The psalmist declares, “Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.” – Psalm 84:5.
It is perhaps one of the great privileges of our time to enjoy the Holy Land. No other place on earth offers such a unique and intimate experience for those who love and follow Christ. For this reason, we are very honored to open this door of opportunity for you.
I want to personally invite you to come and join us as we make our very own pilgrimage, and encounter in profound ways the wonderful heritage we have in Jesus Christ. Join us as we encounter the rich culture, the breathtaking sites and the timeless stories preserved so beautifully in God’s word.
Enrich your life. Make the journey. Be forever changed.
See you in Jerusalem!
Pastor Lloyd Pulley

FAQs
Where are we staying?
Ramada Netanya
David’s Harp Galilee
Leonardo Plaza, Jerusalem
are the sites biblically accurate?
We focus on visiting sites that are biblically accurate. Over the years many sites in Israel have become part of church tradition or were sites visited by early pilgrims and are not the true sites mentioned in the Bible.
We visit sites that are clearly pinpointed in the Bible and read the corresponding passages while at the actual location. This is one aspect of the visit that makes our trip unique.
What does a typical day look like?
After breakfast, load onto the bus to head to the site. Our tour guide will guide us to and through the various sites. Arriving at the main location of the site, Pastor Lloyd will lead us in a devotion, sharing scripturally what happened at that site and its importance. Head to the next site and repeat for all sites scheduled for that day. Dinner back at the hotel and free time afterwards. There will be some time in Jerusalem to explore the Old City on your own.
What are we going to eat?
All breakfasts, all dinners and 4 lunches provided in cost of tour
