The Experience

Learn what it means to live the text

Walking the Text in the Promised Land isn't just a trip or tour to Israel... it’s an experience that ushers you into the biblical story and invites you to walk in the footsteps of Abraham, Moses, Deborah, David, Elijah, Isaiah, Jesus and the rest of the faithful servants that God invited to play a role in His unfolding story of human history.

It’s the chance of a lifetime to see the Bible unleashed in ways you’ve never dreamt possible. The text will literally leap off the pages as you read the stories in the places they happened, and engage the world of the Bible in its historical and cultural contexts. Never again will you read the Bible the same.

For you, this experience could change everything! Are you ready to walk?

Upcoming Tours

Walking the text in the promised land

May 1-15 2010

The next Israel study tour leaves on May 1, with exploration in the Shephelah, Desert, Galilee, Jerusalem, and along the Coast. The group size is limited to 30 people, providing an intimate atmosphere. This trip embraces the rabbinical approach; you will not know ahead of time where we’re going or when we’re getting there. Life is about the journey, and not simply the destination. While on the trip, days will begin early in the morning to maximize our time, and each day will include moderate to strenuous walking and hiking as we seek to better understand the Bible with not only our heads and hearts, but also our feet. Trip cost includes roundtrip airfare from Detroit, hotel accommodations, breakfast, lunch and dinner each day, and all on-the-ground costs.
