Israel Tour 2022
Join Veritas Academy and Veritas Chapel, in partnership with Navigo on an extraordinary trip to see significant biblical sites in Israel on March 5-12, 2022. Led by our very own Bible scholar and historian Steven Brooks, the tour will be 8 days and 7 nights. Together, we will explore the land where much of Scripture took place. City tours and cultural excursions are included throughout the tour. Each day is carefully crafted to not only provide adventure, hands on experiences, fun, but also a time to reflect and ponder Scripture in guided discussion. Each evening we will gather and reflect on all that we’ve seen and heard together. This is a family friendly trip.
