Welcome to yourpaths.net Due to circumstances

beyond our control, we sadly had to cancel this 

2025 Israel and Egypt tour.  Several joined other 

IttWorld tours. (When we did cancel the trip our

passengers could join any Imagine tour through

2026 without losing any money.) 'Thank you' to those 42 special people who originally signed on, trusting us to lead you on this experience in the Bible lands. We truly missed the opportunity to share it with you!      As an aside, I'm currently preaching an original eight-week series based on each of our eight days of touring in Israel. We're transporting our people on a first-person, free, armchair tour. (One guy likes the "free" part especially.) Each Sunday I preach in two locations and the people  in both are enjoying it. Marilyn and I are having a blast! Everyone has the brochure, I wear my tour leader's lanyard, hiking boots, desert vest, tour company cap, & describe in first-person where we were "yesterday" what we did "last evening" and what we're seeing right now, "today".  We love our hotels and the Israeli buffet breakfasts are incredible aren't they! Of course we use our Bibles at the sites. The Sunday Message each "day" is based on one of our sites that touring day. Our tour guide Fares is doing a great job sharing historical and Biblical information all along the way. Our driver Halil is fantastic. We appreciate that he has chilled bottles of water on the bus for us each day. I think Halil could squeeze a full-size, luxury touring coach into a single parking space! Our last tour day, Easter/Resurrection Day, we'll be at Golgotha and the Garden Tomb! As we do on every Israel tour, we'll have communion, the Lord's Supper at the Garden Tomb. As Jesus instructed us, we will "do this in remembrance of (Him)." He is risen indeed - Hallelujah!

On a whole different level, we pray for a positive path forward for Israel.  With President Trump in the White House, America's friendship with our strongest ally is now restored. Travel to Israel is resuming. We pray for those touring there now and for a sustainable peace in the region.            We wish each of you "shalom" (peace and blessings) in all your paths.                                                                      David & Marilyn 

I invite you to join me in praying daily "for the peace of Jerusalem"                                                                                                           (Psalm 122:6)

On this 2025 trip, upon arriving in Israel and being met by our wonderful guide Fares, our first night would have been on the Mediterranean seashore. The next day we would enjoy springtime in the Galilee, where Jesus walked. We would have read the Beatitudes on the mountain where Jesus taught them, seen where Jesus heard the Good Confession of Peter at Caesarea Philippi. So many experiences strolliing through the pages of the Bible and the places where Jesus ministered. We would also step into the Jordan River, and enjoy an amazing float in the Dead Sea at our beautiful resort, picking up a smooth stone in the Valley of Elah and remember David's defeat of Goliath there. Standing on Mt. Carmel where Elijah defeated the prophets of Baal, seeing Jericho walls that "came tumbling down". Visiting Ein Gedi oasis, fortress Masada, and the caves where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found, walking the Via Dolorosa and Palm Sunday roads, standing on Temple Mount, praying in the Garden of Gethsemane and Bethlehem's cave where Jesus was born. Singing Christmas carols in the Shepherd's Fields and having communion at the Garden tomb. Walking the Via Dolorosa, the Palm Sunday Road, and especially praying in the Garden of Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives is incomparable. 

Our Egypt extension included a beautiful hotel on the Nile River. We'd would have seen the Pyramids, Sphynx, King Tut's treasures, Luxor's Valley of the Kings where most Pharaohs were entombed. You can click to our Itinerary tab above for the details of that tour.

Our April '23 Greece tour was absolutely thrilling, starting in Thessaloniki and Philippi in the north, where Lydia became the first Christ-follower in Europe, and a jailer and his family were baptized into Christ well past 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 visited the largest church building in the world, the Sistine Chapel, the Roman Forum, Colosseum, the 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 ancient Rome.
