Most Frequently Asked Questions

I have a few health issues. May I still go?
There are a lot of stairs to climb, and a lot of walking. Most days we will tour from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm which requires endurance. You know what you are able to do in a group situation. Call Pastor Dave and let him know your thoughts and concerns. If your condition will slow the group down, you might want to consider going another time when you feel better, or, go with a group that has a less vigorous itinerary. With that said however, many of our seniors or those with health issues have done remarkably well because they take good care of themselves and have realistic attitudes about their limitations. For example, you may choose to stay back at the hotel to rest, remain in the air-conditioned bus while the group hikes up a hill, or sit under a shady tree while the group explores a Biblical site.

The Nature of Our Trip

What does the $2405 fee cover?
• All trip expenses, which include:
• Lovely, first-class hotels with incredible views…
• Breakfast and dinner buffets
• • Luxury air-conditioned coach transportation
• All entry fees, tips for guides, drivers, bellmen and waiters; airport taxes and security fees.
• The best guides in Israel to narrate entire trip, answer questions
• Breathtaking scenery: Mediterranean Sea, Sea of Galilee,  Golan
Heights, Jordan River, mountains of Jerusalem, shepherds fields of Bethlehem…
• Jordan River baptisms and re-dedications

Is there anything the trip cost fee does not cover?
The fee covers all expenses and everything except optional snacks, most lunches, personal purchases and other optional activities such as camel rides. Personal expenses such as water, ice cream, souvenirs, photos, etc., are on your own. The breakfast and dinner buffets are quite filling. The feedback we have received from pilgrims in the past is that they prefer more time visiting sites and learning than spending the time in restaurants for lunch arrangements.

Who will provide the Bible teachings on our trip?
Pastor Dave will provide most of the teachings and devotions, with help from other teachers who will be traveling with us.

Will there be any free time?
We have scheduled an entire day for personal reading, studying a possible service project, or additional touring. Dinners will usually be served at 7 pm, and after dinner you will be able to explore local attractions as time allows.
