Friends Forever!

It doesn't get any better than this! Join us for a special trip for Christian singles. Make your Bible come alive visiting scores of Biblical sites in Israel, Greece, Jordan, Turkey and Egypt. Imagine walking the shores of Capernaum on the Sea of Galilee where Jesus based His ministry . . . and standing on the Mount of Olives with the same view of the Old City Jesus had on Palm Sunday . . . or having Bible study in the Garden of Gethsemane . . . and communion at the Empty Tomb. It's unbelievably impacting! In fact, you'll never read your Bible the same way again. After this trip, your Bible will change from black and white to vivid living color. There's no part of your life that won't be enhanced after you've traveled the land of the Bible.

Top Bible teachers will deepen your learning experience as you travel the Holyland. Best-selling Christian author Frank Peretti and world famous Bible teacher Gerald Robison will add color, insight and depth along the way. Singer, songwriter and recording artist Buck Storm will lead worship at key sites like the Sea of Galilee boat ride Bible study and the Empty Tomb.

And that's not all, you have pre- and post-trip options to do even more! You can add Egypt, Petra and the Red Sea on the front end of your Israel trip, and/or, an off-the-charts Mediterranean cruise to Athens, Corinth, Ephesus, Patmos and Rhodes at the end of the Israel trip. Wow!

This is truly the trip of a lifetime-so grab a friend, or let us find you a roommate, and join us!
