Three Pilgrimages. One Mission.

Each journey is led by an expert resident guide, theologically framed for evangelical Christians, and designed to transform how you read Scripture.

Journeys of Faith — Holy Land

A summer pilgrimage through the land where the Gospels were written — Galilee, Jerusalem, the Dead Sea, and beyond.

Sea of Galilee

Walk the shores where Jesus called His disciples, taught the Beatitudes, and performed miracles. Study the Gospels with your feet in the same soil.

Jerusalem

The Garden of Gethsemane, the Via Dolorosa, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Upper Room — every step resonates with the Passion narrative.

Dead Sea & Qumran

Visit the caves where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered and understand why the preservation of Scripture matters to every believer.

Classroom in the Holy Land — Digital Course Included

Every traveler receives access to our companion course — six modules of on-site video teaching filmed at the actual locations. Whether you travel or not, you can study the Holy Land like never before. This digital course also serves as the pre-trip preparation curriculum for all Israel pilgrims.

Paul's Footsteps

The first five days follow Acts 28 at the actual archaeological sites — St. Paul's Bay, the Catacombs of San Giovanni, the Mamertine Prison, and the Appian Way.

Reformation Depth

The last five days trace the survival of biblical faith — Renée of France's court in Ferrara sheltered Calvin, and the Waldensian Valleys preserved Europe's oldest evangelical community.

Letters to the Churches — Seven Churches

Stand in the ruins of the seven cities where Jesus sent letters through John the Apostle. Read Revelation 2–3 at the sites where those letters were first received.

Ephesus

"You have forsaken your first love." Walk the marble streets of the largest city in the Roman world and study Paul's letter to the Ephesians at its destination.

Smyrna · Pergamum · Thyatira

Churches of perseverance and compromise. Pergamum's altar to Zeus — "where Satan's throne is" — still partially survives. Visit its ruins and read the letter in context.

Sardis · Philadelphia

"I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut." The ruins of the synagogue at Sardis — one of the largest in the ancient world — illuminate the Jewish-Christian tensions behind these letters.

Laodicea

"Because you are lukewarm…" The famous aqueduct that supplied lukewarm mineral water to Laodicea still runs near the ruins. The metaphor becomes unforgettable when you see it.

Why the Seven Churches Matter

The seven letters of Revelation are not merely historical documents — they are Christ's direct words to real, identifiable communities in cities that still exist. Visiting them transforms Revelation from a mysterious prophecy book into a deeply personal pastoral letter. You hear "I know your works" differently when you are standing in the ruins of Thyatira.
