Imagine. The Sea of Galilee. At David's Harp.

Three minutes of rest by the water, filmed at the David's Harp Resort on the Galilee. This is the pace of a Philip's House retreat. Press play and see for yourself.

The Philip's House Difference

More than a tour. It's a retreat in Israel.

A tour looks at places. A retreat restores people. Three words shape every day we spend in the land.

Activate

Hike like a disciple.

Walk the shorelines, hillsides, and old stone steps with your own two feet. The Bible's natural world opens up when you move through it the way the disciples did.

Meditate

Pause at holy sites.

No one will rush you. Read the passage in the place it happened, sit with it, and pray. Quiet space is built into every day, so you encounter the Lord.

Relate

Make Israeli friends.

Share meals, learn names, plant a tree that stays in the soil after you fly home. Israel is more than rocks of archaeology. It is living stones, people in the land.

Two Ways to Go

Bring your people, or join a retreat.

Pastors and leaders, bring your people. Travelers, you are free to take a seat on a retreat already forming. Israel is possible. You can go.

For Pastors and Leaders

Take your people to Israel.

Bring a group of 15 or more and we design the retreat around your people. You lead. We do the rest: flights, hotels, licensed believing guides, and every detail in between.

Plan a Retreat
For Individuals and Families

Join a coming retreat.

You do not need a group to go. Take an open seat on a scheduled retreat, travel with warm hosts and new friends, and come home with a Bible that reads in full color.

What Travelers Say

People come home changed.

★★★★★

"Philip's House gives you the time to stop, read your Bible, pray and let the Holy Spirit speak. Other tours rush you site to site. Here you soak in the beauty and essence of the land. The Bible came alive and it really is true."

★★★★★

"I cannot put into words how life changing my time in Israel was. Philip's House had all the details planned out so all I had to do was rest in the presence of Jesus. I've changed because of my experience!"

★★★★★

"Philip's House stayed the course with us through every reschedule and cancellation, and guided us through a difficult season until our trip finally happened. I would definitely go with Philip's House again and highly recommend others to do so."
