From President Lillback:
Our pilgrimage will take place October 19th – 31st, 2014. We will have almost two weeks to take in the history and traditions of this ancient and sacred land. We will see places in Jordan like Mt. Nebo, the place of Jesus’ baptism on the Jordan River, (believed to be the original Baptismal site by most Biblical and Archeological Scholars). We will visit Jerash (a Decapolis city and one of the most complete Roman ruins in the world), The Dead Sea, and Petra - a World Heritage Site, an amazing site for all who experience it. In Israel, we will start in Caesarea Maritima, a completely man-made harbor city of Roman times where Paul argued his defense before King Agrippa. We will stay in Tiberius right on the Sea of Galilee, and visit Cana, the Crusader’s Acre, and Nazareth. We will sail on the Sea of Galilee to Capernaum. We will see all the places in Israel that are at the heart of our faith: Caesarea Philippi, Mt. Tabor, Bethlehem, and of course, Jerusalem, where we will have our longest stay, based at a wonderful hotel just outside the walls of the Old City.
Our journey is designed for you to experience Israel in an affordable yet comfortable way. All arrangements are being made by Connoisseurs Tours, a company that has been hosting tours for seminaries for over 35 years.
