Frequently Asked Questions
What makes these tours unique?
These tours are led by Pastor Bob Fetterhoff, veteran tour leader for more than 25 years. One participant said: “I have long been interested in going to Israel, but I had no idea how the trip would truly transform my view of God’s Word. My trip was both eye-opening and life-changing. It feels like I used to read the Bible in black and white and I’m now seeing it in color. To stand in the same places where Jesus stood and to explore so many areas with profound biblical significance greatly enhanced my understanding and appreciation of the Bible.”
Is it worth the cost?
