Join this Unforgettable Holy Land Tour with Lisa Harper
I’m writing to encourage you to join Meredith Andrews—an incredibly gifted worship leader—and me for a life-changing, heart-wrecking (in the best way) and spiritually revitalizing trip to Israel in 2021. I’m beyond excited!
By the end of my first day in Israel, back in 1998, I was gobsmacked by God’s tangible presence and didn’t want to go home!
I experienced so many aha! moments in Israel. One happened on the shores of the Sea of Galilee when I was sitting halfway up a hill. This was pretty much where the crowd would’ve listened to Jesus preaching the Sermon on the Mount. With a start, I realized that I could hear everything said 100 yards below because the water was amplifying our tour guide’s voice. I turned and saw the ruins of an ancient city at the top of the hill. “Oh my goodness! Jesus probably gestured to that city as He encouraged His followers to be like a city on a hill that cannot be hidden!”
I’ve believed the Bible was true since I was a little girl, but in that moment it was as if I’d been scooped up by God’s Spirit and dropped back down into the middle of a living account of Matthew’s Gospel. Suddenly I knew-that-I-knew-that-I-knew these black, white and red words we memorize and exegete and cross-stitch are the living words of the only true God! Now when I read Scripture, I can see scenes from its stories in my mind’s eye.
I’m delighted to be teaming up with Inspiration Cruises & Tours, which means we’ll feast on gourmet food, relax en route to sacred sites in comfortable transportation and rest in beautiful accommodations. They also work with the best in-country Jewish guides. This Israel adventure promises to be one of the most significant experiences of a lifetime, so please, please, please prayerfully consider joining us; I guarantee you’ll be glad you did!
Warmest Regards,
Lisa Harper

For followers of Christ, a trip to the Holy Land is a once-in-a-lifetime experience in a place that doesn’t just bring the Bible to life but adds a visual dimension to the beliefs you’ve staked your life upon.
