Dear Friend,

In Fall 2025, I am planning a journey to Israel unlike anything I’ve done before. I’ve put together a truly “once in a lifetime” trip that will be limited to only a few. We’ll share wonderful meals, stay in the nation’s finest hotels, and we’ll even enjoy the ride in a luxury coach. Even more, I’m limiting the number of travelers to the smallest group I’ve ever traveled with; we’ll have no more than 28 guests. That allows us to go places, stay in locations, and experience time together that larger groups simply cannot accommodate. Because the seasoned travelers who take advantage of an opportunity like this would often rather choose their own air travel, we’ve left that up to you instead of obtaining group

ticketing. If you’d like any help with your arrangements, however, we would be more than happy to help!

I have been working closely with Biblical Journeys, our travel partners, to curate a schedule that will be second to none. The goal was to offer value in every aspect without compromising a single element that would add to your inspiration and joy. I think we’ve done it!

The total cost for each person is $10,000. This does not include airfare, and assumes double occupancy.

This includes:

- Transportation on the Finest Luxury Bus in Israel. This is not an exaggeration. We’ll spend time every day traveling to places that changed history, and I want the journey to be as enjoyable as the destination! The coach is designed for no more than 35 passengers to spread out, enjoy one another’s company, or recline for some rest.

- The Best Accommodations Available at Every Stop. We’ll stay at three hotels during our time, and all three are highly regarded. I think you’re going to love them. Another benefit: in Israel, many of the meals we’ll enjoy are at the hotels, so the nicer the location the better the dining experience!

- We’ve reserved several private gathering areas for intimate teaching times away from the crowds – including a private boat ride on the Sea of Galilee, and a service at the Garden Tomb. In the twelve trips I’ve led to the Holy Land, I’ve discovered some secrets to beating the crowds when possible at the most popular locations. Because of this smaller group, we’ll be able to take advantage of even more opportunities than ever to feel as though we have some places to ourselves!

- We’ll experience over forty incredible sites over the course of our ten days of travel. I have to tell you: I prefer to share a more general idea of our itinerary through the week, and then have the chance to take your breath away with some surprises along the path each day. Even so, if you’re the kind of person who wants to know the details, I’m glad to pass those along as well.

If you’re receiving this information, it’s because you were hand-picked by me or someone I know well. This will not be a heavily advertised journey, as I want to have a group with just a few great people – like you! Would you pray about coming along? Let me know if I can answer any questions.

Blessings,

Our 3 Hotels:

• Three Nights in Tiberias. We’ve secured rooms in one of the newest and most beautiful hotels in the country. The Gomeh Hotel resides in an incredible location overlooking the Sea of Galilee. We have rooms with a view booked as a part of your stay.

• Two Nights at the Dead Sea. The Nevo Isrotel has been names by both Tripadvisor and Luxury Hotel Guides as the finest hotel in Israel on the Dead Sea. We’ll have access to both spa and sea for some R&R right around the halfway point of our journey. The hotel has six suites available for those who wish to upgrade for an additional $440 per night ($220 per passenger).

• Three Nights in Jerusalem. When you ask a local their favorite hotel in Jerusalem, the answer almost always comes back the same: the David Citadel. The view will be unlike any you’ve ever experienced! We have already secured wonderful Deluxe Old City View Rooms, but if you’d like to upgrade to one of their suites, Biblical Journeys can make those arrangement. The suites available range from an additional $280 per night for their junior suites to an additional $4,800 per night for the Royal Suite. There are a full six varieties of suites to choose from, and Biblical Journeys can share the details if
