I’m so excited to announce registration is open for our “See and Share” Holy Land MIssion Trip and Tour of Israel! I’d love to invite you to join me for a truly unforgettable journey to Israel. On our “See and Share” tour, you’ll have the opportunity to walk where Jesus walked and experience the Scriptures in a powerful, personal way.
This isn’t just a tour—it’s a gospel mission! You’ll be trained to share the gospel of Jesus with Jewish people and then put that training into action at the sites of Israel that we visit.
We’ll visit the Sea of Galilee, where we’ll reflect on the miracles of Jesus and enjoy its calm, historic waters. We’ll stand together on the Mount of Olives, looking across the Kidron Valley toward Jerusalem as Jesus once did with His disciples. We’ll also spend time in a quiet garden with an empty tomb, reflecting on the death, burial, and glorious resurrection of our Savior.
Throughout the tour, we’ll be hearing from Scripture at key locations including Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nazareth, the Jordan River, and many other significant biblical sites. We’ll be joined by an experienced Messianic Jewish tour guide who will help bring the land and the Bible to life.
This journey will be filled with incredible sights, meaningful fellowship, and moments of deep spiritual reflection. You will get the rare experience of sharing the Messiah with many Jews in need of salvation. Sadly, many religious Jews have been forbidden to read the New Testament, but we will provide gospel tracts and Bibles to hand out for free.
Ask your church to help sponsor you on this once in a lifetime mission trip to Israel. Experience the wonders of the Holy Land! From May 24th to June 4th, 2026.
May 25 – June 3
