Host a Tour
Inviting your congregation to the Holy Land—where Scripture comes alive.
The Experience
Seeing the Bible in Full Color
On your trip to the Holy Land, two things will be forever changed: you and your connection to the Bible. Visiting places you've only read about will be like seeing Scripture in full color for the first time.
Standing where Jesus stood, touching waters He touched, and seeing the land where His miracles were performed will deepen your understanding of what you know to be true. This trip is designed to inspire, renew, and revive—and to connect you to the Bible in a new way that will inform your teaching long after you return home.
With years of experience guiding customized trips, our hope is to create a safe experience that leaves you refreshed and inspired.

Speaking with Experience
As a pastor taking my first group to the Holy Land, I was so thankful to have the Travel with Friends team helping me every step of the way. They were amazing from the day we picked the date to the day we returned. We loved the support staff, the guides, the accommodations and the travel arrangements. Highly recommended!
Allen Morton

All of our questions leading up to the trip were thoughtfully and completely answered. The tour guides were knowledgeable, experienced and personable. There is no one word to sum the experience up; it was meaningful and spiritual. If you have the chance to travel with Friends, do not pass it up.
