Trips

Has the Lord invited you to follow in His footsteps?
Take the first step toward that here.

Psalm 84:5-7 
​Happy are those who are strong in the Lord, who set their minds on a Pilgrimage to Jerusalem. When they walk through the Valley of Weeping it will become a place of refreshing springs, where pools of blessing collect after the rains. They will continue to grow stronger and each of them will appear before God in Jerusalem.

There are many ways to set your mind on a Pilgrimage. We offer a range of options for first timers. Leaders, we can help you customize a trip that is perfect for your group of at least 6 people. We highly value a more contemplative pace on our group trips. Instead of running from one place to the next and not being able to remember where you are even while you're still there, we emphasize a longer stop with time for us to engage with spiritual practices and have time to engage the Trinity with questions that will build your relationship. We customize the experience with the pastor or group coordinator to include stops that engage all the senses based on the people going. From high adventure sites, to more academic engagements, or leader-development on sites coordinated with the topics to discuss, more discovery of the Heart of God using Ignatian Exercises principles as you walk with our friend Jesus in His land, or a heavier emphasis on interacting with the Jewish people on the street, we advise and work to co-create a perfect itinerary combination of what your group wants to emphasize. 
Because we at Ruth Israel believe it is imperative to stand with and support our brothers and sisters in the faith in the Land of Israel, we partner with Sar-El Tours, a Messianic company based in Jerusalem ("Messianic" means Jews who believe in Yeshua or Jesus) to offer these trips for you.

We take time to uncover the history and modernity of this ancient land, with imaginative heart encounters with the Lord. (Don't worry, we'll teach you how to get started!) and help individuals along their journey of understanding Israel and becoming a friend to Jesus and the Jewish People. Check out our resources page for more information on this vast and compelling topic.

"Life-changing" is the adjective most often used in reviews submitted after pilgrims return home.  Check out this slideshow of some fun we've had over the years as you get ready for your own journey!
