Dear Friends,

I would love for you to join me as we journey together through the Land of the Bible. Visiting Israel is so much more than taking a trip—it is an opportunity to experience God's Word in a way that simply cannot be duplicated anywhere else.

This tour is especially exciting because of its unique focus on the Galilee. Instead of only spending a day or two in the region, we'll devote an entire week to exploring the places where Jesus lived, taught, called His disciples, and performed many of His miracles. We'll walk portions of the ancient Jesus Trail, kayak along the shores of the Sea of Galilee, visit remarkable archaeological sites, meet those who are uncovering biblical history, and experience the culture and hospitality of the people who call this beautiful region home. By taking the time to truly immerse ourselves in the Galilee, the Gospel accounts will come alive in fresh and unforgettable ways.

From there, we'll continue to Jerusalem, where we'll walk the streets that witnessed the final week of our Lord's earthly ministry, His crucifixion, resurrection, and the birth of the Church. Throughout our journey, we'll open God's Word together at the very places where these events unfolded, connecting the Bible with the land in ways that will deepen your understanding of Scripture and strengthen your faith.

Whether this is your first visit to Israel or you've been before, I believe this itinerary offers a remarkable opportunity to experience the land in a way that few travelers ever do. My prayer is that you'll return home with a greater love for the Lord, a deeper appreciation for His Word, and a renewed anticipation for His soon return.

I hope you'll prayerfully consider joining me for this unforgettable journey. It would be a privilege to experience Israel together.

Shalom,
Pastor Tom Hughes

This 13-day biblical journey has been thoughtfully designed to provide an immersive exploration of the very places where Jesus lived, ministered, and proclaimed the Kingdom of God. Unlike most Israel tours, this itinerary features an extraordinary week in the Galilee, allowing you to move beyond a brief visit and experience the region with a depth that few travelers ever do.

As you walk the ancient paths overlooking the Sea of Galilee, visit significant archaeological discoveries, explore the villages and landscapes of the Gospels, and spend unhurried time at the places where Jesus taught, healed, and called His disciples, you'll gain a richer understanding of the biblical narrative and the historical setting of Scripture. The journey then continues to Jerusalem, where the events surrounding Christ's crucifixion, resurrection, and the birth of the Church forever changed the course of history.

This is far more than a sightseeing tour. It is an opportunity to encounter God's Word in its original setting through biblical teaching, meaningful fellowship, and unforgettable experiences that bring the pages of Scripture to life. Whether this is your first visit to Israel or a return to the land of the Bible, this carefully crafted itinerary is designed to deepen your faith, strengthen your confidence in God's Word, and leave you with a greater appreciation for His redemptive plan revealed throughout the land of Israel.
