Have you ever dreamed of visiting the land of Israel? Have you been to Israel before, but have always wanted to return? Then we would love you to join our tour! We have partnered with Chosen People to deliver an unforgettable experience to Israel.

The Holy Land is a place where the past meets the present and the words of Scripture come alive not only embracing them both but pointing us to the future. We will be exploring the ancient stones of the biblical sites as well as learning about what is happening today.

We will start our tour in Tel Aviv and then head to the Galilee to celebrate Shabbat, visiting the sites where Jesus taught and see where walked. There will even be an opportunity to be baptised in the Jordan, in the same river that Jesus was baptised in and also to visit his home town of Nazareth. We will take time to float in the Dead Sea, visit the Qumran caves and get refreshed in Ein Gedi, a desert oasis. Finally, spending time in Jerusalem, the city of the great King, where we will pray at the western wall, sit where Jesus sat on the night he was betrayed in Gethsemane and recount the story of Calvary in the very place it happened!

This is a trip to which will draw you closer to God and give you a whole new perspective.
