Why We Go

The written Word, brought to life.

Over the years Gideon and Irene Levytam, together with their three sons Shalom, Yoav and Nathaniel, have led many Bible tour groups to the land of Israel, as well as to Jordan, Greece and Turkey. Walking in the land of the Bible and in the footsteps of Jesus the Messiah is an amazing experience which brings to life the written Word of God. It is the land which God promised to our father Abraham.

קוּם הִתְהַלֵּךְ בָּאָרֶץ לְאָרְכָּהּ וּלְרָחְבָּהּ כִּי לְךָ אֶתְּנֶנָּה׃

“Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you.”

Genesis 13:17

Alongside the Israel tours, the ministry has also led journeys through the lands of the Brit Chadashah: Greece, Turkey and Italy. The Footsteps of the Apostle Paul tour walks the cities of the letters, Rome, Ephesus, Philippi and Athens, with guided visits at every port and Bible teaching along the way.

This journey will be taken again when enough friends are ready to go. Tell us you would come, and you will be the first to hear.
