Why a Retreat?

A retreat, not a tour.

A tour looks at places. A retreat restores people. Encounter God in Israel.

Your people come home revived.

Something happens when a believer stands where Jesus walked. The Bible turns from black and white to color. People shake sand from their shoes that the disciples shook from their sandals. Families and friendships bond over two weeks the way they cannot over two hundred Sundays. That is the difference a retreat makes, and it follows them home.

Israelis know they're not alone.

People in Israel feel alone. God calls believers to "comfort, comfort my people." You share meals, learn names, plant something that stays in the soil after you leave. Your visit says, in person, what no headline ever will: you are not forgotten, and you are not alone. Your people will carry those friendships home too.

A Personal Invitation

Every great retreat starts with a conversation.

Hi, I'm Philip. For more than forty years as a pastor I have watched Jesus change lives, and some of the deepest change I have ever seen happens the moment someone sets foot in Israel.

If you are wondering whether you could really lead a group there, that is exactly the conversation I love to have. No pressure. No pitch. Just a real talk about when you would love to go and who you would love to bring.

Shape It

Two choices start your plan.

Tap what fits and we will bring it into the conversation. Nothing here is binding, it just gives us a real place to start.

How many days do you want in Israel?
What season fits your people?

Israel keeps the Bible's calendar, so its high seasons follow the feasts: Passover, Pentecost, and the Fall Feasts. We will help you weigh cost, weather, and crowds for your dates.

See It Happen

See Places. Touch Lives.

A church from north of San Diego spent a morning planting a tree in Israeli soil. Israel is more than rocks of archaeology but living stones of people in the land.
