Seeing Jesus in the Land of Israel
June 2-9, 2020
"Jesus, we want to see you."
Come to Israel and see where Jesus walked! Come and dip your feet in the cool waters of the Sea of Galilee. Come and pray in the Garden of Gethsemane. Come and worship where He calmed the storm. Come and sit in the synagogues where he taught his disciples. Come and walk the path that leads to Calvary. Come and see where the One we call Lord and Savior lived, died, and rose again! Next summer, we're looking forward to traveling to the place where it all happened. Come and join us as we walk in His steps and pray together, "Jesus, we want to see you".

Trip Hosts
COREY & ALISHA TREVATHAN
Corey serves as the Preaching Minister for the Riverside church of Christ. He has been in ministry for more than 20 years and has a passion for seeing scripture come alive in the hearts and lives of people. What better place to experience that than in the Holy Land! Last year, Corey and Alisha traveled to Israel for the first time and since then have been excited about the opportunity to lead a group to see the places where Jesus lived, loved, and showed us what God is like!
We will be joined by Yo’el Berkowitz as our tour guide in Israel. Yo’el is not only a top-notch tour guide, but he’s also a Jesus follower. You will be blessed as we not only learn about the land and see where so many things we’ve read about all our lives have happened, but we’ll also have the opportunity to pause along the way to pray, worship, and celebrate what God has done!
