Join Colorado friends from Colorado Springs and Grand Junction as we pilgrimage to Israel
March 18-28, 2028
We welcome you to a 10-day pilgrimage to Israel in a fun and sacred atmosphere with Colorado friends. Up to 45 people will be included in this group. Singles are welcome too, and we suggest you recruit a friend to enjoy this trip with you. We will enjoy nice tourist-class hotel accommodations and delicious meals with room to spread out on our modern coach. Our days will be full, rich and slow experiences for your senses, with spacious time on sites while we connect with God and each other in spiritual formation exercises and guided reflection times. Our aim is to facilitate deepening friendship with Jesus and provide the connections in the land that will take your Bible reading from black and white to living 3-D color, forever! If you are joining us from the rescheduled October 2026 group trip, we have made some exciting itinerary changes and added a nicer hotel experience in the Galilee, so be sure to check it out.
