Join Hineni Tours on a very special journey through the land of Israel! On this tour, we will retrace many of the footsteps of David, beginning with his battle with Goliath in the Valley of Elah, to the establishment of his reign in Jerusalem at the City of David. While in Jerusalem, we will remember the greatest work in human history, and retrace the final footsteps that led our promised Messiah, Yeshua Son of David, to the cross where he died for our sins and rose from the dead three days later! After an amazing time of worship in Jerusalem, we will head north to finish our tour in the beautiful Galilee region where Yeshua lived and fulfilled most of His miraculous public ministry. We will visit many of the places that Yeshua walked, including the recent and active excavation of what many Biblical archeologists believe is the real Bethsaida (El-Araj), hometown of Peter, Andrew, and Phillip. This is just a fraction of all the places we will enjoy with the Lord as we follow Him through the land of Israel on this Footsteps of David and Yeshua Hineni Tour!

WELCOME TO ISRAEL!

Transfer to your hotel in Jerusalem. Dinner reception, orientation and rest.  

Start the day in the actual place where David slew the giant Goliath. Take a short hike up the hill overlooking the valley to the archeological site of Khirbet Qeiyafa (Shaaraim) which dates to the time of David's reign as King, and is believed by archeologists to be one of his palaces. Next, we head to Tell es-Safi (Gath), the Philistine city and hometown of Goliath. This is also the place where David pretended to be mad at the gate of the city, in order to escape from the Philistines. Then on to the Abdullum Cave where David and his men hid from King Saul who was hunting them. Lastly, we visit the archeological site of Khirbet al-Ra’i (The strongest candidate for the Philistine city of Ziklag that was given to David by the King of Gath). Dinner and Overnight in Jerusalem.

We begin our day by heading south to the Nahal Besor (Brook of Good News) Suspension Bridge and Lookout Tower. This is the river where David and his men encountered the Egyptian man who told them the good news of where to find their families who had been taken captive by the Amalekites. This historical event took place right in the same area of where October 7th happened. Next, we'll head to Eshkol Park and Nahal Gerar Park where archeological evidence has been found of Egyptian presence from before Israel's captivity in Egypt (3300-2900 BCE). After this, we will be visiting four important October 7th memorial sites... the Car Cemetery near Tkuma, the Observers Viewpoint near Nahal Oz, Bomb Shelters on road 232, and the Nova Music Festival site at Re’im. These will be very sobering places of prayer and intercession in the name of Yeshua for the hurting people of Israel, that they will know the comfort and healing of the Messiah of Israel. Dinner and Overnight in Jerusalem.

Our first stop today will be Tel Hebron where David reigned for seven years before the Lord led him to take Jerusalem. We will also visit the Cave of Machpelah in Hebron where Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebekah, Jacob, and Leah are buried. Then we will make our way up to the City of David in Jerusalem where some of the greatest archeological discoveries in Israel have been made, including King David's Palace! Dinner and Overnight in Jerusalem.

Today we will follow the footsteps of Yeshua's final 24 hours in Jerusalem, beginning in the upper room, and ending at Golgotha. Dinner and Overnight in Jerusalem.

This morning we begin our day with a special time of communion, worship and praise at the beautiful garden site of a real first century tomb like the one Yeshua was buried in. Then we will go up to the top of the Mt of Olives and visit the Chapel of the Ascension, Pater Noster Church, and the Russian Convent of the Ascension, where we can also see into the town of Bethany where Yeshua Ascended. Dinner and Overnight in Jerusalem.

Before leaving Jerusalem, we will join with our Israeli brothers and sisters at the King of Kings Congregation for worship and fellowship. Then, the last place we will enjoy in Jerusalem is Machne Yehuda Market for free time and lunch before driving north to Galilee. Dinner and overnight in Galilee.

After enjoying your first morning at the Sea of Galilee, we'll head to where Yeshua grew up and visit the amazing Nazareth Village. Next we'll go to what I consider the best grocery store in Israel... the Merkaza Store in Nazareth. You will thoroughly enjoy lunch and shopping at this store. After lunch, we will hike part of the ancient Yeshua Trail that goes from Nazareth to Migdal. Parts of this trail are the same ones that Yeshua would have walked. Dinner and Overnight in Galilee.

Today we begin our day by visiting three of the places where Yeshua did most of His mighty works... Capernaum, Chorazin, and the real archeological site of Bethsaida (El-Araj). After this, we'll enjoy one of the highlights of our time in Israel, a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee. Then, we will have a delicious St Peters' fish lunch (which is included). Lastly, we'll go to the first century Magdala Synagogue where Yeshua actually taught in. Also enjoy a good coffee at Aroma Cafe adjacent from Magdala synagogue. Dinner and Overnight in Galilee.

This morning we begin our day by driving north towards Mt Hermon. First, we'll make a quick stop in Rosh Pina for some really good coffee at Landower Cafe. Then we continue north to the overlook across the road from Kibbutz Yiftach for an awesome panoramic view of Mt Hermon. Then we will go down the mountain to visit Caesarea Philippi where Yeshua asked His disciples the all important question, "Who do you say that I am?" Then we will visit a local Olive oil factory called Olea Essence Olive Oil factory in Qatsrin. Then we'll enjoy some locally made chocolate at the De Karina Chocolate factory. Lastly, we'll visit Mt Arbel where the Great Commission was given by our Lord. Dinner and Overnight in Galilee.

Enjoy your last morning on this trip in Galilee, and then enjoy the scenic ride to Ben Gurion for your flight home.
