Join Joel C. Rosenberg and The Joshua Fund on an Unforgettable Cruise to Canada and New England
It is my joy to invite you and your family to join my wife, Lynn, and me on The Joshua Fund’s inaugural cruise, September 28 through October 5, 2019. During this 7-day journey from Boston to Montreal, we’ll have an opportunity to study the Scriptures and discuss what the Lord is doing in Israel and the Middle East, even as we witness God’s handiwork in creation, enjoy the colors of Fall, and visit beautiful places along the northeastern seaboard.
Will you prayerfully consider joining us?
Lynn and I founded The Joshua Fund in 2006 with the goals of blessing Israel and her neighbors in the name of Jesus and of educating Christians in North America and beyond about God’s plan and purposes for the people of the Epicenter. This cruise will give us the opportunity to share with you what we’re seeing God do to build His Church.
With a new decade approaching, many people are asking me what’s in store for Israel and the Middle East? During special sessions on the cruise, I’ll be addressing this question, teaching on “Prophecy and Prayer in an Ever-Changing World,” and answering your questions about Biblical prophecy, and about the spread of the Gospel.
We’ll spend time in praise and worship and following God’s command to “pray for the peace of Jerusalem.” In addition, we’ve invited ministry leaders from the region to join us and share first-hand their stories from the field, including how The Joshua Fund is helping them advance the Kingdom of Christ.
Rather than a typical conference, however, you’ll be traveling onboard Holland America Line’s ms Zaandam, and what a special journey it will be. Every detail will be carefully planned for you by our Christian travel provider, Inspiration Cruises & Tours. Come with us, other like-minded believers, and our special guests from Israel on an unforgettable adventure of learning and spiritual growth, as well as rest and relaxation.
We so look forward to spending time with you. Will you make plans now to join us?

Departing from Boston, MA, US (Saturday, September 28, 2019)
Embarkation: 11:30 A.M.–2:30 P.M. / Depart: 4:00 P.M.
Bar Harbor, ME, US
September 29, 7:00 A.M.–4:00 P.M.
Once a summer resort area for the New England elite, Bar Harbor is now home to both painted and scenic landscapes, equally known for the artists who call it home as for its rich natural beauty. Bar Harbor is the point of entry for Acadia National Park, but in the late 1800s and early 1900s it thrived as an artists’ enclave and vacation destination for the Rockefellers, Morgans, Vanderbilts, Fords, and Astors. Today, tourists visit as much for the opulent architecture as for the scenery.

Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
September 30, 9:00 A.M.–6:00 P.M.
A legendary port during the fall foliage season, Halifax is a youthful college town with a historical waterfront and seafaring history. As home to the world’s second-largest natural harbor, its busy docks attract hundreds of cruise ship visits a year. Visitors come for its craggy coastal scenery, its Titanic-related history (the fated ship was bound for Halifax when it sank), and—despite its size—its small-town warmth.Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada
October 1, 10:00 A.M.–6:00 P.M.
The gateway to Nova Scotia—which is Latin for “New Scotland”—Sydney lies on the east side of Cape Breton Island and introduces cruise travelers to some of the most beautiful scenery in Canada. Once an industrial city until its waning steel factories and coal mines closed in 2001, it’s now a melting pot of culture, architecture, tourism, and stunning landscapes. From the diverse nationalities who live there to attractions like its boardwalk and the world’s largest fiddle, Sydney is a place of surprises.Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada

Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada
October 2, 8:00 A.M.–6:00 P.M.
Once you step foot on Prince Edward Island, you might not want to leave. You’ll love the peacefulness of its rolling green countryside and lighthouses, the wildness of the Prince Edward Island National Park, and the quaint cobblestone streets and Victorian architecture of Charlottetown, its largest urban area. Though still connected to Nova Scotia and the North American mainland by a 9-mile long bridge, the entire island feels worlds away from the bustle of daily life.Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada
