Now, stand in the places where that story unfolded. Philip's House hosts ACTIVE tours of Israel for INFLUENCERS from all nations to make Israeli FRIENDS and return home to a life of huge INFLUENCE.

The Philip's House Difference
A

Activate

HIKE like a disciple. Stand where Jesus walked. Shake the sand from your shoes that the disciples shook from their sandals.

M

Meditate

PAUSE at holy sites. Take five minutes for a miraculous encounter with Jesus. Press an Israeli flower in your Bible pages.

R

Relate

MAKE Israeli friends. See more than the holy land, meet the holy people. Take more than pictures, and leave friends behind in Israel.
