1 Journey... of a Lifetime Walk in the footsteps of Jesus and experience your faith on a deeper level! October 16-29, 2018 Steve & Barbara Wingfield, Tour Hosts Be in prayer for your own journey and reserve your spot today! Call (800) Testimonies from recent participants of the 2017 Holy Land Tour I have been on many trips and vacations before This time was not a trip but a true journey that gave me a glimpse into the life of Jesus as He lived on Earth. This was a journey that I wish everyone could have the opportunity to participate in. I learned to love Jesus more after visiting where He was born, raised, ministered, and saved souls. I wish soon to take my children and grandchildren on the same trip with Steve.

You can travel in a horse-drawn carriage if walking is a concern, or on foot through the deep and narrow passages which occurred naturally, carved years ago by erosion. The Treasury finally appears magnificently in view after emerging from what seems like a hundred turns in the ravine. We then begin the exploration of what both the Nabateans and Romans left to be witnessed. Overnight and dinner will be at the Movenpick Petra.
