Start Here

The Bible happened somewhere. The more clearly we understand the places, people, and historical setting of Scripture, the more clearly we can understand what we’re reading.

Preparing for the Holy Land

A study trip to Israel can be overwhelming. There is just so much to try to take in. Those who prepare ahead of time find that they can relax, enjoy, and even remember more than they otherwise would have. Preparing for the Holy Land is designed to help you absorb more by starting before you hit the ground.

Study Trips

Our study trips are designed to help you experience the biblical story where it happened. We combine biblical geography, history, culture, archaeology, and Scripture to make the Land part of the learning experience.

Biblical Geography

Geography is more than a backdrop to the story. Mountains, valleys, rivers, pathways, cities, and borders often help explain what happened - and why.

Historical Geography of the Holy Land

In this recorded 12-week course, we explore the physical geography, historical setting, and biblical significance of the Land. It is intended to get travelers ready for their journey to the Land, but provides a foundation for anyone who wants to know more.

Learn to Read the Land

The Bible often assumes that we know something about the land where its stories unfold. Mountains, valleys, roads, water, climate, and distance all shape the events we read about.

When we learn to read the Land, familiar passages begin to look different. Geography isn’t the center of the story. It helps us to enter the story.
