"In search of Jesus"
10 Full Days-9 Nights: February 22-March 5
An all-inclusive 5-Star Trip for only $3509 (double occupancy)

THE WALL
We know what you're thinking: "You're going to Israel with Iran and Israel threatening one another?" This is my 33rd trip to Israel and we have yet to plan a trip that wasn't in the midst of turmoil. But once we arrived in Israel, there is a wonderful feeling of the reality of peace and safety. Of course, we will not go, if it is unsafe! 


This is truly a trip of a lifetime! As when people encountered Jesus they were never the same, so will it be with you as you meet up with Jesus and follow Him in His homeland! One of the amazing benefits of walking where Jesus walked is that your Bible will never be the same again. It actually comes alive in your reading as you reflect on your experiences from this trip. After taking hundreds of people to meet Jesus in Israel and Palestine, no one has returned the same!

We have 3 goals for our trip. FIRST-To get to know Jesus better! SECOND-To learn to love each other! THIRD-To wait for Jesus to show up among us with unique experiences and opportunities! Please reserve your seat as soon as possible, because space is limited!

We continue to Mount Carmel, where Elijah challenged the false prophets. On the way to Nazareth we visit the excavation of Megiddo and are able to view the northern most end of the famous valley of Armageddon.

Here we will check into our Hotel and will enjoy dinner and an evening together, positioned at the shore of Galilee.

DAY 4 (Mon) We rise early and cruise on the famous Sea of Galilee. This day is full of adventure, visiting the Mt. of Beatitudes, where Jesus delivered His Sermon on the Mt. On that very hillside, we will read His words and listen for what He is saying to us today. We will also visit the three villages where Jesus performed most of His miracles-Capernaum, Chorazin and Bethsaida. We'll also visit a special site called Tabgha, commemorating the feeding of the 5000. During our three days in the Galilee, we will celebrate a special baptism for those who want to participate.

DAY 5 (Tues) Borders of Israel. We take the road through the Golan Heights where we will hear the explanations of the strategic and political significance of this area. Time permitting; we will visit Israel's finest winery. Also, on the Golan Heights we will visit Caesarea Phillipi. This is the actual site where Jesus asked His disciples, "Who do you say I am?" We'll continue to the source of the Dan River, which leads into the Jordan River. At the Tel Dan Nature Reserve we will be treated to a refreshing walk to view the Abrahamic Gate. In our travels we will be able to view the borders of Lebanon, Syria and Jordan. On this evening we will enjoy a special festive dinner at a private restaurant on the Sea.

DAY 6 (Weds) Leaving our Galilee resort, we head toward Jerusalem. On the way we proceed through the city of Beit Shean, one of the earliest and most important cities in Israel from the time of the Canaanites. We will view its magnificent excavations. This is a live dig where you will see both Old Testament and New Testament sites. We continue through the Jordan Valley, passing by Jericho, the first city conquered in the Promised Land. From here we continue on the road to Masada, a spectacular desert fortress. We will take the cable car up the high, rocky cliffs of Masada to explore Herod's palaces and learn of its powerful story of perseverance. Masada overlooks the Dead Sea, where we will visit to give you opportunity to float in the Sea and experience its healing minerals. This is the lowest place on earth! On our way back to Jerusalem we will visit the Caves of Qumran, where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found. Tonight we enter the Holy City of Jerusalem. After checking into our beautiful hotel for the next five nights, we will enjoy dinner together.

Continue through the picturesque market streets past the Citadel of David and exit through the Jaffa Gate, passing the Stations of the Cross along the Via Dolorosa and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher on the way.

DAY 8 (Fri) Begin the day early with a special visit to Biblical Shiloh and Bethel; continue in the new part of Jerusalem by visiting the Israel Museum where there is a scale model of the city of Jerusalem from New Testament Times, including the Second Temple. Also at the Museum we'll visit the Dead Sea Scrolls, housed in a specially prepared building. Before dinner, we will visit the Western Wall for a most interesting experience of the Jews bringing in the Sabbath.

We will then make the border crossing into Bethlehem to visit the birthplace of Jesus and may meet some friends there before returning to Jerusalem.

DAY 10 (Sun) Travel around the temple pinnacle to the City of David and on to the House of Caiaphas and visit an ancient tomb with its own "rolling stone" to seal it shut. Continue to Mount Zion, the Upper Room. Drive to Yad V'shem, the memorial to the Holocaust, a memorial to 6 million Jews murdered by the Nazis. FREE TIME before our last dinner at our hotel.
