Come and study the Bible with us in the land of Israel!
This is a wonderful opportunity to experience the Bible like never before!
From 19-26 March 2025 we will travel across the Holy Land together - from Caesarea to the Galilee; from the Dead Sea to Jerusalem; and so much in between. We will walk where Jesus walked & teach where Jesus taught; we will stand on the mountain where Elijah defeated the prophets of Baal and we will explore Jerusalem where so much biblical history took place (and will yet take place!). We will share Communion together by the Garden Tomb where Jesus was buried and rose from the dead ...and so much more!
Along the way we will study the Bible together in the very places the events took place - bringing the Bible to life in a unique and amazing way! We will sing together, we will eat together, we will enjoy fellowship together. Indeed one of the great blessings of these tours is that we do it together! There is something special about meeting new people and making new friends while touring the land of Israel!
WE HOPE YOU CAN JOIN US! Space is limited and early booking is recommended.
