See Scripture in Its Setting
Imagine reading the words of Jesus near the Sea of Galilee, praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, standing on the Southern Steps used by worshipers approaching the Temple, and looking across Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives. The geography, history and culture behind familiar passages begin to take shape when you see them for yourself.
The Summer 2027 Israel Experience Tour is designed for Christians who want more than a vacation. Each day brings together biblical sites, thoughtful guidance, Christian fellowship and firsthand encounters with the nation of Israel. You will return home with a clearer picture of the Bible’s setting and a deeper connection to the land and people at the heart of God’s covenant purposes.
