A first pilgrimage to Israel can define a college student's faith for decades. The Galilee region, where Jesus called his first disciples, is the ideal place to begin.
Start in Galilee, not Jerusalem
Galilee is gentle and green. Begin your trip on the Sea of Galilee so students can absorb the ministry of Jesus before the intensity of Jerusalem.
Build teaching into the itinerary
Hire a guide who understands ministry. Short devotional talks at each site turn a tour into a discipleship experience.
Leave room for community
Schedule free evenings. The conversations students have over dinner often matter as much as the sites themselves.
