Then we will visit Gil-Gal – a totally unique, messianic Jewish centre for evangelism where we will hear a Jewish evangelist speak. You will witness an evangelist with a great passion for reaching out to the Jewish people with the message that Jesus is Lord. Then on to Caesarea trough the Mediterranean Coast and seashore. This is where Peter went in Acts 10-11 by the command of the Lord and because of this many were baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the first time. This will be followed by our late afternoon arrival to a 4-star hotel in Tiberias. Arrive at hotel, dinner and overnight.
We will then find ourselves in the “holy triangle” which is a very small area where Jesus performed a great portion of His miracles. First, we will visit the mountain of Beatitudes where we will hear a sermon regarding the content of the Sermon on the Mount (Ma8 5-7) and its relationship to the Jewish law. Then we will journey to Tabgha; the place where the resurrected Christ met the apostles. Here we will reflect on the leader’s calling to love Jesus more than anything else. Then we will engage in a thorough teaching on site about Capernaum- the village of Peter where Jesus had his base during his time by the lake of Kinereth. Then will have a traditional St. Peter’s Fish lunch. In the afternoon we will travel by boat on the lake.

Here we will reflect on the idols in our life and pray for protection for Israel’s borders. Then we will move on to Caesarea Philippe where Jesus asked his apostles who they thought that He was. Here He will ask us, leaders, the same question! The trip back to Tiberias travels alongside the Syrian border and we will teach about Israel today and the turbulent situation in the Middle-East. We finish the day by Yardenit- a holy site by the river Jordan where we teach about the baptism of Jesus connected to our baptism.

In the afternoon, we will travel on to the Ein Gedi which is an oasis with beautiful waterfalls in the midst of the desert. We will reflect on the themes of desert and oasis in our lives. Then we will build an altar in the midst of the desert upon which we will celebrate communion. We will then check in at our hotel at the Dead Sea for dinner and overnight.
We will start our day on the south side of the temple wall where we will have our morning prayer on the very stairs to the temple where Jesus Himself has walked. Then we will walk through the unique ruins that are from the temple compound of Jesus’ time. For example, we will walk through a 2000-year-old market bordering the temple wall. Then we will look at the “Mikveh” where the first baptisms in Acts 2 may have taken place! Then we will experience a computer-animated interactive walk-through of the temple in the times of Jesus at the Davidson Center.

After this, we will go to the “temple institute”, where items of the temple are being recreated for the very first time in 2000 years.
