Invitation from Dr. Brock,

I made my first trip to the Holy Land in 2013. I was profoundly transformed by the experience. The

Holy Land’s significance to Christianity is unmatched. It is the place of our Savior’s birth, childhood,

ministry, death, burial and resurrection. It is the place to which He will return.

I invite you to travel with me from March 19 – 30, 2017. You can expect to tour holy sites, meet Christian

brothers and sisters, minister to a group of Evangelical Christians through a time of prayer walking and

serving. We are traveling in partnership with Friends of Nazareth (www.friendsofnazareth.org) a ministry

that is dedicated to enriching and enlarging the evangelical witness of the Nazareth Baptist School in the

hometown of Jesus.

This is a tour designed to enrich every believer’s walk with Jesus and expand her or his understanding of

the Old and New Testaments. We will be met by our Christian guide upon arrival in Tel Aviv. He will

stay with us the entire tour and will ensure that our every need is met. All hotels are top rated, four stars

or higher. We will travel by a modern coach tour bus. I will be teaching at points along the tour route.

Mosaic in the Garden Tomb area.

Our journey will include stops:

Around and on the Sea of Galilee to learn about The Ministry of Jesus – Around The Lake. We

will enjoy a time of spiritual reflection and meditation at sights such as the Mount of Beatitudes

Matthew 5: 1-15); Capernaum, the base of Jesus’ ministry (Mark 1:31-38); Tabgha, the traditional

site of the miracle of the Loaves and Fishes (Mark 6:30-44); a drive along the Via Maris where

Jesus fed His disciples after his resurrection (John 21). We will visit the town of Magdala, where

Jesus surely visited, preached, healed and met Mary Magdalene. We will stand in the 1st Century

synagogue where Jesus likely worshipped and taught. Our travels will include visits to the Jordan

River where group members may choose to experience baptism in the Jordan River. We will seek

to understand what the Jewish people of 2000 years ago expected of the Messiah and how that was

fulfilled in Jesus. We will travel the mountains of the region to the most likely place of the

transfiguration. We will ride on the Sea of Galilee and experience the beauty, majesty and mystery

of the area where Jesus spent most of his ministry.

In the hometown of Jesus, Nazareth. We will stop in Cana (John 2:1-12), the sight of Jesus’

first miracle, as we ascend to Nazareth. We will visit the Nazareth Baptist School and explore

Jesus’ hometown, including sights such as: Mary’s Well, St. Gabriel’s Church, the Church of the

Annunciation and Nazareth Village, a 1st Century re-created village giving us a visual of life

3 | P a g e

during the time of Jesus. We will visit Mount Precipice (Luke 4:16-30) and take in the

breathtaking views of the Jezreel Valley. Time and schedule permitting, the group may worship at

the Local Baptist Church which meets in the Nazareth Baptist School. It is the largest of the

evangelical churches in the Holy Land.

In and around the Jezreel Valley. The Valley of Armageddon (Revelation 16:15-16) at Megiddo

is a place that reminds us that God has a plan for the end of days. We will continue to Mt. Carmel

where Elijah prayed and God defeated 450 prophets of Baal with fire from Heaven (1 Kings 18). As

we cross the Jezreel Valley to the Eastern point, our exploration leads us to the Israelite city of

Beit Sh’ean near where King Saul and his sons were defeated by the Philistines on Mt. Gilboa (1

Samuel 31). Beit Sh’ean was along the Via Maris and later became the major Decapolis city of

Scythopolis.

From the Jordan Valley to Bethlehem. We will travel the route that Mary and Joseph most

probably traveled from Nazareth to Bethlehem. We will visit the Shepherd’s Fields Church and

caves where the angel of the Lord proclaimed the Good News of the birth of the Savior (Luke 2:8-

18). We will visit the Nativity Church in Bethlehem. Please note that the church is undergoing

heavy renovations and our activities may be limited.

In the Jewish Quarter – Jerusalem. We will seek to understand Jerusalem at the time of Jesus

as we visit the Model City at the Israel Museum. We will explore some of the places in the Jewish

quarter where Jesus encountered the Pharisees, Sadducees, Herodians and Scribes. You will walk

among the modern Jewish neighborhoods and witness their dreams fulfilled as they return to Zion

and spiritually prepare to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem. We will walk on the original steps of

the Temple (Southern Steps), see the Hulda Gates and learn about a pilgrimage to the Holy

Temple in the time of Jesus. We will see the huge stones that were thrown down from the Temple

Mount when the Romans destroyed the Temple and left not one stone standing upon another

(Mark 13:2). We will join the Jewish people at their holiest site – the Western Wall, which is the

retaining wall of the Temple Mount and situated closest to where the Holy of Holies once stood.

Tour the tunnel beneath the city of Old Jerusalem, along the Western Wall.

Throughout Jerusalem. The group will make visits to the Mount of Olives; Palm Sunday Road

(walk if you like); Garden of Gethsemane and the Church of All Nations; St. Anne’s Church and

the Pools of Bethesda; the Via Dolorosa including the Church of the Holy Sepulcher; cross the

Kidron Valley to the home of the High Priest Caiaphas where Jesus was held and tried by the

Pharisees and Sadducee leaders of the Sanhedrin and much more.

In the Judean Desert, Dead Sea and Masada. We will meander East from Jerusalem to the

Judean desert and along the western shore of the Dead Sea. We will visit Qumran where the Dead

Sea scrolls were written over 2000 years ago. Traveling South, we will come to Masada, the

fortress built by King Herod and the site of the last Jewish resistance against the Romans in

73AD. Ascending Masada by cable car, you will be able to survey the ruins of the fortifications,

waterworks, synagogue, temples and palaces. We will make a stop at the Dead Sea, the lowest spot

on Earth. If desired, you may float in the healing waters. Please be sure to bring water proof/closed

toed shoes as the bottom of the Dead Sea is very rough. We will make a stop in Jericho to see the

Monastery of Temptation and a Sycamore Tree, symbolic of Jesus’ encounter with Zacchaeus.

From Jerusalem to the Ends of the Earth. We will make a morning visit to the Garden Tomb

to remember the resurrection of Jesus and share a special time of worship, prayer and the Lord’s

Supper. We will prepare our hearts to take the Gospel to all Nations (Matthew 28:18-20). Upon

leaving Jerusalem, we will travel to Caesarea Maritima and visit the extensive ruins of Caesarea,

an ancient port city built by King Herod and where he died (Acts 12:20-25). It later became the

seat of government of the Roman governors. It is the place where Peter proclaimed the Good News

to the Roman Centurion (Acts 9 and 25). It was here that the Gentile household of Cornelius (Acts

10) was baptized with the Holy Spirit which reconciled the Jews and Gentiles as part of the family

of Christ. Paul’s missionary journeys departed from Caesarea. We will travel along the coast to the

4 | P a g e

ancient seaport of Jaffa (Joppa), part of modern day Tel Aviv. There we will see the home of Simon

the Tanner (Acts 10:6) and recall the biblical account of Jonah (Jonah 1:3). We hope to behold a

sunset on the Mediterranean before returning to the USA.

I will be teaching throughout the tour. Bring your Bible, camera and your journal. We will have an

Evangelical Christian guide who loves the Lord and loves to share his homeland with Holy Land visitors.

This truly is a trip of a lifetime!

Please read this brochure in its entirety. I look forward to learning that you will be joining me as we

explore God’s Word and walk upon the soil of the Holy Land!
