’s signature commitment to comfort, quality, and thoughtful hospitality. Isrotel is celebrated throughout Israel for its elevated service standards, meticulous design, and ability to create warm, welcoming environments that feel both luxurious and deeply personal.
The hotel’s modern rooms, lush outdoor spaces, and inviting common areas provide a restful retreat after days filled with exploration. From its sweeping views of the surrounding hillsides to its high-quality amenities—beautiful dining areas, thoughtfully designed gathering spaces, and the gentle quiet of the Galilee—the Ayala Hotel offers an ideal setting for reflection, fellowship, and spiritual renewal.
This will be a truly memorable home base for our conference, creating the perfect environment for worship, teaching, and rich conversations. We are confident that your time at Ayala will not only deepen your experience of Israel, but will also become one of the highlights of your journey.
In the evenings of the Galilee, we will gather for a series of unforgettable meetings led by Pastor Tom Hughes, Pastor Brandon Holthaus, Olivier Melnick, and other special guests. These sessions will offer a meaningful opportunity to engage with Scripture during a season of cultural and ideological upheaval—a moment when many believers feel the need to reaffirm their core convictions and pay closer attention to how biblical truth speaks into our day.
This gathering has been shaped for a time such as this, as the Church faces increasing pressures: hostility toward Christians, fractures within the conservative movement, and the troubling rise of voices—even within the Church—promoting views of Israel and the Jewish people that contradict Scripture. In this atmosphere, many are sensing the need to return to first principles—to hold fast to what is true, cherish what God cherishes, and stand with confidence on the foundations of biblical conviction.
Participants will not only experience the beauty and richness of the land of Israel; they will also receive thoughtful, timely teaching that connects present-day events with the enduring Word of God. Meeting in the very places where so much of Scripture unfolded adds a depth and clarity that cannot easily be replicated.
This is more than a tour—it is an invitation to encounter the land, the Scriptures, and our cultural moment together, and to be strengthened in faith at a time when clarity and courage have never been more needed.
Ayala Hotel is where leisure meets comfort, nature meets beauty, and serenity meets impeccable service. Nestled in the heart of the Upper Galilee, it offers Isrotel's renowned hospitality to guests seeking peacefulness and relaxation in a premium setting at an idyllic location.
The hotel is named "Ayala" to honour its location in Kibbutz Ayelet HaShahar, which itself draws inspiration from Psalm 22:1: "For the conductor; upon the the dawn’s fleet deer. A song of David." The verse evokes the first rays of morning light, symbolising renewal, optimism, and connection to nature, perfectly expressing the hotel’s atmosphere.
Tranquil, pastoral surroundings envelope guests in peacefulness, whether wandering along the hotel paths or soaking in the Upper Galilee vistas.
