What is a GTI Study Tour?

We’ve built into our study tours everything you need for an enjoyable and educational trip. We want you to be fully focused on the lessons and experiences you’ll encounter, and not be distracted by local tipping practices, transportation arrangements, or meal planning.

We believe that as a Study Tour participant you’re not a mere tourist—you’re an investment! This is evident from the moment you book your trip, through to the time you return home to share what you’ve learned with your friends and family.

Our seasoned guides and ministry partners do so much more than handle the details and keep things on schedule. Our local guides have personal experience and intimate knowledge of the places and events you’ll examine, and our ministry partner’s teachers have a shepherd’s heart and a passion for God’s word.

The guides have been so personable and so knowledgeable and so friendly. There's just never a bad day for these guys. They make you very comfortable throughout the trip.

We got to walk the land and it made our bibles come alive, and my son being 17, he needed it to come alive. It solidified his foundation in his faith.

— Joey

GTI has done such a great job of taking care of everything... allowing us to feel at home and really focus on the things we needed to from the very beginning.

Mark Whitehead

Tour Leader, Arbel Ministries

Mark Whitehead is the president and founder of Arbel Ministries and a passionate teacher of God's Word. Since his first study tour with Ray Vander Laan of That The World May Know Ministries, Mark has developed a deep love for Israel and teaching the Bible in its context. He loves to bring the Bible to life by showing the importance of its setting and the importance of its original audience. There is no better place to study these things than in the location it was written.

Mark has the ability to teach deep truths about the Bible in a way that everyone can understand. His teachings show how the entire Bible fits together as well as its relevance to our lives today. Through Arbel Ministries, He records a weekly podcast and has authored eight books.

Mark resides in Hohenwald, Tennessee with his wife, Julie, and children, Brylee, Nolan, Neely, and Darby.

John Wiggins

Senior Pastor, La Grange First Missionary Baptist Church

John serves as the senior pastor at LaGrange First Missionary Baptist Church in LaGrange, North Carolina. His journey to Christ began in a teen youth group, where a young lady’s invitation led him to faith, and she eventually became his wife. Together they have raised four sons and help care for all their grandchildren. John’s call to the ministry took place while serving as a summer youth camp counselor in the mountains of North Carolina. Inspired by Moses' story, he committed himself to God and His Word while earning a Master of Divinity from Campbell University in Buies Creek, North Carolina. John has toured Israel on multiple occasions, as well as Turkey and Greece. Each journey deepened his understanding of God and His purpose for him. He finds great joy in helping others connect the Old Testament and the New Testament as they discern their call to serve the One True God.
