Join this Unforgettable Israel Tour with Calvary Church & Skip Heitzig
In the many times I've traveled to Israel over the past few decades, I've found that there's always something new to see or experience. Visiting the land where Jesus taught, preached, and healed is hard to top.
That's why I'm thrilled to invite you to join me and my wife, Lenya, on our next adventure to Israel with Inspiration Cruises & Tours, May 4-15, 2022.
On the tour, we'll visit sites on the coast and around Galilee, including Nazareth, the Sea of Galilee, the Jordan River, and the Dead Sea. We'll also visit Jerusalem, exploring the Temple Mount, Calvary, the Mount of Olives, and more. You'll experience the first-rate service Inspiration is known for as we travel by motorcoach and stay in some of the best hotels Israel has to offer.
But more than that, my hope is that you'll experience the spiritual life change that so often comes with a trip like this. As you enjoy fellowship with other believers and on-site Bible studies, I believe the Word of God will come alive to you in a way it never has before.
We can't wait to see you there.
