— Philippians 4:6Congratulations on making the rewarding decision to lead a trip to the Holy Land. Organizing and leading a group to the Holy Land is a deeply meaningful experience — you provide spiritual enrichment for your congregation and an opportunity to connect with the Bible firsthand. This step-by-step guide provides practical tips to make your efforts strong, spiritual, and successful.
Planning Your Trip
How far in advance?
A minimum of 6–9 months ahead is required, though ideally 1 year in advance for new organizers. Popular spring departure dates fill very quickly — we recommend starting the conversation as early as possible.
Best time to travel?
Spring (March–May) and Fall (September–November) offer the most comfortable weather and smaller crowds. November through March is cooler; June through August is warmer and more crowded. Call us for guidance on the ideal timing for your congregation’s goals.
Itinerary planning:
Focus on the Christian and biblical sites your congregation values most, or customize with recreational activities and signature itinerary highlights. We can help you build the right program for your group. Explore our tour highlights.
Group size:
Groups of 10 or more qualify for special group pricing and benefits. The larger the group, the greater the benefit — including the complimentary pastor/leader spot available from a certain group size threshold. Contact us for the specific thresholds.
Promote Your Trip
Identify team members, set enrollment goals, and enlist support from your ministry community. The most successful group trips are promoted consistently and with enthusiasm from the pulpit and in every church communication channel available.
Create ads with a clear call-to-action and specific deadline for sign-ups.
Post colorful visuals in your ministry, hallways, and community spaces where congregants gather.
Set up a dedicated table after Sunday services where people can learn more and sign up in person.
Use your church email list to send event announcements, photos from past Holy Land tours, and regular updates.
Share names of participants who have signed up — seeing familiar names encourages others to commit.
We provide a custom landing page and promotional materials you can share across your church’s social media platforms.
Turn Interest into Commitment
Collect names, contact information, and sign-ups from interested participants. Set clear deposit deadlines to convert interest into confirmed bookings — a clear deadline creates accountability and secures your group’s spot before popular dates fill. We require a $200 per person deposit to confirm reservations.
Retain & Prepare Your Participants
Maintain regular communication leading up to departure. Provide detailed itineraries, packing guides, what-to-expect documents, and activity options. Excited travelers share the journey — this builds anticipation and retention. We provide all necessary pre-trip materials and are available to answer any participant questions directly.
Experience the Holy Land Together
Walk where Jesus walked. Stand where the disciples stood. Float in the Dead Sea, sail the Sea of Galilee, pray at the Western Wall, and kneel at the Garden Tomb. Document the memories, share photos and videos, and lead your congregation in Scripture readings and devotions at each sacred site. This is the journey that changes lives.
Take time throughout each day to reflect and read from Scripture. The sites come alive when paired with the Word — and your congregation will return home transformed.
