FOR PASTORS & TRIP ORGANIZERS
Bring your congregation to the Land of the Bible
Church journeys planned with you, verse by verse and day by day, from a home group of eight to a congregation of sixty.
SHEPHERDING THE SHEPHERD
You lead the flock. We handle the land.
Leading a church trip is two jobs at once: the spiritual one you were called to, and a logistics job nobody warned you about. Our part is the second one, so that when your group stands on the Mount of Beatitudes, you are their pastor, not their travel agent.
We have guided church groups through Israel for more than twenty years (congregations of forty-five and sixty among them) and we plan around what a church journey actually needs: time to read and pray at the sites, a pace that honors the oldest traveler in the group, baptism at the Jordan arranged in advance, and evenings that leave room for worship and reflection.
- A licensed guide who reads Scripture on site and knows when to step back and hand you the moment
- Group logistics handled: vehicles sized to your group, help finding hotels along the route, site reservations and line-skipping where possible
- Baptism services at the Jordan, communion moments, and Sunday worship coordinated with you in advance
- Guiding and transport planned together, easy to present to your congregation
- A planning call with the pastor before anything is booked. The itinerary is built around your teaching themes
HOW GROUP TRIPS WORK
From first conversation to wheels down
Tell us your rough dates, expected group size and the journey you want your congregation to have. We reply personally within a day.
We draft a day-by-day plan around your teaching themes, and revise it with you until it preaches.
You present a finished plan. We help with the details as your numbers firm up.
Your group lands; the guide and vehicles are waiting. You shepherd; we navigate.
WHAT TRAVELERS SAY
From groups who traveled with us
“Dina was quite accommodating with our large group of 45 folks. We were able to do/see all that Dina had scheduled for us in the Holy Land and in addition we were given opportunities to kind of go off of the beaten path, which is icing on the cake.”
“Dina Horn was the tour guide for our group of 60 people! She did an amazing job. She was always early, very knowledgeable and well known at the places we visited. Dina is well versed in both Scripture and history which made us have a lot to take in!”
“I went with my church [...]. Dina Horn is an awesome tour guide and was very knowledgeable. She was early and made sure we were always together as a group and knew all the history in all the sites we visit.”
