Giving Back
Support Our Guides
What do we mean by "Giving Back"? Good question. Typically it would not be like us to link to sites with products available for purchase. But from our perspective, this is an opportunity to support our friends during this time. Without them, we could not do what we do. So follow these links to see some amazing products and gifts. When you buy goods from the Land, you are Giving Back to the people and places that are so special to us all.
GTI Tours Merchandise Fundraiser
In light of all that is happening in Israel, we wanted to invite you to join us as we support our friends. As you know, many of our partners work in the tourist industry, which has been dramatically affected. We have designed some new GTI gear that you can purchase, and the proceeds will go to bless them at the end of the year. We know many of you are looking for ways to show your support. Whether you buy a coffee mug, hat, t-shirt, or sweatshirt, know you are making a difference during this difficult time.
All proceeds benefit our Israeli guides
Johnny's Souvenir Shop - Handcarved Olivewood
If you're been to Israel with GTI Tours there is a good chance you visited Johnny's in Bethlehem and seen firsthand the rich beauty of their hand-carved olive wood figures. Whether you want to display a nativity set each year or place a simple figure on your shelf, Johnny's has what you're looking for!
Promises of Glory
In these trying times, we're uniting with fellow businesses in the Holy Land to navigate challenges. Through Promises of Glory, we've created a shared marketplace for merchants to showcase their exceptional products. Recent events near Gaza have halted tourism, impacting us all. Together, we pool resources and expertise, providing a lifeline to preserve traditions, craftsmanship, and cultural significance. A portion of the proceeds will continue to go towards aid and assistance.

Homesick for Israel
Is it possible to be homesick for a place you have never lived? Many people who have been to Israel would say that it is. Our Israel experiences weave together pieces of our spirits, minds, and hearts. These invisible threads not only connect us to the Land but leave us ever longing for it and the Messiah who called it Home.
