ABOUT THE TOUR COMPANY:
In 1974 a young pastor, recently out of seminary, fulfilled his dream of visiting the Holy Land. When he returned home, he discovered that this trip made an impact on the way he preached and how he studied the Bible. The next year, the pastor returned to the Holy Land with a group from his church. He was amazed by the transformation that happened in the people that made the pilgrimage. He found that travelers returned and shared the Gospel more, volunteered more at Church, tithed Biblically and were forever connected to each other because of their shared experience. It was out of this revelation that ETS was born.
That young Methodist Pastor, Dr. Jim Ridgway, made it his life’s goal to bring as many clergy members as possible on these life changing journeys. A dream that started in his garage has grown to be the world’s largest provider of Christian Travel. In 2014 Dr. Ridgway passed, but ETS continues to further his dream.
To date, ETS has served thousands of pastors and churches throughout the U.S. and abroad. Many denominational leaders have seen the difference a tour to the Holy Land can make in their clergy members and have organized annual tours with ETS.

ITINERARY FOR JUST THE BIBLE LAND DISCOVERY
DAY 1:
Your pilgrimage begins as you depart the USA on an overnight flight.
DAY 2:
You will be welcomed at the Tel Aviv airport by our representative and transferred to your hotel to enjoy dinner before retiring for the night.
DAY 3:
Begin your touring in the Holy Land by visiting the Herodion, the fortified palace and final resting place of Herod the Great. In Bethlehem, gaze out over Shepherds’ Field, and visit the Church of the Nativity, where the cave revered as Jesus’ birthplace resides in the world’s oldest functioning church (Luke 2). Overnight in Bethlehem.
DAY 4:
Visit Kasr el Yehud, the traditional site of the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist. Stop in Jericho, the oldest known inhabited city in the world. Visit the ruins of the ancient city, which was conquered by Joshua (Joshua 6:1,2,20) and see parts of the ancient city walls which have been uncovered. From Jericho you can see the traditional site of the Temptation of Jesus (Matthew4: 1‐11) and the Judean wilderness. Visit Qumran, site of the Dead Sea Scroll discovery, to discuss the mysterious community of Essenes who once lived on the shores of the Dead Sea. Stop briefly at the Shores of the Dead Sea for a quick dip in the salt and mineral‐laden waters. Overnight in Bethlehem.
DAY 5:
"Explore the Church of the Fish and the Loaves at Tabgha," "traditional site of the feeding of the 5,000 (Luke 9:10‐17). On the Mount of Beatitudes, contemplate the “Sermon on the Mount” (Matt. 5‐7). Visit Capernaum, center of Jesus’ ministry in the Galilee, and visit the synagogue built on the site where Jesus taught (Matt.4:13, 23). Cross the waters of the Sea of Galilee on a very special boat ride, complete with an onboard worship service. In Magdala, once home to Mary Magdalene, visit a recently discovered first‐century synagogue. Overnight in Jerusalem."
DAY 6:
Visit Mt. Zion and stand in the "Upper Room (John 13), near" "the traditional site of the Last Supper (Mark 14). Walk through some of the ancient rooms of Caiaphas the High Priest's house beneath the Church of St. Peter in Gallicantu. Here Jesus was held overnight before His crucifixion (Luke 22). Visit the Temple Mount, once the site of the Temple of Solomon. Take time to pray at the Western Wall. Sit on the Teaching Steps where Jesus once taught.
DAY 7:
Stand atop the Mount of Olives as Jesus did and enjoy a remarkable view of the "Golden City" of Jerusalem. Forty days after his resurrection, Jesus ascended into heaven from the Mount of Olives (Acts 1:9‐12). Pray in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26) among olive trees in the Kidron Valley across from the walls of Jerusalem. View the Pool of Bethesda where Jesus performed the Sabbath miracle (John 5:1‐18). Sing a hymn in the Church of St. Anne, known for its amazing acoustics. Visit Herod’s Antonia Fortress where Jesus was brought before Pontius Pilate (Luke 23:1‐11). Walk the Via Dolorosa, “the Way of the Cross,” and stand in reverence at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Your final destination allows time for reflection at the Garden Tomb. Enjoy dinner tonight before transferring to the airport for your return flight.
DAY 8:
Arrive home with a new understanding of the Bible, the land and the life of Jesus!
