Caribbean Cruise with MercyMe

Loved hearing the back story about how the songs were created and the meanings behind the words. Can't wait for the new album to be released! We loved watching your families and seeing their enthusiasm about the music.

Diverse lyrics & melodies rich in God’s promises, encouraged me to seek him more

TRAVEL EXPERIENCE WITH INSPIRATION:

Caribbean Cruise with MercyMe

“The best week of my life” 2015 Mercy Me Cruise I found new & hidden springs of joy by rejoicing in God with fellow brothers & sisters. His command to “Rejoice and again I say Rejoice”, is so good and right for His people’s welfare that I should do it more often. We aren’t really happy unless we are enjoying Him. For in His presence is fullness of joy & at His right hand are pleasures forevermore. (Psalm 16:11) Bringing to mind and to heart God’s loving benefits thru the artists and preachers brought real hope that my soul was thirsting for. (Lam 3:21-26) Diverse lyrics & melodies rich in God’s promises, encouraged me to seek him more, as I often mediated on them throughout the day. Having the artists & preachers share their personal and faithful struggles made much of God’s powerful love from perspectives that I had not considered before. God really does inhabit the praises of His people. (Psalm 22:3) The Inspiration Cruise staff was so joyful and helpful throughout the trip. Mange Tusen Takk! (Many Thousand Thanks – Norwegian)

It makes the Bible come alive, and it is much easier to picture and understand what the Bible is saying.

TRAVEL EXPERIENCE WITH INSPIRATION:

Israel Tour with The Joshua Fund

Going on the Prayer and Vision Tour of the Holy Land with Joel Rosenberg was our “trip of a lifetime”; we had wanted to go to Israel for years. It makes the Bible come alive, and it is much easier to picture and understand what the Bible is saying. As an example I have included a picture of us on the Mount of Olives in the Garden of Gethsemane with the Eastern Gate of the Temple Mount framed in the background between us. This is one of our favorite pictures. We strongly encourage our friends to consider Inspiration Cruises if they are planning a trip to Israel. The food, transportation, and lodging were great, and we didn't worry about any entrance fees, or tipping; the only thing we worried about was making sure we were on the bus by 7:30 AM, ready to be blessed with another day of touring the land of the Bible.

I had tears streaming down my cheeks as I left the cruise ship. (Really!) So grateful that I was able to go...

TRAVEL EXPERIENCE WITH INSPIRATION:

Caribbean Cruise with MercyMe

I went on the very first MercyMe at Sea cruise [in 2015]...I have to say, Inspiration Cruises is professional, truly faithful, and fun! This was my best vacation EVER and it started with the first call for my reservation. I had tears streaming down my cheeks as I left the cruise ship. (Really!) So grateful that I was able to go and I hope there is another trip in the near future. I will be onboard if there is! Thank you!

It was such an extreme and amazing blessing.

TRAVEL EXPERIENCE WITH INSPIRATION:

Alaska Cruise with Gaither Homecoming

Wanted to say thank you to your entire team. I was able to take my mom on three cruises with the Gaithers before my mom was diagnosed with dementia. It was such an extreme and amazing blessing. Love the Gaithers and your people were amazing. So kind. Enjoyed it so much.

TRAVEL EXPERIENCE WITH INSPIRATION:

Israel Tour with Turning Point Ministries

Can't express enough what an amazing experience this was for me. Attention to detail is an understatement. The scheduling and handing of the places of interest, transport from airports and hotels, dining, educational and interested tour guides - all we're perfectly orchestrated to maximize every moment of this adventure. Through this I've not only grown in experience but also in knowledge. I didn't expect to feel more anchored in God's Word but I certainly do. I have been blessed to have this experience of the Holy Land and I thank all involved for making it so wonderful! It's obvious that many hours and many laborers work together to make it all happen. I hope you all feel a sense of pride for doing such a great job that in it's end blesses the lives of so many! This ole gal from Mississippi will never be the same! Shabbat shalom!

"It was week of fellowship with new people from around the world."

TRAVEL EXPERIENCE WITH INSPIRATION:

Alaska Cruise with In Touch Ministries

We recently went on the cruise with Dr. Stanley and his son, Andy. It was week of fellowship with new people from around the world. The ministry was outstanding and the Christian music was unlike anything we had experienced. The staff of Inspiration took good care of us throughout the week and made sure any questions or requests were promptly addressed. ...A wonderful week in our "Walk of Faith" that will be remembered for a lifetime.

There are no words to describe that first glimpse of Jerusalem. I will carry it always with me in my heart.

TRAVEL EXPERIENCE WITH INSPIRATION:

Israel Tour with Precept Ministries

We booked this trip expecting it to be wonderful, but it was so much more than that. First of all, every detail was meticulously worked out. The trip was flawless. Our guides were among the best in Israel as were the bus drivers. (And they managed to do all of this while President Trump was in Jerusalem staying only a block or two away from us!) There are no words to describe that first glimpse of Jerusalem. I will carry it always with me in my heart. Kay's and David's teachings were timely, spiritually challenging, and Biblically related to the sites we were visiting. Just when we thought things couldn't possibly get better, the next day would be equally amazing! We have already paid our deposit to return in 2018. Also, I should add that the accommodations at Gai Beach in Tiberias as well as the Inbal in Jerusalem were excellent. The food was excellent. Kay and David have done this so many times that they know what to do, where to go, and what to avoid. Also, a word of praise is due Inspiration Tours for their ability to make everything flow seamlessly and provide an excellent tour to their patrons. Many friends asked if we felt safe while we were in Israel. The answer is that we felt totally safe. God blessed us beyond our wildest imaginations with this tour, so much so that we can hardly wait to do it again! One bit of advice if you plan to go: take good walking shoes and more capris for ladies than shorts. When visiting the holy sites you need capris and shirts with at least short sleeves (or a sweater, shrug, etc., to wear over sleeveless items). It's also nice to have a couple of dresses, skirts, etc., to dress up a little for dinner. Just a helpful packing tip....
