"Shalom Greetings" in the name

"Yeshua Ha-Messiach", Jesus our Messiah!

Welcome to my web site devoted to travel to the land of the Bible! It is my pleasure and privilege to invite you in to the world of the Bible and to share my love for Israel with you. Having studied in Jerusalem as a Biblical archaeology student for one year and leading 13 previous trips to Israel, I look forward to sharing my personal ministry with you in helping you encounter a life-changing experience.

If you have found my web site in your search for a Holyland tour, I gratefully extend my invitation to you to prayerfully consider God's leading in joining me on one of my up-coming trips. But whether you feel led by the Lord to join me on an up-coming tour or simply journey through the web site of photos from the land of the Bible, I trust God will encourage your walk of faith in Christ!

Most recently, I returned from our March 4-17, 2008 tour of Israel, Sinai (Egypt), and Jordan. This was a sold-out tour comprised of 52 wonderful believers from all over the country. During each day of the trip, I posted a web site update of the tour in progress, allowing family and friends to follow our itinerary (click on the "Tour Experience" link. As God leads and provides, perhaps these same experiences will be yours someday on a future tour with us.

My next two tours are November, 2008 (Israel & Egypt, my 14th tour, now full, with a waiting list) and March, 2009 (Israel & Greece/Turkey Tour). Itinerary, pricing, and details are listed below.
