Dear Brothers and Sisters,
It is a true joy for us to invite you to join us on a life-changing pilgrimage to Israel — an experience of a lifetime, a journey unlike any other. This tour will follow the footsteps of Jesus from beginning to end, bringing the Scriptures to life as we visit the very places where the stories of the Bible unfolded. It will be an experience that will never leave you, deeply enriching your faith and understanding.
Throughout the trip, we will explore some of the most meaningful biblical locations in the land. At many of these sites, we will teach directly on location, allowing the Word of God to be understood in its original setting. Those who have traveled with us before can testify that nothing compares to experiencing the Bible in the land where it happened. No school, no seminary, and no church classroom can match the depth of understanding gained during these days in Israel.
We will also have the opportunity to be baptized in the Jordan River and to experience many events and locations mentioned throughout Scripture. Our journey will include visits to Jerusalem, the Holy City; Bethlehem, the birthplace of our Lord; Capernaum, the center of Jesus' Galilean ministry; Mount Carmel, where Elijah confronted the prophets of Baal; and many, many other remarkable places.
We will share worship and reflection in some of the most sacred places on earth — the Garden of Gethsemane, the Mount of Beatitudes, the Temple Mount area, and the Upper Room — standing together where the ministry of Jesus Christ took place.
Imagine a Sunday morning service in the Garden of Gethsemane, the very place where Jesus was arrested as He entered the final three days of His earthly life. It will be a moment you will never forget.
We cannot fully express what this journey has meant to those who have traveled with us before. It is truly a life-changing experience — an experience that will stay with you forever.
We warmly encourage you to join us. There is plenty of time to prepare, and you may make payments in increments, making the trip more comfortable and accessible. By the time we depart, your entire journey can be fully taken care of.
We look forward to sharing this unforgettable pilgrimage with you.
God bless you,
Bishop Andrew. John, Apostle Stephen Andrew's & Pastor Horace Thompson
