Masada rises 1,300 feet above the Dead Sea, and the pre-dawn climb is a rite of passage for ministry groups visiting Israel.
Talk about courage before the climb
Masada is the story of a community that chose conviction over compromise. Discuss what that looks like in your own context.
Let the sunrise do the talking
After the climb, sit in silence as the sun rises over Jordan. Some of the best teaching moments need no words at all.
Connect it to the wider story
From the plateau you can see the wilderness where Jesus was tempted. Tie the visit back to the courage of Christ, not just the zealots.
