Why Go?

Israel is the Land of the Bible. It is the place where patriarchs lived and died, epic wars were fought, prophets revealed the mind of God, and miracles informed us about the heart of our Father. Covenant was first established in Israel. It is that place where Yeshua stepped from Heaven and entered this world in the fullness of time- fully man yet fully God. When you make a pilgrimage to Israel, these things and much more come alive. Your time in the Word of God is forever changed as well. 

All that has taken place as recorded in Scripture would be enough incentive to travel to the Holy Land, but there is much more. You are likely to experience personal life-changing encounters. Many do. Whenever Jesus says, “I will be with you in Israel,” you can expect to experience His Kingdom in unforeseen ways. His presence and power will meet you in places that could not have been predicted. I have experienced it more times than I can recall. You can take this pilgrimage expecting a very personal encounter with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Biblical history and personal encounter are surely enough reason to go, yet there is more. The most important reason to make a pilgrimage to Israel is that God is calling His people to join with Him in what has been at the heart of His plan of redemption all along. He is preparing to restore His people. They need us to pray, to stand with them in this hour, and to love them. Israel will remain at the very epicenter of these last days. When you go, you are sharing in His suffering and in His promise.
