Israel and Other Destinations

The hotel was a top notch place to stay – wonderful place, food, people, internet and the baptism at the Jordan River was an incredible experience…………… Meeting with local leaders, helped me feel appreciated and closer to knowing God’s (Yahweh) Heart. ~SE 5/08
 
My favorite sight was Capernaum because I felt close to Jesus more. It was fascinating to see the home the Lord took to his for 3 yrs. The area was beautiful. My favorite time was in the Pavilion Prayer Tower on Jaffa Street, Jerusalem. The presence of God was so strong, I felt weak. I cried for 20 minutes uncontrollably. It was a time I will never forget. ~MV 05/08
 
All the places we visited were phenomenal but the Mt. of Olives, Garden of Gesemane, and the Jordan River where I was baptized and heard the testimonies of those baptized was touching. Imagine, I stood on the Mt. of Olives where Jesus one day will set his feet. Zechariah 14:4 ~SM04/08
 
"I absolutely loved my trip to Israel. I would go back in a heartbeat. I haven’t stopped telling people how wonderful it was to spend time in the Holy Land. I’m not sure I could pick just one favorite site, because it was all so amazing." ~SD 04/08
 
It has been 3 months since returning and I find myself reflecting back on the spiritual change that I encountered through this trip. Looking from a Hebraic standpoint, the influx of Hebraic and Jewish dispersion gives a reality check when opening the word and reading it. …………………I will never be the same. I am forever changed. ~DS 04/08
 
"Dear Friends:
Our Holy Land trip with JDI was the experience of a lifetime.  Sincerely it was the best and most spiritual trip we have ever experienced.  We have taken several vacations and mission trips. Our trip with JDI was the best of all. The travel arrangements were well planned and you made each guest feel at ease in Israel.  The JDI staff was always alert and sensitive to the needs of each member of our group.
The tour guides were knowledgeable and well versed in the area.  They were sensitive to the interests of the group.  Having a believer as our guide made the trip all the more enjoyable.  The number of sites we were able to see during the trip was amazing.  The JDI staff and guide made each site a true spiritual highlight.
The accommodations were outstanding.  We were pleased with each place we stayed.  The meals were far better than we had anticipated.  Being a diabetic it is often difficult for me to eat on trips.  But not on this one.  The variety of choices of foods was tremendous.
We are deeply grateful to JDI Travel for your ministry to pastors and to Israel. It is our hope to take a group next year through JDI."~Sincerely, Pastor GS 3/07
 
"A wonderful trip. Memories are good to reflect on. Drivers were friendly and very considerate. The events of Paul's life were mirrored before us wherever we went. Loved every moment!"

"My favorite site was the boarded up Eastern Gate and knowing it is to stay that way until the Messiah—The Prince comes through it. I was thrilled to see it in person and I know I will see it again. I was impressed by our tour, it was a good mix of the ancient, the old and the new. I am so proud of what all the Israelis have done to this land. I stand with them, I pray for them, and I thank JDI."  ~MW 3/07
"This was a trip of a lifetime for me. Our questions were answered skillfully and our bus drive in action on narrow streets was one of the wonders of the trip." ~CT 3/07
"Thank you for all your hard work in making our Holy Land tour a wonderful success. You added some nice highlights and accommodated my requests. Service was very good. <The guide> was excellent. Thanks again." ~DH 2/07
"Our tour was well organized, in depth, interesting, informative. Our guide was fantastic, concerned we experience Israel: Biblical, historical, traditional, and enjoyable. His presentations were complete and he cared for us in many ways. When my son took me to the airport, he mentioned I would never read the Bible the same way again. I did not realize how true those words would be in addition to reading: a flashback reaction of a visual, a conversation, a prayer, and those special moments of being alone with God. Thank you for providing this wonderful tour opportunity." ~LH 2/07

"JDI Travel took us on an adventure I will never forget. Not only did we have an outstanding bus driver and tour guide, but our two weeks changed our lives forever. We were walked through Israel’s most beautiful sites with our guide’s vast knowledge of the history and current events in accordance to each site. While bringing the Holy Land alive, he brought Christ to life in us as well. My most memorable moment was the early ride to Masada. How beautiful and intimidating those mountains were in the dark. Yet even they bow down to the Creator. I spent that hour ride on the bus praising and worshipping Him, our Creator and Lord." ~ SB 7/06
