Travel to Israel and your Bible becomes new and alive!

I am no palm leaf waving romantic when it comes to Israel and the Jewish people. On the contrary, I am a realist in the sense that history so clearly has proven the fact for us all that the Jews need their own country to feel secure and to prosper. Several times throughout history other peoples and the demon called ”antisemitism” tried to extinguish God's people, and yet as through a miracle the small nation Israel is born in 1948. Hallelujah! The Jews regained some of the land that historically has been theirs! Today Israel is alive – big time!


This will be the seventh consecutive year that I go with Duveskogs Reseservice to Israel, both as guide and preacher. The trip is from Oct 29th – Nov 11th. Counting my honeymoon with Maria and the prayer trip with my SOS leaders in 2002, this will be my ninth visit to land of the Bible. I have yet only scraped the surface of Israel... There is so much to explore, to learn but most of all to experience in Israel!

Here follows 10 reasons for you to come along to Israel this fall... ;)

1) It is simply the land of the Bible. Every page in the Bible begins to move, jump out and call your name! Get to know the Bible in its geographical setting.

2) Jesus was a Jew and salvation comes from the Jews. Suddenly, being a Christian, you understand your Jewish roots. (John 4:22, Rom 11:18)

3) Israel is the meeting point for three of the world religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. You will come home with a better understanding of the conflict in the Middle East, the entire world political scene and the tension that exists between Christians and Muslims on every continent...

4) It is a fantastic combination of both education and vacation. You relax while you learn new stuff.

5) Middle East culture and western influences in a perfect mix. The modern urban multiethnical Israel is a school for the next generation, of the global culture found in Mega cities.

6) As a Christian you will understand ”the End Times, the unreached peoples, and the return of Jesus”. (Matt 24:14)

7) You get friends for life. Different generations, nationalities and both blue and white collar, all join in on the same trip to study, explore, have vacation and lots of fun.

8) Israel is perfect for evangelisation. Invite your seeker friend, relative or neighbor and together visit the historical Calvary, the Garden Tomb, Mount Olive, and the Upper Room. ;)

9) The modern Israel and the Jews need your warm hearted support in a cold, cynical world, full of hatred, murder, and evil.

10) The Mediterranean Sea, snorkeling in the Red Sea, floating in the Dead Sea and baptism in the Jordan River, the food, sunset in the desert, shopping and finally a tan!
