This is a trip of a lifetime! You'll take a step from faith to fact as we see the actual places that our Lord walked. You'll see Jerusalem, the city of God, and Bethlehem, the city of David. Sail across the Sea of Galilee and visit biblical cities like Beth Shean, Capernaum, Caesarea, Jericho, Nazareth, and so many more. You'll walk the dusty roads of Galilee, the Jordan Valley and Judea and have a chance to float in the Dead Sea and be baptized in the Jordan River. This trip will take you back 2000 years as you walk where Jesus walked. Reading your Bible will never be the same again! Optional extensions are available. Add Petra in Jordan, Egypt, Greece, Italy or Turkey and make this a tour you will never forget.
Greece played a major role in the expansion of Christianity, and to visit here is to walk in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul. It was here that the way was prepared for Christianity, by giving the world a universal language to proclaim the Gospel in a known tongue. Walk the ancient streets, learn of pagan culture, and stand in the theater where Paul was mobbed and arrested while addressing the multitudes. The beauty of the land, the majesty of it's seas, the awesomeness of it's mountains and most of all, the culture, design and artistry of the past will thrill you. This is an exciting land! On the basic tour you can visit Athens, Corinth, Philippi and Thessalonica, but consider adding an optional extension that will include Ephesus and Patmos as you sail the Aegean. Or, perhaps add a tour to Turkey where you visit the Seven Churches of Revelation.

In the beginning a solemn promise was made: After the War of 30 years the Black Death came to Oberammergau in the year 1632. In 1633 nearly every family lost one or more victims as a consequence of the Black Death. At the Cemetery the Black Death-invalids promised to act the history of Jesus Christ every ten years. The inhabitants of Oberammergau erected a Symbol for Jesus Christ. An etching of the artist Hans Schwaighofer from Oberammergau testifies this.
On Pentecost 1634 the inhabitants of Oberammergau act the Play on a stage which was built at the cemetery and constructed over the fresh graves of the Black Death victims.
Transcript of the oldsest Passion Lyrics document that could be saved. The majority of the 4902 verses emanates from two much older Passion Plays dating before 1634: A Middle Age Passion Play (Second half of the 15th century) whose manuscript was found at the benedictine monastery St Ulrich und Afra in Augsburg. The second text is the Passion-"Tragedi" of the singer Sebastian Wild from Augsburg dating from 1566.
The entire cast consists of villagers who have lived in Oberammergau for at least 20 years. They must also be amateurs and people of high moral and ethical principles. Villagers also make the outstanding costumes. As no wigs are used, participants must grow their hair and beards for several months prior to the performances, beginning on Ash Wednesday 2009 according to the "Hair Decree."
In 2010 the Passion Play will be performed between 15 May and 3 October in Oberammergau.
Since its beginnings nearly 2000 years ago, perhaps no event has had more impact on the church than the Reformation. In the one simple act of hanging a paper of protest on the door of the local church, one man changed the course of history and reestablished the Scriptures as the ultimate authority. Of course, that man was Martin Luther, and that document was his 95 Theses, hung on the door of All Saints Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany. This is just one of the many sights you will see when you join us for our Reformation Tour of Germany. Come visit Eisleben, where Luther was born, christened, and eventually returned to spend the last days of his life. See Erfurt, where he studied at the University before entering the monastery. View the famous Thomas Church in Leipzig, where he first introduced the “Reformation” to the people. See Wartburg Castle, where Luther translated the New Testament into German, the language of the people. Tour Worms and Augsburg, both sights of great defenses of the principles of the Reformation.
In addition to visiting all the Reformation sights, there is much more included in this exciting journey. Other stops on the tour include the medieval walled city of Nuremberg, the opulent castles of Potsdam, the picturesque village of Rothenberg, and the modern metropolis of Frankfurt. Driving down the fabled “Romantic Road” and cruising on the Rhine River are bonuses included on the trip. Add a pre-tour extension to Holland and Belgium, or a post-tour extension to France and Switzerland, and you can see other important Reformation sights in Europe. With the beauty of Europe as the backdrop, and the power of the Reformation as the focus, this is a trip you won’t want to miss.
"FAITH OF OUR FATHERS HERITAGE" ENGLAND & SCOTTLAND
When you think of England and Scotland, what comes to your mind? Maybe it’s the pastoral beauty of the gently rolling countryside. Perhaps it’s the majestic grandeur of the cathedrals and universities. It might be the bustle of the cities or the quaintness of the villages. Whatever your impression is, everyone agrees that it is a place of great heritage and rich history. And what better way to see this land than to explore how it’s history and heritage have influenced our Christian faith. That’s why we have developed our Christian Heritage Tour. This journey will emphasize the impact of a thousand years of church history. It includes visits to several cathedrals that date back to Norman times. Even today their beauty and splendor are awe-inspiring. There is a stop in Oxford, the beautiful university town, where men from Reformation times (Latimer and Ridley), through Wesley and the birth of Methodism, to the twentieth century writings of C. S. Lewis have had a profound affect on the Christian church. See many important sights associated with John Wesley and George Whitefield, including Bristol, Gloucester, Epworth and Bedford. Spend time in Edinburgh, where John Knox took his stand for the faith against the throne of England. And of course, there is London, where stops at Westminster Abbey, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and Charles Spurgeon’s Metropolitan Tabernacle emphasize the importance of the church in England’s history. Combine these experiences with visits to culturally significant places such as York, Cambridge, and Stratford-on-Avon, sightseeing along the English countryside, and first-class accommodations, and you have all the ingredients of a life-changing trip.
