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.
