Encounter the Land, the People, and the Story God Is Writing Today

Hope for Israel invites you to join us on the Experience Israel Tour, a personal journey through Israel that is grounded first and foremost in Scripture. This is a study focused experience designed for those who desire to walk the land with the Bible open, engaging the text in the very places where it was written, lived, and proclaimed.

This tour is not built around collecting sites, but around understanding them. Together, we will explore biblical locations slowly and intentionally, allowing geography, history, and context to illuminate the Scriptures in ways that cannot be grasped from a classroom or a map alone. Each day will include in depth Bible teaching and discussion, inviting participants to wrestle with the text, ask meaningful questions, and see familiar passages with fresh clarity.

As we walk ancient roads and stand in the settings of key biblical events, Scripture will serve as our primary guide. The land itself becomes a living commentary, revealing why places matter, how terrain shapes narrative, and how God’s promises and purposes unfold within real locations and real history. This approach deepens not only biblical knowledge, but understanding of the God who acts within time and place.

Alongside this biblical foundation, we will engage Israel’s modern reality with honesty and care. The land we study is also a land lived in today. Participants will encounter the people who call it home, including Jews who are religious and secular, Arabs, Druze, and others whose lives intersect daily. These encounters provide context that enriches biblical study rather than distracting from it, helping us understand continuity, tension, and responsibility.

We will also create space for thoughtful conversations around complex issues such as security, borders, Judea and Samaria, and the Golan Heights, always approached through the lens of Scripture, history, and lived experience rather than slogans or headlines. Participants will hear firsthand testimonies from families affected by terror, offering sobering insight into the human cost behind biblical and political discussions.
