Join this Unforgettable Christian Tour to Israel with Insight For Living and Chuck Swindoll

For thousands of years, no place has been more meaningful to God’s children than the land of Israel.
Israel’s rugged landscape invites you to find refuge in God alone. The fertile valleys remind you to follow your Shepherd to places of rest. Jerusalem’s position at the center of the world announces that God oversees every nation. Visiting the Holy Land is an unforgettable, life-enriching, faith-deepening experience.
Every time I’ve had the privilege to go, I have returned home personally changed . . . really, every time. I want you to have the same life-changing experience!
That’s why we’ve uniquely planned the Insight for Living Ministries 2020 Israel Tour to be a journey of faith. The people we meet, the songs we sing, and the sites we explore have been carefully chosen. We will provide you with insightful Bible-study materials to help you prepare for each site and our hand-picked Israeli guides will bring the significance of each location to life.
All along the way, I will be teaching from God’s Word at biblically significant locations. We’ll worship at the Mount of Beatitudes where Jesus taught His Sermon on the Mount. We will sit in the same amphitheater where kings sat and where the apostle Paul stood on trial near the shores of the Mediterranean. We’ll sail the Sea of Galilee together. We’ll visit places where Jesus proclaimed the gospel, taught His disciples, and healed the sick.
Our hearts will be knit together in one profound experience after another, culminating when we share the Lord’s Table at the intimate Garden Tomb in Jerusalem.
If you’ve ever longed to visit Israel, I urge you to make your reservation soon, due to our limited space. As always, we expect an overwhelming response . . . and I don’t want you to miss out.
So, examine this brochure and imagine walking along those sacred sites. Let’s start planning for the trip of a lifetime together!
Anticipating great things ahead,
Charles R. Swindoll
