In June of 2026, we will be taking our 5th trip to the Promised Land! It is truly a life changing experience as we see, hear, walk, and pray in the very places we have read about in the Bible! Our tour covers Israel from the Golan Heights and the Galilee all the way down to Eliat on the Red Sea. At many of our stops, we will read and teach from the Word of God and give ample time for reflection and prayer. Woven into the trip are times of relaxation, enjoying the Mediterranean Sea, the Sea of Galilee, the Gulf of Aqaba, the Dead Sea, the Jordan River and the waterfalls of Ein Gedi and Sachne. We will also be touring the beautiful country of Jordan where we will spend the night in Petra. We will rise early the next morning to explore the ruins of Petra, one of the wonders of the world. We will also visit Mount Nebo where we will experience Moses' view of the Promise Land before continuing on to Ammon, Jordan's capital.
The full trip itinerary and related information will be posted once we receive it.

Learn about a mill stone, it is a large, circular stone used in ancient and traditional milling processes to grind grains into flour. Typically made from hard, durable materials like granite or basalt, mill stones consist of two parts: a stationary base stone and a rotating top stone. The grain is fed through the central hole of the top stone and ground between the two surfaces as the top stone rotates. Mill stones have been essential tools in agriculture and food production for centuries, symbolizing hard work and sustenance.
