You will never be the same again.

Why not join the Book of Revelation 2013 Tour

This more than just another ‘holy land tour;’ it is a pilgrimage of distinction because of its three fold aim;

 Distinctive Information: Book of Revelation Tour 2013, where the Bible becomes the ‘textbook’ and the Land of the Bible becomes the ‘classroom.’ Dr Kameel Majdali is an experienced Bible teacher and he will take you on an unforgettable journey.

 Distinctive Inspiration: Because it is a ‘Power Pilgrimage.’ Holy sites will become places of prayer and praise. We will not just be mere tourists, but Christian pilgrims who seek a life-changing encounter with the living God.

 Distinctive Relationships: You are not just going to stare at ‘dead stones;’ you will meet the ‘living stones,’ namely believers in the land. Many pilgrims are greatly moved by their encounter with local Christians. This distinctive combination of information, inspiration, and recreation insure that you can have an unforgettable trip of a lifetime
