Israel: Land of the Bible

“There’s only one place in the world where in every direction you look and every step you take, you find beauty, reveal meaning and connect with your spiritual roots. Israel is the land of the Bible and the cradle of Christianity where it all began – the place where you can touch the past and be inspired for the future. When you visit Israel, God’s Word becomes clearer, your faith becomes deeper, and your passion for Christ becomes stronger.

We believe that once you visit Israel, you’ll never be the same again! When Christian tourists return from a trip to Israel, invariably the single most heard expression is: “I’ll never be the same again….” This pilgrimage follows the steps of Moses in Egypt and footsteps of Jesus in Israel.
