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!
Something about sailing on the Sea of Galilee, walking the streets of Jerusalem, and viewing the empty tomb creates a deep change of heart and spirit. You can sense God’s presence there.
Welcome to  walk where Jesus walked, where he preached, lived, and performed miracles!!!
