Daniel Carmel, owner of the "Worship Boats", casts a net on the Sea of Galilee, just as Peter, Andrew, James or John would have done, 2,000 years ago! He didn't catch anything on the first try either!
Bible events happened with real people in real time in real places. On our Bible tours we stand in those places.
For example,in Israel we pray quietly in the Garden of Gethsemane, sail the Sea of Galilee and read the Beatitudes where Jesus taught the Serrmon on the Mount. On our last tour, thirteen were baptized in the Jordan River and several couples renewed wedding vows in Cana of Galilee - where Jesus worked the first miracle of His 31/2-year ministry at a wedding. Pastor Hani of the Cana Church prayed over the couples!

Our April '23 Greece tour was unforgettable.
Beginning in Thessaloniki in the north, then
Philippi where Lydia became the first Christ-
follower in Europe and a jailer and his family
were baptized into Christ well after midnight!
From there we traveled south to Athens, then
our three-day cruise to Mykonos, Ephesus,
Patmos, Santorini and Crete. We witnessed
Todd and Lori's baptism in the Agean Sea!
Those on the optional Rome extension saw
the Sistine Chapel (the largest church bldg.
in the world), the Forum, Colosseum, Trevi
Fountain, catacombs and Mamertine Prison
where Paul wrote 2 Timothy. We concluded
our pilgrimage where Paul was buried... just
outside the city walls of Rome.
Hanging out after dinner at our "Olive Tree Hotel."
In Jerusalem, our 2025 tour is also booked here.
