JOIN US | OCTOBER 14 – 24, 2025
YOU ARE INVITED
If you’ve been to Israel before and are eager to experience something beyond the first visit, this journey is for you! Join us as we dive deeper into the land of the Bible, exploring ancient ruins, newly uncovered archaeological sites, and hidden gems often missed by standard itineraries.
Walk the ancient paths where history and Scripture converge. From unearthing the remnants of biblical cities to standing atop excavated ruins with breathtaking views, this tour will take you beyond the familiar and into the extraordinary. You’ll see sites that bring fresh insight into the world of the patriarchs, prophets, and apostles—places where history is still being uncovered today!
This trip is designed for those ready to embrace adventure, walk the land in a whole new way, and engage with the past through hands-on exploration. We’ll go beyond the bus, covering up to 20,000 steps a day as we immerse ourselves in the landscapes and stories that shaped our faith.
Along the way, we will pause for times of reflection, worship, and prayer—standing in places where biblical events unfolded and experiencing the Scriptures with new depth.
If you’re ready for a one-of-a-kind, spiritually enriching journey that goes beyond the surface, don’t miss this opportunity. Come with us and discover Israel like never before!
Shalom,
Pastor Tom Hughes
