“The Footsteps of Jesus Experience” is a unique two-week journey to the places where Jesus lived and ministered. The trip begins by exploring the Old Testament roots and the social setting of the Gospels in and around Jerusalem, Judea, and the Dead Sea. Then we follow the course of Jesus’ life from the city of Bethlehem, to the Sea of Galilee, to the north of Israel, and back to Jerusalem for the climactic conclusion of our journey.
Each day will begin with time for prayer and Scripture reading based on our itinerary that day. We will visit the sites with the greatest historical significance that illuminate the biblical account of Jesus’ life. At each site we will offer an overview of the history and archeology and then conclude with a time of biblical reflection and prayer. Each day we will pause at a meaningful place for worship and sharing. The evenings will alternate between opportunities for worship, processing in Huddles, and free time.
The group will be limited to 22 people so we can get to know each other and to facilitate more flexible movement. We will stay in Christian guesthouses within the ancient walled city of Jerusalem and on the peaceful shore of the Sea of Galilee. We visit many sites by foot so participants need to be physically fit and able to walk at up to five miles a day up hills in hot weather.
Before departure you will have the chance to participate in an 8-session online preparatory course introducing the biblical history and archaeology of the sites we will be visiting. The course includes an extensive handbook with hundreds of maps, plans, charts, and site reconstructions, which will become your reference guide for the trip.
Our trip leader is Bob Rognlien, pastor and experienced guide, who has lived in Jerusalem and studied the archaeology and sociology of Jesus’ life. The cost of the trip is 50 per person, not including airfare to Tel Aviv. This includes all your meals and expenses during the trip.
Many people who have taken this journey with us have called it the trip of a lifetime. It is certainly an unforgettable experience that will profoundly shape your reading of the Gospels.
