What to Expect
You’re invited to join us on a 10 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.
— SteveWe 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.
— JoeyGTI 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.

Leader, First Christian Church
Glen Singer is a retired family physician from Iola, Kansas, now living in the Aiken, South Carolina area. His home church for 35 years was The First Christian Church in Iola where he served in various capacities. It is the sponsoring entity through GTI for this journey. Since moving to South Carolina, Dee and Glen have become active members of The Second Baptist Church of Beech Island where he fills in from time to time at the piano and has also filled in teaching an adult Sunday School class. This will be Glen’s fourth visit to Israel, and each visit has been extra special! He and his wife, Dee, were leaders on their previous visit in November 2019 with a group of 32 folks. Years of in-depth study of the Bible and God’s promises to Israel have strengthened Glen’s interest in the land of Israel and his desire to share these promises with others.. Please consider joining us as we partner with GTI to explore and study the rich history of Israel.
