What to Expect

You’re invited to join us on a 11 day, all-inclusive Israel Study Tour.

You will be immersed in the land and lessons of the Bible as you’re led on a journey through Scripture while your local guide and driver will bring the past and present culture of Israel alive to all your senses.

Unlike other Holy Land tours, this tour is solely focused on bringing Scripture to life through first-hand experiences in the places the stories actually happened. An all-inclusive trip ensures you're free to focus on each moment without worrying about lodging, tips, transportation, entrance fees, food or water.

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.

Chad Allen

Lead Pastor, North Bible Church

Leading, teaching, and shepherding people is one of the greatest joys of my life. I have been in ministry for 35 years and have pastored in California, Ohio, and Arizona. My wife Rica and I have been married over 30 years and have been blessed with three amazing kids.

My first trip to Israel was in 2014, and as many of you have heard or experienced, the Bible came to life in so many new ways. Since then, I love providing the opportunity to help others walk the lands of the Bible, experience the Bible come to life, and encounter surreal, life- changing, and faith-transforming moments as part of their journey of growth as a disciple of Jesus.

Rich Ronald

Rich Ronald has loved learning and teaching about the Jewish roots of Jesus for most of his life, celebrating the Feasts and Shabbat in his home with his family and with his church. He was a pastor for 15 years and is a strong “second chair” senior servant leader in both ministry and the business marketplace. He and his wife, Linda, have been married for 34 years and both presently serve in a ministry of prayer and hospitality. They live in Roanoke, Virginia. He loves teaching and walking in The Land. This will be his sixth trip to Israel.
