DATELINE: 11:00 AM Tuesday November 26 - Direct from Israel, you saw it first here.

News Update! This morning Israel's Prime Minister Netenyahu said that a cease-fire between Hezbollah and Israel would be publicly announced this evening! This is the best news since Hezbollah began launching rockets daily into Northern Israel (over  a year ago - October 8, 2023). This cease-fire agreement is a dramatic first step and we pray it will hold.  Hopefully this begins to open a way for the over 63,000 Israelis displaced for over a year, and their Lebanese neighbors to soon return safely to their destroyed cities and homes in northern Galilee & southern Lebanon! Israel is prevailing over Hezbollah in the North & Hamas in the south. Please pray for the remaining hostages to be released and that the nation can finally enjoy a sustainable peace. We will be listening to the Prime Minister's address this evening. We also continue through direct Israel media and our contacts there to monitor events in Israel daily as they unfold.  

Unfortunately, a group of our passengers recently requested with their Pastor to officially withdraw from this tour. No longer traveling with us, these friends will truly be missed. By a special arrangement with Imagine Tours and Travel, those that are not in his group will still be able to do our original itinerary on the same dates as a smaller travel group, and at the same price!!  Amazing! We have three spots available. Call me today if you're interested.  Our plan is to depart March 3, 2025 for Israel & Egypt. March is a great season to visit the Holyland - spring, with    a cease-fire hopefully holding and before groups return to former levels in Israel. 

Hopefully in less than 100 days we will spend our first night

at the Mediterranean Sea, then experience springtime in

Galilee.  Read the Beatitudes in your Bible where Jesus

taught them, step into the Jordan River, enjoy an amazing

float in the Dead Sea. Pick up a smooth stone in the Valley

of Elah as you remember David's defeat of Goliath. Stand

on Mt. Carmel where Elijah defeated the prophets of Baal,

see Jericho walls that "came tumbling down".  Visit Ein Gedi oasis, fortress Masada, see the caves where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found, walk the Via Dolorosa and Palm Sunday roads, stand on Temple Mount, pray in the Garden of Gethsemane. We'll visit Bethlehem, the Shepherd's Fields and the Garden tomb.

Our Egypt extension includes a beautiful hotel on the Nile River. We'll see the Pyramids, Sphynx, King Tut's treasures, Luxor's Valley of the Kings where most of Egypt's Pharaohs were entombed.

Our April '23 Greece tour was absolutely thrilling, starting in Thessaloniki and Philippi in the north, where Lydia became the first Christ-follower in Europe, and a jailer and his family were baptized into Christ well past midnight! From there we traveled south to Athens, then our three-day cruise to Mykonos, Ephesus, Patmos, Santorini and Crete.  We witnessed Todd and Lori's baptism in the Agean Sea! Those on the optional  Rome extension visited the largest church building in the world, the Sistine Chapel, the Roman Forum, Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, catacombs  and Mamertine Prison where Paul wrote 2 Timothy. We concluded our pilgrimage where Paul was buried, just outside the city walls of ancient Rome.
