Today was our last day in the Holy Land and what an experience it was! Our goal for today was to walk the ancient path of Jesus that he took from entering Jerusalem to his resurrection. So, we started on the Mount of Olives and went to the place that is considered to be the Garden of Gethsemane, where...
Day 08 - Jerusalem: Temple Mount, Hezekiah's Tunnel, Pool of Siloam, Church of the Nativity, Herodium

Day 8 has been incredible! We started at the Temple Mount, where the temple formally stood. Now, the Dome of the Rock is there. Our tour guide, Ronen, shared the history of the temple and what’s there now with us. We, then, went to the City of David (not Bethlehem) and watched a movie about David...
Day 07 - Coastal Plain: Megiddo, Mt. Carmel, Caesarea Maritima, Rabbinic Tunnels

Good evening! We began making our way to Jerusalem this morning with several stops along the way. Our first was Megiddo, the location of one of Solomon’s palaces, as well as the location of the future battle of Armageddon. There are remnants of 30 different civilizations stacked on top of each...
Day 06 - Decapolis: Beth Shean, Tel Jezreel, Mount Gilboa, Galilee Boat Ride, Susita

Day 6 is in the books! This morning we spent three hours exploring and learning at Beth She’an (its Hebrew name, meaning, “House of Quiet”. Once it was conquered by Rome, they named it Scythopolis. We saw the astounding ancient Roman ruins and noticed how similar they’re pagan...
Day 05 - Upper Galilee: Gamla, Caesarea Philippi, Tel Dan
posted on Saturday June 11 2022 at 8:00 pm UTC
It has been an amazing Shabot (Sabbath)! We went to a special place for devotion this morning - an overlook on the Sea of Galilee. Then, we spent the majority of the morning at Gamla, a Zealot fortress. The hike up was so beautiful and pleasant. At the top, we talked about our zeal for the Lord. We spent...
Day 04 - Galilee: Mount Arbel, Tabgha, Capernaum, Chorazin, Bethsaida, Jordan River

Shabot Shalom! As soon as the sun went down today in Israel, it officially became the Sabbath. We celebrated once we got back to our hotel by swimming and hanging out in the Sea of Galilee. We started this morning off at Mt. Arbel. Several times the scriptures tell us that Jesus “went to pray”....
Day 03 - Judah Wilderness: Ein Gedi & Qumran
posted on Friday June 10 2022 at 12:00 am UTC
Good evening! We started our day off hiking through midbar desert (desert you can survive in). We were perplexed by the stream of water flowing down the cliff we hiked along. Our hike ended at the Ein Gedi waterfall, another place where David hid from Saul. After a awesome lunch of shwarma chicken sandwiches,...
Day 02 - Wilderness of Zin: Makhtesh Ramon, Tel Arad, Bedouin Experience, Masada, Salt Sea
posted on Wednesday June 08 2022 at 8:00 pm UTC
Shalom from Israel! Today has been another gift from the Lord. We started our morning at devotion sharing God moments. The most notable being that this trip hadn’t even been possible for the past two years because of COVID and, now, here we are by God’s grace. In the Bible,...
Day 01 - Shephelah: Gezer, Beth Shemesh, Azekah, Caves of Adullam, Lachish
posted on Tuesday June 07 2022 at 6:00 pm UTC
Good evening from Israel! We had an incredible and full day in the hill country! First on our itinerary this morning was Gezer. We stopped at a gate that was built during the time of Solomon. Gates were significant in biblical times as they were a place were the elders would gather to make administrative...
Day 00 - We have arrived in Israel!
posted on Monday June 06 2022 at 7:00 pm UTC
We are in Israel! Thank you for all of your prayers asking God for safe traveling mercies. The past 24 hours (or more, not sure) have been full of laughs while brothers got things stuck in sister’s hair, learning how to use the squat toilet and hopelessly searching for baklava in the Istanbul airport....
