Join us for a core-shaking, groundbreaking, life-altering trip to Israel. Our team will experience the same deserts, streams and valleys that Jesus, Moses, Jacob, Elijah, Paul, Mary and the disciples walked themselves, centuries ago. This truly is a once-in-a-lifetime journey. 

 

We'll spend hours each day hiking the landscapes of this beautiful country. Along the way we will hear teachings that masterfully weave together the Old and New Testament, Jewish traditions, Greek and Roman history, all with a "Jesus" worldview. By the end of our trip, our hearts and minds will forever reflect on the amazing friendships made, sites encountered up close and personal, and the feeling of awe, grace, and gratitude after experiencing the very sites and land that birthed the beginning of our faith in Christ, our Savior and Redeemer! 

 

This isnt just a typical Holy Land tour, our team will experience heartfelt devotionals, worship, and daily teachings from our trip Director, Guide, and each other. You'll have the opportunity to be ceremoniously baptised in the Jordan river, walk in the footsteps of Jesus, enjoy "family-style" dinners, and be stirred in your heart as the Bible stories come alive right before your eyes.

 

So get your sandals ready as we prepare to embark on the ultimate "Jesus" journey together!

Entering the Old City through Stephen’s Gate we will visit the Pool of Bethesda and St. Ann’s Church; Antonio’s Fortress and the pit where Christ may have suffered.

Parts of the stairs leading to the Temple Mount as well as some of the purification pools can be viewed. This is the general area where Jesus would have driven out the money changers. The south eastern pinnacle is said to be where Jesus was tempted to throw Himself down when tempted by the Enemy.
