Throughout 56 years of marriage our life-verses have been  Proverbs 3:5-6

   "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.

    In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths!"

Since David's first trip to Israel, Greece and Jordan (a college student tour 36 years ago), we have led hundreds to experience Israel and other countries where Biblical events took place. We treasure friendships and lifelong memories, planning and leading these meaningful tours. "Footsteps of Jesus and More" in 2025 is David's 18th Bible lands tour. 

We are happy to answer your questions about any of the Bible lands or our tours.

Wherever life takes you, may God always direct YourPaths!

Your hosts to the lands of the Bible,
