Testimonials
The recent trip to Israel was a tremendous blessing. I personally have been able to travel to the Promised Land now on three different occasions. While each one was special, I think this last trip was the most meaningful because of who went with me. This is the first opportunity I have had to take members of the Bono congregation as well. Seeing their joy and amazement at being in the land of the Bible was priceless. The trip to Israel, over 3,000 dollars. The gasoline to the airport and home again, 60 dollars. The smiles and tears on faces of those who saw where Jesus walked, lived, taught, and died…PRICELESS! They will never view the Word of God in quite the same light again. Chris Ellison, fellow Bono traveler, perhaps summed it up best. When ask what he thought about the trip, he said “It’s not just a story anymore!” The Word has taken on new meaning and a passion for learning more of God has been stirred. I would encourage, challenge, implore…beg if need be…any Pastor to find his way to a Father’s House tour of Israel. It is unlike any other tour and is certain to spark renewal in the hearts of all those blessed to go. Not to mention, the Word promises that God will bless those who bless Israel. Be blessed by the Father’s House so that they in turn will be blessed in future trips and so that you might bless others with this life-changing experience. Just let the blessings flow!
Walking where Jesus walked…tracing the path Moses took…exploring the City of David. How do you put a price on these kinds of experiences? When I signed up to attend the Father’s House Educational Journey, I knew I would learn more about God. I have been absolutely floored, however, at how much the experience has changed me, and the way I understand the Bible. I walked it. I saw the landscape. And my heart will never be the same. Sign up! Don’t wait! You will never regret it.
Overwhelmed! That’s the word that comes to mind when I think back on my Israel trip in February of 2017. My name is Micah Smith, I am a worship pastor for StoneWater Church, and my life will never be the same after visiting Israel.
The presence of the Holy Spirit was overwhelming! So many times throughout the trip, I found myself humbled in the presence of God. I truly feel like I clearly heard God speaking vision and direction into my life in many different areas. God also gave me visions like I have never had before. Visions about my children and even future generations in my family. I also had the privilege of leading our group in a time of worship in St Ann’s Cathedral. The moment I started singing, I was in awe of the sound I was hearing. An inexplicable sound that can only be created by the voices of God’s children worshiping Him. God’s presence was so real and tangible! It was an incredible moment with the group. I was overwhelmed by the reality of who God really is. I constantly found myself in awe of the preciseness of God. It was amazing to see that everything God has done, is doing, and is going to do is exact, precise and His perfect plan. I could physically see how God created things, placed things, planned His creation and His people, and it was all for a perfect and precise purpose. It was so fascinating to take the knowledge I had of the Bible, and then see the physical locations where these events took place. Until I physically stood in these places, I didn’t fully understand the magnitude of what God was doing in those moments, and how it impacted His people. I was overwhelmed by the group of people I was with and the leaders of the trip. Moshe took us to amazing places and the information he presented us with left me in awe. This is a journey you have to take to accurately understand the people, places and events that took place in the Bible. John and Roxie were incredible hosts! I loved being able to ask John questions that brought a lot of clarity to my biblical understanding. I was also blessed with an amazing group of people that attended the trip with me. We created great memories together, and it was a blast to experience all of this with them. I can truly say that this journey to Israel was life changing for my family and I. God is continuing to use the experiences I had in Israel to teach me, and grow me into who He wants me to be. Thank you to everyone who makes these trips possible. I cannot wait to go back!Check out Micah leading worship in St Anne’s cathedral here!
It definitely provided a wonderful educational experience. I learned things that I had never even thought of before simply by being able to see the land with my own eyes.It has caused me to slow down when reading because I’ve seen how many little things I’ve passed over before. Overall it was a fantastic trip that I will never forget. It was challenging to my faith in a good way in that it helped lead me into a deeper understanding of God’s Word. The other people on the trip were truly a blessing to me and a bond was created that will last a long time.
The trip was really totally and completely life changing for me personally and for me as a Pastor because it allowed me to see the Bible kind of in a three dimensional aspect as opposed to just reading about and studying about it. Actually going to the places, seeing the things we saw, meeting the people and being exposed to the atmosphere of the culture and all of those things, it was just a period of time that really has forever and completely changed my life.

Even after studying the materials suggested before going on this wonderful experience, I see that it is almost impossible to visualize and understand G_d’s word without seeing it in context. Just as the settlers and Native Americans used the materials that were at hand for their shelters, so did the Israelites. I had never pictured homes, inns, stables, castles and fortresses built in chalk limestone caves, but that was what was available to shelter them. Seeing, no, experiencing the recent archeological discoveries will touch your soul just as Pilgrims to the Promised Land have been moved for years. Praising G_d at the same locations that Israelites praised him in the past may bring you to tears of joy. It was easy to see individual members of our tour group were touched at different locations we visited according to their needs and G_d’s gifts. Come home to the Promised Land, even if it only for a short time, your life with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit will grow, especially as you share your experiences. It is very easy to share the Word, when you are asked about your trip to the Promised Land.
After serving in the pastorate for 33 years, I wish that I had gone to Israel 20 years earlier. The Old Testament and the Gospels became crystal clear concerning the plan of God for His people. In fact, everything now is not only clear, but alive. I am aware today that it is not only about what has happened, but about what is happening now. If you have the opportunity to go, do not delay!
John, many thanks to you and Roxie for all you do and brought to the trip. Dotti and I both loved your hearts for Jesus and teaching. Couldn’t have survived without you two. Blessings and love, Wade (and Dotti) Cloyd
Cris and I had the experience of a lifetime on the January 2010 Israel trip. We are so thankful to Father’s House for sending us and our friends Pastor Armand and Lilybelle Valdez to the Holy Land, where we joined some US church groups on a wonderful ten-day tour. Recently I have presented slideshows of our pictures from Israel to students of our Calvary Bible Institute (both Day and Night classes) in Davao City. It has made a huge difference for me to have been to so many of the sites in Israel and to have been guided by such a knowledgeable Jewish guide as Moshe Bronstein. I feel like I can now talk about the Biblical places with a bit of authority and certainly with insight that I didn’t have before. The students were fascinated by the pictures and the commentary. Many of them would love to go to Israel now! I know Cris and I have a heart to go back to Israel and see even more of that wonderful country. God has truly turned our hearts toward “home”– here on earth, our true original home is in Israel. God bless Father’s House! Love in Christ, Rev. Ken & Cris Sandberg missionaries in the Philippines

Support Father's House by purchasing the HOT CHILI book!!
Author Byron Stinson has dedicated all proceeds from the sale of this book to benefit Father’s House. Though it is especially geared for truckers, all readers will benefit from these life lessons. Byron and his coauthor, John W. Turner, Jr., detail stories that are sure to invoke sentiments common to any trucker. Both men speak from experience. Not only have they "walked the walk" of the trucking life but they can also "talk the talk." Life as a trucker can seem futile at times. Far from it! Life has a deep and meaningful purpose. This book has been priced to make it easy for you to load up with plenty of copies to give out. Thanks!!
The Father’s Heart…
His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace, and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, (Eph 2:15-16)
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. (1 Pet 2:9)
