Walk the ancient paths and meet Israeli leaders with Tony Perkins and
Family Research Council on this unique Israel Tour
Lawana and I are excited to invite you to join us for Family Research Council’s first-ever Easter season trip to Israel on April 5-15, 2022. While our previous tours were described as “priceless,” “exceptional,” and “beyond amazing,” this will be the first time that we are in the Land of the Bible during Holy Week. Not only will it be an incredible time as your faith deepens, but you will gain a better understanding of Israel’s important role in current geopolitical affairs as you hear from several of Israel’s key leaders.
Joining us on the trip will be Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Jerry Boykin, FRC’s Executive Vice President, former Commander of the U.S. Army’s Delta Force and former Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence. Key Israeli leaders will provide expert analysis of religious, political, and national security issues impacting their nation and the Middle East. Worship and ministry of God’s Word will be foundational throughout our time together.
Whether you’re sailing on the Sea of Galilee, standing in the ruins of Capernaum or Shiloh where the Ark of the Covenant rested for 369 years, overlooking the place of Armageddon, gazing across the Dead Sea from atop Masada, or journeying up to Jerusalem, the “center of the nations” according to Ezekiel, Israel is unlike any other place on earth. During Holy Week, you will relive the final earthly days of Jesus as you walk the path down the Mount of Olives where Jesus entered Jerusalem that first Palm Sunday, pray in the Garden of Gethsemane, look upon Golgotha and have communion at the Garden Tomb. Simply put, when you walk where He walked and understand your Hebraic roots, the reality of His story comes alive in a transformative way.
We are partnering with Inspiration Cruises & Tours, a dedicated group of Christian professionals who have led thousands of people through the Land of Israel. All the details of the trip including airfare, accommodations, travel by luxury coaches and extraordinary guides will be provided by Inspiration.
Please prayerfully consider bringing your whole family and join us during the Easter season for this unique life-changing experience.
Standing (Eph. 6:13),
Meet These Special Guests During Your Exceptional Travel Experience

Guy Cohen grew up in a Jewish Orthodox religious environment where the Word of God through the Old Testament and additional rabbinical teachings was studied. In 1997, the Lord opened Guy’s eyes and he accepted Yeshua as his Messiah. This background and training in the Word have given him a rich knowledge and understanding of the Word of God from a Jewish perspective.
In 1997, Guy and Tali Cohen became part of the Tents of Mercy congregation. Within a few months, the Lord called them to restore the altar of worship to God in the City of Acco. Acco is a city that has been shaped by the Romans, Ottomans, Crusaders, Mamelukes, Byzantines, and British, and fittingly is today home to a brilliantly coexistent mixed population of Jews, Christians, and Muslims. The Old City of Acco is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the oldest ports in the world. They remained at Tents of Mercy from 1997 to 2005 until the door opened and the Harvest of Asher congregation was dedicated. Harvest of Asher is part of the Tents of Mercy network and is called to serve God, Acco and the biblical territory of the Tribe of Asher.
In the over ten years of leading the Acco congregation, Pastor Cohen has grown in faith and in deeper understanding of God’s Word. He has gained valuable insight into the Jewish roots of faith in Yeshua. The Holy Spirit continues to guide him in ministering, teaching and all the challenges of serving in the Kingdom. In 2015, he completed an MA in Messianic Ministry at the Israel College of the Bible, Netanya, Israel.
Today, the Harvest of Asher ministry serves the local Body as well as the surrounding area through various humanitarian aid projects.

David Melech (Hebrew name meaning “king”) Friedman is an American bankruptcy lawyer who represented President Trump in previous business dealings and is a longtime advocate for Israeli settlements. He was an advisor to Trump during his successful presidential campaign. In December 2016, President-elect Trump's transition team announced that Friedman was Trump's nominee for ambassador. His nomination was met with support from conservative Israeli and Jewish American activist groups and opposition from liberal advocacy organizations and much of the U.S. diplomatic elite and Mideast experts. He was confirmed by the full Senate on March 23, 2017, with a 52–46 vote, officially sworn in by Vice President Mike Pence on March 29, and presented his credentials on May 15.
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump charted a new direction towards Israel, Iran, and the greater Middle East. Many of the policies advanced are considerably different from those of previous administrations. A central figure in the advancement of these policies was Ambassador David Friedman.
Highlights of the Trump administration’s Israel policy include official recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital city; the transfer of the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem; recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights; rollout of the Peace to Prosperity vision for Israeli-Palestinian peace, accepted by Israel as the basis for negotiations; and a reversal of longstanding American policy on the legality of suburban settlements in Judea and Samaria.
In 2019, The Jerusalem Post listed him as one of the world's 50 most influential Jews. In January 2021, The New York Times described him "as one of America’s most influential envoys" and as someone "who drove the radical overhaul of White House policy toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict." For his work negotiating the Abraham Accords, Ambassador Friedman was nominated, alongside Jared Kushner, for the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize.
His father was a rabbi at Temple Hillel, a Conservative synagogue in North Woodmere, New York who served as the head of the New York Board of Rabbis. An orthodox Jew fluent in Hebrew, Ambassador Friedman earned his B.A. degree in anthropology from Columbia University and his J.D. degree from New York University School of Law.
He and his wife, Tammy, have five children and seven grandchildren.

Tony Perkins is Family Research Council's fourth and longest-serving president, joining the organization in August of 2003. Described as a legislative pioneer by the national media, Tony has established himself as an innovative pro-life and pro-family policy and political leader since first being elected to office in 1996.
Recognized as the leading conservative and pro-life voice in the Louisiana Legislature, Tony was a tireless advocate for the family. In an effort to address the growing social problems brought about by the instability of marriage and no-fault divorce, he authored and passed the nation's first Covenant Marriage law in 1997, which captured the attention of policymakers across the country.
Keeping his commitment to serving only two terms, Tony had a significant impact on Louisiana politics as a state representative and as a candidate for the United States Senate in 2002. His firm yet empathetic stance on issues and his unwavering commitment to principle has won him the admiration of his allies and the respect of his adversaries.
During his tenure as FRC's president, Tony has substantially deepened the organization's influence on Capitol Hill and throughout the country through his frequent attendance at state and regional political and policy events. Tony has also expanded the organization's reach across the nation by building a major network of pastors and churches, encouraging them to impact the culture by thinking nationally, but acting locally.
In May 2018, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell appointed Tony to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), and in May 2020, Leader McConnell reappointed him to a second term. During his time on the independent, bipartisan commission, he has served as both Chair and Vice Chair.
Tony, who is an ordained minister, remains active in Christian ministries and frequently fills pulpits across the country. He is a board member of Caring to Love Ministries, one of Louisiana's largest pregnancy resource centers. Tony is the immediate past president of the Council for National Policy.
An effective communicator, Tony is the host of a daily, nationally syndicated radio show, Washington Watch with Tony Perkins. He frequently appears as a guest on national news programs and talk shows. In addition, he has been a guest speaker for respected organizations across the country. He is the author of No Fear: Real Stories of a Courageous New Generation Standing for Truth.
A veteran of the United States Marine Corps and a former police officer, Tony brings a unique perspective to the public policy process. In addition to domestic law enforcement, he oversaw the training of hundreds of international police officers as the general manager for a Washington, D.C.-based firm contracted by the U.S. Department of State to provide the training and services in anti-terrorism.
Tony holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Liberty University, a Master of Public Administration degree from Louisiana State University, and was awarded an honorary doctorate of divinity from Liberty University.
He and his wife Lawana have been married since 1986 and have five children.
