“According to an article a few years ago in The Wall Street Journal, the Holy Land is “enjoying an unlikely wave of religion-based tourism even as the Middle East’s wars and terrorist attacks scare away most leisure visitors.” In 2014, the number of tourists visiting Israel tripled over the previous decade–from about 1.1 million to 3.3 million visitors. 56% of this increase was represented by Christians.” ~Peter Economy, The Leadership Guy
I traveled to the Holy Land with a tour company and although it was amazing, I felt like I was being herded around from one spot to the next, on and off the bus. So that is why we have designed a more intimate way to see the Holy Land.
In 2018 my son and I walked the Jesus Trail and since we have led many groups. We have met and talked with many of the local businesses and we have been able to fine-tune our Jesus Trail pilgrimage with each trip. Fine-tune it in such a way that we feel we will be helping our pilgrims and the small businesses along the way, giving back a little to the small guy. We know what it feels like to be the small guy so helping out our fellow small business owners comforts our souls.
We do things differently than large tour companies. We will walk a part of this pilgrimage which will allow us to see the countryside and enjoy the land that Jesus walked. You will be able to interact with those who have lived their lives in this Holy place. Those meetings in themselves were unique and uplifting experiences. I will never forget their kindness and encouragement.
We also will give our pilgrims time in Jerusalem. Time to explore, time to walk the streets, and to experience this beautiful city. Time to find that hole-in-the-wall restaurant that has the best Shawarma. Psst, we have a few places to share with you! We have handpicked all the sites, all the places not to be missed, and all the wonder you could want to enhance your journey to the Holy Land. The more nitty-gritty details can be found here:

You could go to the Holy Land with a big Tour Company with three buses or with a well-known author in a huge group and I’m sure either way would be amazing. But our pilgrimages will offer you a more intimate experience of the Holy Land. We believe in our small group experiences; time for sharing, time for reflections, and time for prayer. In other words, time to make your pilgrimage days a special time with the Lord.
With Prayerful Path you will explore all the nooks and crannies and all the caves and dwellings in the countryside. You will sit under a tree in a field watching the horses or cows or the local farmer and enjoying time to rest in the shade. Just like Jesus and his disciples must have done as they walked the countryside.
So if you want some time for reflection, self-examination, repentance, and time to deepen your relationship with God, then join us!
