Dear Friends,
SHALOM! Would you like to visit the Holy
Land - to walk in the footsteps of Jesus
(not to mention those of the Old and New
Testament saints)?
Glorianne and I would like to invite you to join us for an 11day pilgrimage to the Holy Land, that will help to make the
Bible and history of our ancient Christian Faith “come alive”
for you in a way that cannot be described, but must be
experienced!

God defeated 450 prophets of Baal with fire from heaven;
and Cana, where Jesus performed his first miracle at a
wedding reception (we'll have a brief service for those who
would like to celebrate their marriage vows). We then
check into our hotel on the shore of the Sea of Galilee
before enjoying a delicious Mediterranean dinner buffet.
Orchestrated in cooperation with our pilgrimage partners at
