Join leaders Amy Hendrick and Barbara Gatta of Central Texas, on an unforgettable journey to the Holy Land. This tour is not affiliated with any church denomination, but is for all who are in the community of faith in YHVH through our Messiah Yeshua (Jesus). Amy's degree in Middle Eastern Studies with minors in Hebrew and Jewish studies lend insight to the Hebraic origins of the early believers' worship. Barbara's four visits to Israel has given her a deep love for the Holy Land and her people. The itinerary includes important Holy sights, national historic sites and towns for the return traveler. Come share in this pilgrimage and experience how the Scriptures come alive as you see firsthand what you have only read about!
