Israel 2027

Walk in the Footsteps of Jesus

10-Day Israel Pilgrimage & Tour

  • Dates: April 7 – April 16, 2027
  • Registration Deadline: December 1, 2026

Why Make a Pilgrimage?

Four Reasons to Experience the Holy Land:

  • The Bible in Full Color: Visiting Israel changes how you read Scripture. Many call the land “the fifth gospel”—what was once text on a page becomes a vivid, physical reality.
  • A Spiritual Encounter: You are not simply a tourist; you are a pilgrim seeking to know the Lord better. Pilgrims routinely experience God revealing Himself in powerful, fresh ways.
  • Prayer for the Region: Israel is a place the Lord deeply loves, and its people are made in His image. As we walk these sacred sites, we heed the Psalmist’s call to “pray for the peace of Jerusalem” (Ps. 122:6).
  • Deeper Fellowship: Journeying alongside brothers and sisters in Christ creates lasting bonds—whether praying on the shores of Galilee or taking Communion together at the Garden Tomb.
