A trip to Israel is a trip of a lifetime. And for Bible-believing Christians, it is an
amazing opportunity to see the Bible come alive, to walk in the footsteps
of the Biblical heroes and taste the splendor and awe that they must have
experienced as they heard God's voice. And that is an experience that only a
visit to Judea and Samaria, Israel's Biblical Heartland, can provide. You can
visit Shiloh, where the Tabernacle stood for nearly 400 years, and stand on
the site where the Ark of the Covenant once stood. You can visit sites that
are holy to both Judaism and Christianity, and experience them in their virgin
beauty, much as they were 4,000 years ago.

The Tomb of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs, Hebron Judea and Samaria are also places to connect with modern-day Israel. Stop

place where Amos the prophet was born. Visit the museum in Kiryat Arba

People of Israel and experience its essence – where ancient meets modern
in fulfillment of Biblical prophecy!
