Our Adventure Awaits

Fellow Pilgrim,

   Pam and I are honored that you are joining us on this journey of a lifetime, walking where Jesus walked, a pilgrimage through the land of Israel.  I have always referred to the land as the Fifth Gospel.  Its sights and sounds and smells fill in the pictures of the words we read in the Bible.  From sailing on the Sea of Galilee, to roaming the hills of En Gedi, to walking on the narrow streets of the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem, our imaginations will place us into the picture.  And Scripture reading will never be the same.

Here are the details:

Dates:    November 3-15, 2024

Cost:      Land Cost is $4100 based on 22 or more people.  Airfare and a few lunches not included.

Our Itinerary:

 All pilgrims will need to be in Tel Aviv by Monday, November 4th.  The bus will pull out from the hotel by 8:15 the next morning to head north.  We will visit Jaffa, Caesarea, Mt. Carmel, Megiddo, Nazareth and end our day by the Sea of Galilee.

We will spend three nights in the area of the Sea of Galilee, visiting the places where Jesus did a majority of  His three years of ministry (Capernaum, Korazim, Magdala, Kursi, Tabgha).  We will also visit sites on the Golan Heights, along the Lebanese, Syrian and Jordanian borders, and do baptisms in the Jordan River.  A boat ride on the Sea of Galilee and some other special treats are included.

We will then travel south along the Jordan River valley to visit Beit Shean, where Saul’s body was hung on the wall after his defeat on Mt. Gilboa.  We will also stop at the location where Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist.  We will spend two nights along the Dead Sea.  En Gedi (where David hid from Saul), Masada, Qumran (where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found) and possibly Beersheba are all on our itinerary. You will also have the chance to float in the Dead Sea and have a spa treatment.

Our last five nights will be in Jerusalem and the surrounding area, including Bethlehem.
