Holy Land Trip

Categories

Lately, I have had a lot of potential travelers ask me, "When is the best time to visit the Holy Land?"  The simple answer is NOW.  if one is speaking about prices, weather and less crowds, probably April-June and late September-October. 

From Jerusalem to Haifa, Bethlehem and Nazereth a holy land trip is not only memorable, it is life changing.  In the mid 1970's Jim RIdgway, a young pastor took his lifelong dream trip to the holy land.  Upon his return, he noticed very acutely how much the trip impacted his life.  It changed the way he preached and studied the bible.  With this enthusiasm, he took the pilgrimage again, this time with a group from his church.  The trip was astonishing, the group returned with more vigor towards teaching and studying the bible, the group volunteered more and felt more connected to the church.  I have no doubt a trip to the holy land either independently or with a group would be life changing indeed.

ETS faith based travel does some of the best tours to the holy land.  Over 350,000 people from around the globe have done tours with ETS and the satisfaction rate is off the charts.  I would be more than happy to discuss possibilities for these trips anytime.  Its important to note, a lot of these trips sell out almost immediately, it is recommended to plan at least a year in advance or more.  With that being said, many people are booking the 2022 OBERAMMERGAU PASSION PLAY, NOW.  If you are interested in the passion play, its best to secure space as soon as possible.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to me today.  I would love to discuss your trip ideas!

PS: Here is a preview of what to expect on a Holy land adventure.

Journey to Jericho (considered the oldest city in the world) to visit the ruins of the ancient city conquered by Joshua (Josh. 6:1). From Jericho, in the distance you can see the traditional site of the Temptation of Jesus (Matt. 4:1). Visit Qasr-el-Yehud and renew the baptism of Christ. In Bethlehem, visit the cave revered as Jesus’ birthplace which now resides in the world’s oldest functioning church (Matt. 1:18-25). Celebrate Mass in St. Catherine’s Church and gaze out over Shepherds’ Field, where the angels first proclaimed the Good News.
