Welcome to yourpaths.net Important Anouncement:
Due to circumstances beyond our control, we are sad to
announce that our Tour to Israel and Egypt, March, 2025
had to be cancelled. Some of our group are now enrolled
in other trips with Imagine Tours. Upon canceling the trip
our passengers had the opportunity to join any other
tour without losing money. We thank the 44 who originally signed up, trusting us to lead you to Israel & Egypt. We will miss hosting our friends on this very special trip.
On another note, we rejoice in a new way forward for Israel. With President Trump in the White House, America's friendship with Israel is already much stronger. We pray for those touring the Holyland today with ITTWorld, and for the cease-fire to hold.
We wish you all "Shalom" (blessings & peace) in all your paths. David & Marilyn
We follow Israel media regularly and I invite you to join me in
praying every day "for the peace of Jerusalem" (Psalm 122:6)
On this trip upon our arrival in Israel, our first night was to have been on the Mediterranean seashore. The next day we would enjoy springtime in the Galilee, where Jesus walked. We would have read the Beatitudes on the mountain where Jesus taught them, seen where Jesus heard the Good Confession of Peter at Caesarea Philippi. So many experiences strolliing through the pages of the Bible and the places where Jesus ministered. We would also step into the Jordan River, and enjoy an amazing float in the Dead Sea at our beautiful resort, picking up a smooth stone in the Valley of Elah and remember David's defeat of Goliath there. Standing on Mt. Carmel where Elijah defeated the prophets of Baal, seeing Jericho walls that "came tumbling down". Visiting Ein Gedi oasis, fortress Masada, and the caves where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found, walking the Via Dolorosa and Palm Sunday roads, standing on Temple Mount, praying in the Garden of Gethsemane and Bethlehem's cave where Jesus was born. Singing Christmas carols in the Shepherd's Fields and having communion at the Garden tomb. Walking the Via Dolorosa, the Palm Sunday Road, and especially praying in the Garden of Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives is incomparable.
Our Egypt extension included a beautiful hotel on the Nile River. We'd would have seen the Pyramids, Sphynx, King Tut's treasures, Luxor's Valley of the Kings where most Pharaohs were entombed. You can click to our Itinerary tab above for the details of that tour.

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.

We followed the Footsteps of the "Apostle to the Gentiles." Of course we read his amazing sermon to Greek leaders of Athens at Mars Hill (Acts 17). Near Philippi we worshipped at the beautiful Zigagti River where Lydia was baptized into Christ.

Our 11-day "Israel and More" tour included the sites in Israel that you've read about in your Bible, plus the world-class Passion Play in Oberammegau, Bavaria that is only produced every ten years. Click on Israel Videos for the fascinating story about the play and much more in the other videos there. While in Munich we visited Dachau, one of the infamous Nazi Concentration Camps of World War 2. 28 of us enjoyed this inclusive trip June 15-25, 2022.
Remember, Bible events happened with real people in real time in real places. On our Bible tours you get to stand in those places. It's like walking through the Scriptures. In Israel we pray quietly in the Garden of Gethsemane, sail on the Sea of Galilee and read the Beatitudes where Jesus taught the Serrmon on the Mount. On our last tour, thirteen were baptized in the Jordan River and several couples renewed wedding vows in Cana of Galilee - where Jesus worked the first miracle of His earthly ministry. Our friend Pastor Hani of the Cana Church prayed over the couples! March 3, 2025 would have been David's 13th trip to Israel. March of 2023 was his eighth trip to Greece.On that Greece trip, one couple was baptized in the Aegean Sea where Paul traveled! Compare tours; experience of your host, airfare from the midwest, quality hotels, air taxes, fees, tips and extras included, you'll see the value of our tours. These are inclusive, fun "field trips." You will love it!
