Welcome back. Your plan is right where you left it.

For pastors & church leaders

Awaken Your Church to Israel.

Before you start, first stop.

This is not marketing. It will take more than promotion to get your people to retreat in Israel. You need God's help to fill your tour bus. This is a living plan — build it, pray it, and come back each week to move it forward. Scroll to build your plan.

The heart of it

This is awakening, not advertising.

God has already called specific people to go on your Israel retreat. Your work is to find the ones with the map to Israel in their hearts — and awaken them.

1

This is awakening

God has called specific people to go. Your job is to find those with the road to Jerusalem already in their hearts — and stir them awake.

2

Partner with God

You are working with the Holy Spirit to help everyone God has called to Jerusalem take the journey with you. You are not doing this alone.

Your decision leads

When you say, "Come to Israel — I myself am going," you activate something supernatural.

"I myself am going." — Zechariah 8:21
"Blessed are those whose strength is in you, in whose hearts is the highway to Jerusalem."
מְסִלָּה · mesillah · "highway"
Psalm 84:5

Crank up the heat

Prayer is the engine. Start here — before anything else.

As we say at Philip's House, "No prayer, no Israel trip." It's easy to skimp or skip on prayer — don't. It doesn't take a crowd. Two or three are more than enough. But pray over lots and lots of names, and you'll be surprised what God does.

Inspire yourself first

Catch fresh vision of Israel.

Google "Israel" and most images are negative. Give your people — and yourself — an accurate, appealing picture of the Promised Land. Binge watch these, then share them. Check each off as you go.

The binge tracker

Watch, then embed one in a weekly email or run it before Sunday's message.

Cast a compelling "why"

It's not enough to say you're going. Why should people give their time and money?

Here are reasons other leaders give. Tap the one that resonates — then make it your own.

"A trip to Israel is an investment in your relationship with Jesus that pays dividends for the rest of your life."This is our why
"Israel is not just sightseeing. The Promised Land is where you get vision for your life."This is our why
"The whole church is going to see Israel… through the eyes of those who can go."This is our why
"A trip to Israel is worth a year in Bible college."This is our why
"Most Israelis have never met an evangelical Christian — and they won't until you go."This is our why
"Walking in Israel is like stepping onto the set of the Bible."This is our why

Set a goal — then a stretch goal

Ask greatly of God. Set a goal, then ask: "How could we exceed it?"

One church asked, "What if 5% of our adult Sunday attenders joined our Israel retreat?" Then they stretched it: "How could we sponsor youth and young adults to go too?" That's a goal surpassed by a Big Hairy Audacious Goal.
