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. On our Bible Lands tours we stand in places where these events took place. 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 His first miracle at a wedding. Pastor Hani of the Cana Church prayed over the couples!

Our April tour to Greece was unforgettable.
Beginning in Thessaloniki, then to Philippi,
where Lydia became the first Believer who
came to Christ in Europe, and Paul's team
led a jailer & family to Christ after midnight!
From there we traveled south to Athens and
our three-day cruise to Mykonos, Ephesus,
Patmos, Santorini & Crete. We were blessed
to share in two baptisms 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.
