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.

Terry & Laura Feix

Pastor, Crossings Community Church

Crossings Community Church is a church committed to discipleship. Terry has spent the last 22 years (15 at CCC) teaching the Bible as part of that commitment. His knowledge of the Scripture, the history and the culture; and his talent for bringing God’s ideas together for both better understanding and life application make this an ideal combination. This study tour is the perfect complement to the training already happening at Crossings. Terry’s motto of “making the Bible come alive” takes on a new meaning in the context of the land of Israel. Each day will begin and end with breakfast and dinner buffets at the hotel and in between, we will travel by tour bus to various locations. Terry will teach throughout the day. Lunch will usually be served on location. There will be lots of walking and some moderate hiking.
