Spiritual
Pilgrimage
Israel/Greece 2007
TESTIMONIALS
“This
journey was inexpressible.
When God said, ‘This is a land of milk and honey,’ we needed to see
it to know that it truly is this.
Everything was amazing.
Corinth
held a special attraction:
knowing how everything seemed to focus on worship of gods of every kind;
and how Paul’s ministry must have been one that only God could lead.
Thank you for this, ‘I’ll never be the same again
experience." T Bollinger, Red Deer AB
“Two results of the Trip – a)
Re-energized and expanded my entire faith (Stop wasting time on things
that don’t matter) b)
A new recognition: God works
‘outside of the box’ as revealed in comments from Isaac and Faye, our
guides.”
D Todd,
Oakville
ON
“The journey to the
Holy Land
was very special for me. I love
history, but the chorus says it best, ‘I’ll never be the same again, Since I
walked where Jesus walked, I’ll never be the same again.’
Thank you for this wonderful tour.” E Scott,
Red Deer
AB
“The
Bible has now come alive for me!” E Dark,
Newmarket
ON
“A mountaintop experience that every Christian should experience at
least once in a lifetime! Excellent,
experienced leadership with access to the very best guides in the business
brought the scriptures to life as we walked in the footsteps of Jesus and St Paul."
G & Rev S Genge,
Oshawa
ON
“Wonderful
trip, was very educational, and spiritually uplifting.
The fellowship was great. It
was a privilege to walk the places that Jesus walked, and most of all, the
Garden and enter the tomb where His body was laid.
The New Testament came alive.`` M Ford, Major, St
James
,
Barbados
“Thank
you for guiding our group. It was a
trip of a lifetime. Our Israeli
driver and guide were first rate. Thank
you both.” E Nasar,
Vancouver
BC
“My
memories of this trip – of course, to be where Jesus walked had great meaning,
especially the Sea of Galilee – and the baptism in the
Jordan River
. However, what meant a lot to me
was befriending the couple at the
Dead Sea
. That was my highlight – What
would Jesus have me do?” B Todd,
Oakville
ON
“The trip to
Israel
was everything I had hoped it to be – met all of my expectations.
As I hadn’t been there before, I found my expectations and perceptions
changed as we went along, exceeding what I had previously thought.
Wonderful people – wonderful hospitality.
Very peaceful and loving atmosphere in the country.”
J Vos,
Conestogo
ON
“Thank
you so much for being such wonderful tour hosts. This trip has greatly boosted my spiritual journey.
It has challenged me to dig deep into the Old Testament.
After walking where Jesus has walked, I feel more confident to speak more
freely about Him." D
Davis, Deer
Lake
NL
“Spiritual benefits
from the tour include being enveloped by the sights and sounds that echo back
through the millennia to the times when historical figures walked where we stood
and proclaimed insightful messages and interacted with the people in such a way
that we imbed such stories in our minds and reflect on them in our daily lives.
To have guides who have a keen awareness of the significance of the geography
and topography of places we visited present insights along the pilgrimage
highways and byways makes one appreciate the significance of each mile travelled
and stops along the way. To interact with the indigenous peoples was as
invigorating as capturing architecture in the minds eye and on film or disc.
Flexibility to visiting sights was advantageous so as to not get entangled with
other groups with similar agendas. This gave us some time to pause and reflect
or meditate at the sites we visited...” J
Leonard,
Brownsville
TX
“Fifteen
days produced more memories and adventure than I could have possibly imagined.
The written word does not do justice to the experience.
I have come home with renewed faith.”
Beattie,
Oshawa
ON
“This
trip has been everything expected and more, and I thank you both for allowing me
to be a part of it. P.S.
See you in 2009.
J Wisdom,
North York
ON
“I
thank you for a great time of walking and being where our Lord was born and
traveled. Hopefully I can be a
better disciple for him through this time of learning and walking in his
footsteps. God bless you both and
your outreach.” M Orland,
Prince George
BC
“Thank
you for plans that helped us to see the Lord’s work in the Promised Land.
There is so much pagan glitter; we pray
Israel
will not again fall short of God’s great care.
We had a good team. The
accommodations were very good. Our
Lord really, really blessed us all in a safe trip.
Healthy, happy, caring and sharing trip.” T Orland,
Prince George
BC
“Words
cannot describe what this trip has meant to me.
It has been simply amazing. I
truly believe that all Christians, if at all possible, should make this trip to Israel
at least once.” A Dark,
Newmarket
ON
“What
an awesome trip! The
Sea of Galilee
, the Garden Tomb became real, not just a story.
Truly amazing.” C Smith, North York ON
“Studying
the Bible helps a person to grow as a Christian.
However, visiting the
Holy Land
provides new meaning to the Word. “When
you walk where Jesus walked, you will not be the same.”
A Smith,
North York
ON
“It’s
been quite an experience. It’s
impossible to express your feelings of the Holy Lands – everyone needs to
experience this journey for themselves. Our
tour of
Greece
was awesome! Thanks to Woody &
Sharon who made this all possible for us – excellent leaders!”
Mary Broadbridge,
Tumbler Ridge
BC
“I’m
not usually unable to find words to express how I feel, but this is where I am
right now. This has been the best
trip ever, and I want to thank you both for all that you have done.”
M Wisdom,
North York ON
“Our
tour of
Israel
&
Greece
has been terrific – an experience I will never forget.
Our leaders, Woody & Sharon, have been wonderful.”
“This Holy Land Tour has been a lifetime dream
fulfilled! Truly we can say we’ll
never be the same again!” What an
awesome experience, to walk the very same steps Jesus walked!
Since our group leaders, Sharon & Woody, have travelled extensively
in the
Middle East
, they had a good understanding of Middle Eastern culture and were always
willing to chat with us!”
B & T Blackmore,
Labrador
City NL

indescribable experience to share my faith in the service on
Galilee
Sunday morning. This pilgrimage was
‘simply priceless!’"
F Almassy,
Red Deer
AB
“Besides being a real
life history lesson, our tour was mainly a lesson in faith, hope and community
and I was reminded that the Love of God will always protect me. God is great!”
E Almassy,
Red Deer
AB
“It was a wonderful experience to walk in the
footsteps of Jesus. The guides and hotels were excellent.
I would strongly recommend this tour to others!”
A Burkett,
Calgary
AB
“What
an exhilarating experience! I will read the Bible with a fresh
perspective. I have such vivid
pictures in my memory of places of importance in the life and crucifixion of
Jesus. Thank you for your leadership and the way you
took care of every detail of planning. I will not hesitate to
recommend this tour of the Holy Land and
Greek
Islands
to anyone who shows an interest in future tours. I particularly enjoyed
the fellowship with others and intend to keep in touch.”
