Israel Educational Tour- Footsteps-- 2007

Have you ever wondered what it must have been like for Jesus to walk the shores of Galilee, to mingle in the streets of Jerusalem, to pray in the Garden of Gethsemane, or to eat from the land of 'milk and honey'? Here is your opportunity to experience the land of the Bible first hand with all of its history and beauty. As you do so, you will find that this trip is like no other. We have designed the tour to be experiential, to allow you to "live" as you learn. We will do this through varied activities:

  • Working on an archaeological dig for a day
  • Hiking through the forest of Mount Hermon
  • Swimming in the Dead Sea
  • Shopping in the Old City of Jerusalem
  • Walking the steps of Christ to the Cross
  • Worshipping by the Jordan River

All of this in an effort to understand the Bible and its application with a fresh perspective.
