Amazing Israel Adventure April 24 - May 6, 2022

“It is a land that drinks rain from heaven.”We can’t wait to share our favorite place in the entire world – Amazing Israel - with you! This WOW trip is for men and women and is being carefully planned with your safety and comfort in mind. The Bible will come to life in fresh ways as you experience it on location, seeing prophecy fulfilled, and visiting with fellow believers in Israel.

Israel is a very diverse and beautiful country and the “apple of God’s eye” (Zechariah 2:8). We will travel to Haifa in the north, east to the Sea of Galilee north to the Golan Heights, south to the Dead Sea and then up to Jerusalem, the city of our King! Jerusalem is the “center of the nations” (Ezekiel 5:5) and it is a city like no other. Jerusalem is where our Lord Jesus suffered, was crucified, and was raised from the dead and ascended into heaven. He will return there when His feet stand on the Mount of Olives (Zechariah 14:4) and He enters Jerusalem again via the Eastern Gate. Can you imagine seeing these places and many more with your own eyes? You will experience the Bible in “3D” and living color!

While we will visit many incredible sites, we will also take time to visit with believers living there, learning from them, worshipping together and praying for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6).

Stepping back to the time of King David, we will visit ancient Jerusalem, and ascend to Mt. Moriah, where the First and Second Temples stood. We will visit the Ophel Excavations and study the scriptures on the southern steps. You may put your prayer requests on slips of paper in the Western Wall as so many people have done over the years. Our day will conclude with a poignant visit to Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Museum.

We will see Stephen’s Gate which Israeli paratroopers came through during the Six-Day War in 1967, re-uniting Jerusalem. We will see the Pools of Bethesda.
