Unique Holy Land study tour 2013

Salaam, Shalom and Hello. I’d like to personally invite you to a special unique study tour of the Holy Land, taking place from 21 to 30 October 2013.

What makes this tour unique?

First of all, most tours of Israel/Palestine focus much more on the past than the present. While it is fascinating to visit historical sites such as the Via Dolorosa, the Pool of Bethesda and the Garden Tomb – and our tour will go to many places like these – it’s equally exciting to visit sites that are significant to people living in the Holy Land today. On our tour, we will visit places like the bustling city of Haifa as well as the settlements and a refugee camp. We’ll also meet politicians and human rights workers.

Secondly, this tour will help you go behind the headlines. You’ll meet and pray with Palestinian Christians and Messianic Jews as well as people who are working for reconciliation within the Middle East. In doing so, you’ll gain a greater understanding of the current climate in the Holy Land and the people living there.

Perhaps the biggest difference between our tour and some others is our heart for mission. CMS has a network of longstanding friendships and connections in the Middle East. I think you’ll enjoy meeting some of our partners. As you get to know them, it will help fuel your prayers for peace in the Holy Land.
