Celebrating the 2000-Year Anniversary of Jesus’ Baptism
Israel in Jesus’ Steps 2027
With Optional Extensions to Jordan, Egypt, and Luxor
Walk in the steps of Jesus. . . .
To the Jordan River and beyond.
In A.D. 27, Jesus stepped into the waters of the Jordan River, ushering in His 3.5-year ministry.
In A.D. 2027, you’re invited to journey in Jesus’ steps and study His Word on-site in the Holy Land.
Come celebrate Jesus in the very places He lived and ministered: the Jordan River, the Sea of Galilee, Magdala, Capernaum, Bethsaida, Gadara, Nazareth, Cana, Jericho, Jerusalem, and Bethlehem. Our 8-day Holy Land tour also includes: Joppa, Caesarea, Megiddo, the Judean desert, Masada, Qumran, Good Samaritan Road, and the Valley of Elah, where David fought Goliath.
Let’s celebrate the Son of David, the Son of Man, the Son of God.
