You’re invited to join us on a 12 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 you’ll be 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.

— Steve

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.

Ernesto Duke

Ernesto lived as a missionary in Mexico before coming to Eternity Bible College as a student and helping plant a church in Los Angeles, CA. After graduating from Eternity, he went on to Western Seminary where he studied Old Testament Language and Exegesis and then returned to work at Eternity where he now serves as the president of the school and teaches Old Testament Courses. Ernesto loves the Old Testament and is looking forward to the stories coming alive for you as you see where it all happened.

Joshua Walker

Leader, Eternity Bible

Joshua has been a passionate educator at Eternity Bible College for nearly two decades, teaching the Bible and mentoring students. He loves taking people on study trips to Israel, where he helps them see the Bible come alive through the geography of the land. He has seen firsthand how these trips can deepen students' understanding of the Bible and their love for God and people.

Dr. Mathew Halsted

Leader, Eternity Bible

Matthew is a likable and pastoral Bible nerd with a deep knowledge of both the Old and New Testaments, including being an expert in the background of the New Testament. He has written two books—most recently one on eschatology, which will be released in early 2024. He is passionate about helping people deepen their love for God by broadening their grasp of the Bible through an understanding of its history and background.
