Just a note of thanks to Mark and Cam for an amazing life transforming experience. You guys far exceeded my expectations, brought me places in Israel and in my life that I desperately needed to go. For a small window in my life I had the chance to walk in the footprints of God's people and see how God uses everyday people to speak his word into our broken world. I hope and pray I can one day take my kids through this experience.

Thanks again for what you've done and are doing for us!

I have been changed because of the teaching which deeply moved my soul. This was a once in a lifetime experience for me. The trip was exhausting but worth it; the hiking was an awesome experience. I think Cam and Mark did well by setting the tone, being friendly to each of us and mingling with everyone at meal times.

God really met me and touched my heart. It was a spiritual journey for my soul. The hiking, although somewhat strenuous, gets your mind set on what Jesus and his forefathers experienced.

JONATHAN R

Far beyond what I was expecting!!! Absolutely first class job. If I was to critique, I would have liked to learn a bit more about the Israel/Palistinian situation. As I have already told you Cam, I would have paid double - trip of a lifetime.

After receiving Christ in my life 25 years ago, I can really say this has been one of the greatest experiences in my Christian life. Thank you for making this possible for me. I go back home wanting to change my world.

This whole trip exceeded my expectations (which were sky high). The last 2+ years were a kind of desert for me - and I was ready to receive what God had to say to me on this trip. He touched me in each session and did a "deeper work" in me. I am excited to go home, read the text through new eyes and impact my world in His power.


Pastor

ERROL R

The trip met or exceeded all my expectations. Being able to visualize many biblical places/areas means that I"ll read the Scripture differently from now on, "seeing" the desert, Caesarea Philippi etc in my mind's eye.

I really liked the questions to ponder and reflect on in my own life. I have also felt a drive to learn more and am excited to be able to picture the sites as I read my Bible.

I enjoyed this trip and wish everyone could come. I've learned a lot from encountering the culture. My Bible reading will never be the same. Honesly, the whole trip was a huge highlight for me.
