About your trip

Are you ready to walk where Jesus walked and to see the Holy Land with your own eyes? You don’t want to miss this incredible opportunity to enjoy this amazing tour across Israel. 

For ten unforgettable days, you will step out of your routine and into biblical revelation. You will not just read the Bible. You will stand in it. You will see it. You will sail, swim, and sit in it. You will absolutely feel it. And you will never read it the same way ever again.

Imagine landing in Tel Aviv and realizing you are finally here. The Holy Land. The place where prophets preached, where kings ruled, where Jesus lived, taught, died, and rose again.

You will stand in Caesarea, where Paul boldly defended his faith. You will look across the slopes of Mount Carmel, where Elijah called down fire from heaven. You will walk the streets of Nazareth, stand on Mount Precipice, and sail across the Sea of Galilee while worshiping on the very waters Jesus calmed.

You will open your Bible on the Mount of Beatitudes.
You will pray in the Garden of Gethsemane.
You will float effortlessly in the Dead Sea at the lowest point on earth.
You will stand on the Mount of Olives and gaze across Jerusalem.
You will walk the Via Dolorosa and place your hand where the cross once stood.
You will take communion at the Garden Tomb and celebrate the empty grave.

This journey moves from Galilee to Jerusalem, from the ministry of Christ to the cross of Calvary to the resurrection. You will experience it all.

Spots are limited. And when they are gone, they are gone. You need to pay your deposit to reserve your spot on this amazing journey. 

If God has stirred your heart even slightly, if you have ever wanted to see Scripture come alive, if you have longed for your faith to be strengthened and your understanding deepened, this is your moment. Secure your place. Submit your deposit. Take the step.
