I have taken a group of eager pilgrims to the Holy Land every year since 1964 and I welcome you to our 2012 tour.

You have two great options this year.  You can elect the Mysterious Cappadocia Tour of Turkey.  This is one of my favorite places to visit.  Its otherworldly.  Most North Americans dont appreciate the beauty or biblical importance of Turkey.  Wait until you see it.  Of biblical interest is Tarsus, the birthplace of the Apostle Paul, Antioch where Paul and Barnabas were sent out on their first missionary journey, Galatia, Cappadocia, Seleucia and more.  This is the other Holy Land and worth a visit by itself.  Even if you dont continue on to the Holy Land of Israel, youll love Turkey.

Or you can opt to take the Majestic Places Tour of Israel.  In Israel well see many places youve read about Bethlehem, Jericho, Capernaum, Nazareth, Caesarea, and of course Jerusalem.  Well follow the footsteps of Elijah, Jonah, Peter and John, and of course Jesus.  Well swim in the Dead Sea, sail the Sea of Galilee and well pause daily for times of teaching in the Word, reflection and worship.

So, the choice is yours.  Two lands of extreme biblical importance.  Cant decide between the two?  You dont have to.  You can choose to link the tours and do them both, and the best news of all is you will save $500 off the total price by doing so.

Since we limit the number of people we take (because I want to move around and get to know you all), dont delay on either of these wonderful tours.  Send a reservation to Maranatha Tours today, or call if you have questions.  I look forward to seeing you in the Holy Land.

Sincerely,

Woodrow Kroll
