Tour Itinerary
Your tour leaders will be David Stanfield and Paula Coghill.
Below is the draft itinerary for the tour. Our itinerary includes linking with other groups in Israel, so details are not completely finalised.
We will have our own full-time guide and coach. This means that as a group we will be able to tinker with the itinerary to maximise the balance of each day and week.
To make the tour as enjoyable as possible we aim to fill only two thirds of each day with focused activity.
Below is the proposed Itinerary (there will be a few extra surprises… but we're keeping them surprises!).

Why an Indigenous Tour?
Every nation needs to understand their relationship to The Land and the People of Israel.
The Indigenous peoples of Australia have several advantages in connecting to Israel. They understand their connection to their country, family lines, clan relationships, stories, and heritage better than many nations.
They connect in a different way to the nation of Israel. The more Indigenous people understand God's original plan for their nation the better able they are to walk in the identity and authority God created for them.
Why a Chronological Tour?
The nation of Israel is a tiny, diverse piece of land which embeds rich layers of history of over 6000 years. If you travelled across her for a decade you would still not see everything, much less understand it all.
Most of us don’t get the chance to go and live in "The Land" for a decade, so we need to absorb what we can in bite-sized pieces.
Moving through Israel in chronological order allows the whole story of the Bible and Israel's history to make sense. You will follow the sequence journey of God's own people. Modern-day Israel can be better understood once you have experienced her history.
Why an Irreligious Tour?
Israel is one of the most "religious" regions on earth. It is home to three world religions all competing for dominance and a voice. With this tour we will go below the external religious chatter and touch the very core of "The Land." We will connect with the deep truth revealed in this region. This takes time.
This tour allows time to really feel the land. We have kept the cost low so that you can experience 16 days at the same price many other tours charge for ten.
I believe every visit to the Holy Land should:
What you experience in "The Land" should stay deeply embedded in you when return home to your own homeland.
I have been on many tours in Israel which didn’t achieve any of these things. I have travelled through "The Land" nine times and been on more than a dozen tours. I have learned a lot about what works and what doesn’t.
A Unique Tour
This tour is the combined result of all of these experiences, plus real input from the savvy locals!
If this is your ONLY trip to Israel – let us give you a logical, full experience that changes you forever.
If this is your FIRST trip to Israel - let us help you build a solid and personal foundation for future trips.
If you have been to Israel before – let us pull it all together for you and take you to another level of understanding.
