What will a Holyland trip do for your community and you?

Visiting the Holyland is a life changing experience for each participant in your group. Walking in the footsteps of Jesus makes the Bible come alive in a completely new way.

  • Community buildingAs your church members go through this life changing trip, they are creating bonds with you and the other members in the group that will not be broken when you return home; they will have a profound and long-lasting effect on your community.
  • Fund raising opportunityChurches need funding for the many social projects they carry out in their community. Your Holyland trip is a great way to raise funds for these services, by adding a small fee to the per person price of the trip. Please ask your Israel Pilgrim Tours representative for more information.
  • Special offer for group leader!We realize that leading a community trip is hard work, and definitely not a vacation for the spiritual leader! Therefore, a tour leader who brings at least 15 full paying participants will travel free; additional free passengers are negotiable.

Holyland Articles

There is a debate or rivalry between the Garden Tomb and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher as to which is the authentic site of the burial of Jesus.

Located near the Lion’s Gate of the Old City of Jerusalem, the “pools of Bethesda” supplied water to the First and Second Temples until Herod the Great’s time. Baths and a healing center were located near the pools.

Armageddon

Like other key words in religious and cultural contexts, “Armageddon” is used often in the generic to refer to some cataclysmic event with disastrous outcomes. This makes sense due to the origins in the Christian faith.
