Gospel Legacy Ministries 2026
A journey to Israel is unlike any other. Again and again, we’ve watched travelers return home with a renewed love for Scripture because the places they once only read about suddenly become real, vivid, and unforgettable.
Our trip is intentionally designed to help the Bible come alive through Christ-centered teaching, rich biblical exposition, and archaeological and historical insights that illuminate God’s Word. You won’t just see the sites—you’ll understand their significance and how they shape the story of redemption.
Stand in the places where the prophets spoke, where the apostles ministered, and where our Savior lived, died, and rose again. Each day is crafted to deepen your faith, strengthen your understanding of the Scriptures, and draw your heart closer to Christ.

Day By Day Itinerary
Wed. 22nd of April: Arrive in Israel
Welcome to the Land of the Bible! Upon arrival in Israel, you’ll be met and transferred to your hotel in beautiful Herzliya. If time allows, we will enjoy a short visit to Old Jaffa (biblical Joppa), the ancient port city where Scripture comes to life.
Settle into your hotel and enjoy a delicious dinner as we prepare our hearts for the journey ahead.
Dinner & Overnight: Daniel Hotel, Herzliya
Day 1 – Thu, April 23: Galilee • Northern Israel •
After breakfast and checkout, we begin our journey north along the beautiful Mediterranean coastal road. Our first stop is Caesarea Maritima, the magnificent port city built by King Herod. Here, the Roman governors—including Pontius Pilate—once ruled, and it was in this very place that Pilate passed judgment on Jesus.
We then continue past Mt. Carmel, where the prophet Elijah boldly confronted the prophets of Baal (1 Kings 18:17–40). From there, we visit Megiddo, the ancient stronghold known in Scripture as Armageddon, the prophetic setting of Revelation.
Our day concludes as we make our way to the Sea of Galilee, a region rich with the ministry of Jesus. Upon arrival, we check into our hotel and enjoy a peaceful evening.
Dinner & Overnight: Nof Ginosar Hotel
Day 2 – Fri, April 24th
The Sea of Galilee is alive with the memories of Jesus’ ministry, and today we journey through the very places where He taught, healed, and called His disciples.
We begin with the remarkable 2,000-year-old “Jesus Boat,” an ancient fishing vessel preserved from the time of Christ. From there, we set sail on a peaceful boat ride across the Sea of Galilee, experiencing the waters where Jesus calmed the storm and walked on the waves.
Our next stop is Capernaum, the hometown of Peter and a central hub of Jesus’ teachings. Here we explore the House of Peter and the ancient synagogue where He preached.
We continue to the serene Mount of Beatitudes, the traditional site of the Sermon on the Mount, a place where the words of Jesus echo gently across the hillside.
We conclude with a visit to Magdala, home of Mary Magdalene, featuring a beautifully preserved first-century synagogue.

We begin our morning in Nazareth, the hill country town where Jesus grew to manhood. Here we visit the Mount of the Leap, traditionally associated with the dramatic moment when the people of Nazareth sought to cast Jesus from the cliff (Luke 4).
We then continue to Gideon Springs at Ein Harod, the very place where Gideon tested his warriors and God revealed that victory does not come from numbers, but from His power and faithfulness.
Our final stop of the day is Beit Shean, one of Israel’s most impressive archaeological sites. This ancient Israelite city later became part of the Decapolis, and its vast Roman ruins offer a vivid window into New Testament times.

Day 4 – Sun, April 26: Golan Heights, Tel Dan
Today we ascend to the Golan Heights, a region rich in both biblical history and breathtaking landscapes.
Our first stop is Korazim, a small Jewish town visited by Jesus, whose people did not receive His message (Matthew 11:21). Walking among its basalt ruins offers a powerful reminder of the Gospel accounts.
We then continue to Tel Dan, the northernmost city of biblical Israel—giving rise to the ancient expression “from Dan to Beersheba.” This lush nature reserve blends archaeology and Scripture beautifully.
Next, we visit Banias (Caesarea Philippi), where the Apostle Peter boldly declared, “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.” Standing here, the confession of faith takes on new depth and meaning.
We drive on to Mt. Bental, offering sweeping views over the Golan region and toward the historic town of Kuneitra.
We conclude the day with a peaceful sunset in the region of the Gerasenes, reflecting on the miraculous works of Jesus along the eastern shores of the Galilee.

We continue to Qumran, the remarkable desert community where the Dead Sea Scrolls were written and hidden over 2,000 years ago. These ancient manuscripts offer one of the greatest archaeological confirmations of Scripture.
From here we travel along the shores of the Dead Sea, the lowest place on the surface of the earth, and visit Ein Gedi, the desert oasis where David sought refuge from King Saul. The beauty and serenity of this natural reserve bring the biblical narrative to life.
We then make our way to our Dead Sea hotel, where you can enjoy a relaxing float in its healing, mineral-rich waters—the saltiest body of water in the world.

We then travel south to Tel Arad National Park, where the remains of a fortified Canaanite city and later Judean fortresses reveal layers of biblical history.
Our journey continues to Tel Be’er Sheva, the region where Abraham lived and walked with God (Genesis 22:12). The ancient well and ruins here beautifully connect us to the patriarchal narratives.
We drive on through the Valley of Elah, the very place where young David defeated Goliath in single combat—one of Scripture’s most celebrated victories.
Finally, we ascend through the Judean Hills and enter Jerusalem, the City of God, a moment pilgrims have cherished for centuries. Upon arrival, we check into our hotel.

We visit the Chapel of Dominus Flevit, marking the place where Jesus wept over Jerusalem. Then we walk down the storied Palm Sunday Road to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus prayed in deep sorrow on the night of His betrayal (Luke 22:40–46). The ancient olive trees here still whisper the weight of that sacred moment.
We continue to the Garden Tomb for a meaningful time of reflection and communion, celebrating the hope of the resurrection.
Next, we travel to Bethlehem, the birthplace of our Savior. Here we visit the peaceful Shepherds’ Field, followed by the historic Church of the Nativity, one of the oldest churches in the world and the traditional site of Jesus’ birth.
Dinner & Overnight: Dan Hotel Jerusalem

After an early breakfast, we begin our day with a visit to the Temple Mount, one of the most significant and sacred locations in the biblical world.
From here, we walk to the Pools of Bethesda, the place where Jesus healed the man who had been ill for 38 years. We then continue along the Via Dolorosa, retracing the traditional path of Jesus’ passion, and arrive at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.
Next, we visit the Western Wall, the most holy site in Judaism and a deeply meaningful place of prayer and reflection.
We continue through Robinson’s Arch to the Ophel Gardens, where archaeological excavations have uncovered remarkable remains from the Herodian period, including the ancient Hulda Steps that once led worshippers into the Temple courts.

Continuing to Mt. Zion, we visit Caiaphas’ House (St. Peter in Gallicantu), the site associated with Peter’s denial and Jesus’ imprisonment on the night before the crucifixion.
