As a pastor, it seems like experience or learning from my time in the Holy Land makes its way into every time I teach and preach.

I wish I was back in Israel right now! I absolutely loved every second of it.

It changed my world!

I really don’t know where to begin as we had such a great time. Each and every day provided new historical facts and the actual sites where the Bible scriptures of events happened. Brad’s reading of the 23rd Psalm as we traveled along was especially moving. Our bus group was completely silent as we listened and appreciated the beauty of the shepherds tending their flocks in the fields reflecting back on the many scriptures we had read on the shepherds and sheep. The last day was once again the confirmation of our salvation through the risen Yeshua and viewing the empty tomb. What a glorious day it will be when He returns!!

I had a wonderful time and experienced such blessings. I’m still excited about what I saw and learned. I hope to go there again someday, if the Lord wills.

We walked through the ruins of the ancient cities where Yeshua walked, floated in the Dead Sea, rode the cable car to the top of Masada, saw the caves where David and his men hid from King Saul, saw the spring where Gideon singled out his 300 men; we worshipped with Jewish believers in Jerusalem, shopped in the Jerusalem Cardo & Jerusalem Mall. We went to the Wailing Wall, Garden of Gethsemane, and Golgatha, we sang praises at the Garden Tomb while listening to the praises of other believers from other countries.

This is just a small sampling of what we did in our seminar. We will treasure the memories for a lifetime. One of the most awesome things to me is that the more we learn about our Lord and the Scriptures, the more the pieces of our understanding fit together. This trip helps bring the big picture into even greater focus. Our faith is like no other! WE have a Living God, and a Resurrected Savior.

Unforgettable!

Words cannot describe how pleased I was with the trip. I have had the opportunity to learn of other tours that were little more than church hopping. With your trip there was a much broader picture for the past, present and future. You touched on history, sociology, anthropology, government, military, economics, etc. offering us a religious context. You packed a lot of information into a short period of time. Your excellent staff went way beyond the call of duty to ensure my trip was memorable.

My time in Israel was eye-opening, encouraging, inspiring, challenging, and ultimately life-changing.

It has been 21 years since my summer adventure in Israel; but it seems like yesterday. I wish I could take my family with me back to Ma’agan and experience Israel as I did. Thanks BII for a lifetime of love for Israel and her people!

This trip was amazing… We saw so much and went so many places and ate a lot of great food, slept in clean comfortable rooms and had great company. The students added a huge blessing in my heart. It was great to get to know them as well. God blessed me on this journey and I’m still learning just how much! Thank you very much for everything!

The whole trip can be summed up as “personal” from our greeting at the airport to Brad and Jeannie opening their home to us, to meeting Gilboa, and even the playful banter with our bus driver. We were well-fed, lovingly cared for, and we felt safe the whole time. Brad’s knowledge of the Word and sites was amazing.

This trip has been a dream of mine and it played out beyond my expectations.

May God continue to bless your ministry and change lives as people experience the land of promise and learn what it truly means to “pray for the peace of Jerusalem.”

We are very glad we did this seminar. The friendships, the fun, the sites are very permanent in our memories.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Israel with your group. Brad was an excellent host, teacher, and guide, and we made some special new friends with the group of travelers.

We had such a wonderful time. I think I learned as much this time as I did on my first trip! It was really a wonderful time. Brad and Jeannie are absolutely wonderful! Everyone falls in love with them both each trip we take.
