Theme
"In the Light of Jesus: Pilgrimage to the Holy Land" is planned as a “disciple’s pilgrimage,” following in the footsteps of Jesus not only to understand the Gospels and the early church in their historical, geographical, and cultural context, but also to increase our commitment to wholeheartedly respond to His invitation to “Follow Me.” It will focus on visiting New Testament sites in Galilee, along the Jordan Valley, and Jerusalem.
