Planned Itinerary:

Our journey will take us from the Old Testament sites in the west, to the deserts in the south and east, to the Galilee in the north, and to the holy city of Jerusalem.  Along the way we will walk in the footsteps of Abraham, David, Elijah, Herod, Paul, and Jesus and deepen our faith by understanding their world.  We will grow in our relationship with God and then go out from that land as the disciples did to bring the message back to our homes and community.  Our experience in Israel will continue to enrich our faith journey as the black and white pages of the Bible are filled with color that can only come from walking in the footsteps of Jesus.
