Holy sites will change how you read the gospels!”Pastor Adam HamiltonChurch of the Resurrection

Pastor Bruce KochsmeierFirst Presbyterian Church

“I can’t begin to express what a difference my pilgrimage to the Holy Land made inmy life and in my ministry. For me and our group of pilgrims, it was a spiritual

experience we will never forget. The Sacred Scriptures now come alive in a waywe never imagined possible.”

Father Bill SwengrosPastor of St. Stephen Catholic Church

land is taking others with you.” Rev. Don ChandlerCentral Baptist Church

“In 1960 while studying briefly in Israel, I discovered that I learned more about theBible and the Mission of Jesus visiting the Holy Land than by my total
