DEAR FRIENDS:
From ancient times until today, pilgrims from every land have visited the Bible Lands. Perhaps this trip could be your opportunity to make such a pilgrimage.
A visit to the Holy Land can revolutionize your Bible study. It can be a great adventure in history and faith. In this land lie the ruins of the world”s most ancient civilizations. It is the land of Christ and prophets. No place has played a greater role in human history.
Please consider this brochure as an invitation to join us on our trip to Israel. Walk with us where Jesus walked!
