Walk the ancient paths, 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 on Family Research Council’s third trip to Israel on June 2 – 12, 2020. Our previous tours were described as “priceless,” “exceptional,” and “beyond amazing,” and we expect this one to be even better. Not only will your faith deepen, but you will gain a better understanding of Israel’s important role in current geopolitical affairs as you hear from some of Israel’s leaders.
Joining us on the trip: Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Jerry Boykin, FRC’s Executive Vice President, former Commander of Delta Force and former Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, as well as former Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, who served on the House Intelligence Committee. We have already invited David Friedman, and rocket scientist Ari Sacher, Project Manager for Iron Dome. Worship and ministry of the Word will be foundational throughout our time together.
Whether you’re sailing on the Sea of Galilee, looking across the Mediterranean from Caesarea where Paul was imprisoned, standing at 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. You will relive the final earthly days of Jesus as you pray in the Garden of Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives, look upon Golgotha and stand in 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 joining us for this unique life-changing experience.
Standing (Eph. 6:13)
