Short Bible School in Israel with day trips
To be on the spot, with the Bible in hand and with one’s own eyes, following the “footsteps” of Jesus Christ and experiencing the manifold beauty of the Holy Land – this is unforgettable.
A trip becomes even more valuable when one can further educate oneself by deepening and studying the Holy Scriptures on site.
We are currently designing a short Bible school in Israel and will report on the latest status in a timely manner.
