The Second PRAY FOR and SERVE ISRAEL Journey
June 18-July 1, 2025
Cost: $4,380, plus your preferred individual air itinerary and fare
Please take note of the new instructions for your flight to Israel below.
Welcome to our second post-October 7 Journey to Israel. From now on, we add two essentials that reflect your heart. First, we dedicate multiple times to pray intently for the peace of Jerusalem (Read Psalm 122:6-9). In addition, we offer practical service opportunities for you to invest Messiah’s love in meaningful ways.
Our first Pray for and Serve Israel Journey was in January. It was entirely peaceful, blessed, beautiful, hospitable, and inspiring as always.
This second journey will include special emphasis on the WOMEN of the Bible. Both men and women will benefit and be blessed by this highlight.
If you want more than a “bucket list” vacation with touristy sight-seeing, this meaningful journey is for you. It is an incredible opportunity to do something tangible as you stand with the people of Israel and support them in difficult times.
Sign up with your eyes open and your goals clear. We are going to Israel to give, not just get. Are you in?
Note that your journey price does NOT include your preferred airfare and itinerary. It is your responsibility to arrange flights from your home airport to arrive in Tel Aviv (TLV) on Thursday, June 19. To assure that your flight is not cancelled by the airline, Father’s House highly recommends that you fly to Tel Aviv on Israel’s airline El Al. Father’s House will pick you up at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. If you would like assistance in selecting and purchasing your flights, email our agent Faigy at faigy@hmtravelinc.com.
This journey price does include your air-conditioned bus and professional driver while in Israel, all hotels, morning and evening meals, tips, entry fees, your expert Israeli guide Eli Shukron (who for 20 years was chief archaeologist of the City of David in Jerusalem), and your Father's House teacher-hosts John and Roxie Turner. Not included are your travel insurance (strongly recommended), noon meals (budget $20 per day), personal expenses, and voluntary love offerings for our guide, driver, and perhaps a surprise lecturer.
This Pray for and Serve Israel Group is going to be a special one. Are you hearing the call to get involved and help us create the template for our future journeys?
Through the teachings of John and Roxie Turner, alongside famed archaeologist Eli Shukron (Google his name), you will get a genuine crash course in the essential context of the Bible as taught by the geography, topography, places, people, and patterns of the Land. Absorb the significance of Middle East history from ancient times to the present day. Stand, study, and worship the Lord at key biblical locations. Feel the culture with your five senses and your active services. Connect the dots of God’s Big Story from Genesis to Revelation. Draw near to the Living Word. Listen as He speaks to your heart of what was, and is, and is to come.
Every day, this journey begins with intentional focus on God as the ultimate Teacher and a biblical lesson in line with what we are about to see. Discover the amazing ways that the land God gave is married to the message He reveals there. Come away wishing you had time to do even more!

The PRAY FOR and SERVE ISRAEL Journey
January 6-19, 2025
Cost: $5,387, plus your preferred transportation to LAX Airport
Welcome to our first post-October 7 Journey to Israel. From now on, we will add two essentials that reflect your heart. First, we will dedicate multiple times while there to pray more intently than ever for the peace of Jerusalem (Read Psalm 122:6-9). In addition, we will offer practical service opportunities for you to invest Messiah’s love in meaningful ways.
Despite all that is happening, it is still safe to visit Israel. We have many friends who have been to Israel multiple times since October 7. All give the same report. Their time in the Land was marked with blessing, inspiration, hospitality, and safety. It is true that a greater level of alertness is important. Be assured that you will be guided by leaders who are fully in touch with and responsive to all real-time security communications.
If you want more than a “bucket list” vacation with touristy sight-seeing, this journey is for you. It is an incredible opportunity to do something tangible as you stand with Israel and support them in difficult times.
Sign up with your eyes open and your goals clear. We are going to Israel to give, not just get. Are you in?
Our group flights are with El Al, so these flights will not be canceled. Your journey price includes non-stop airfare from LAX to Tel Aviv and back. It is your responsibility to arrive at LAX no later than 10:00 AM on January 6 (or the night before if you prefer) so you can check in with El Al no later than 11AM for our 2PM departure. Your arrival time back to LAX will be 6:00 AM on January 19. Be sure to allow no less than four hours after your arrival from Tel Aviv to transfer and check in for your flight from LAX to your home airport.

What is a Father’s House trip like?
Father’s House trips make biblical and historical education a higher priority over sight-seeing or shopping. A passion that drives the FHEF vision is to make the words and events of the Bible more real and vivid to God’s people by giving them on-site learning experiences at historic biblical locations. The truth of Scripture that “comes to life” in visiting these sites is the real treasure of these trips.
Father’s House trips are not typical Holy Land tours. Trip participants should be prepared to do a lot of walking and intent listening. At times, the group will stop to reflect, pray, and worship as they remember what God has done. A Father’s House journey does not go to many of the common “tourist attractions.” The itinerary may not include certain traditional places one might otherwise expect.
Let there be no mistake, however: Father’s House travelers do not come away disappointed. To the contrary, they go home incredibly inspired and educationally enriched. Participants testify of being blessed in life-changing ways, rejuvenated in their daily reading of the Bible, and excited about returning with Father’s House on a future trip.
You will visit biblical sites that have only recently been verified archeologically, like the City of David and the Pool of Siloam. In other cases, recently discovered evidence may indicate that a well-known biblical place is not exactly located at the traditionally accepted site. A Father’s House journey presents and explains the evidence toward the goal of better understanding the biblical record as supported by current research.
Father’s House introductory journeys focus on Jerusalem, the Sea of Galilee, and their surrounding areas like the Tower of the Flock, the City of David, the Gihon spring, the Garden of Gethsemane, the Kidron Valley, Mary’s tomb, and the Lion’s gate. Participants have the opportunity to pray at the Western Wall and visit the Mount of Olives, the Pool of Bethesda, and the newly discovered Pool of Siloam. They go spelunking in Zedekiah’s cave, worship at the Garden Tomb, baptize in the Jordan River, view the Golan Heights, and sail on the Sea of Galilee. Other possibilities include Caesarea Philippi, Bethsaida, Nazareth, Mount Carmel, Megiddo, the amazing new discoveries at Gilgal, and much more.
Father’s House continuing education journeys build on the introductory trips with a variety of itineraries that can include Israel’s southern wilderness, the Red Sea, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and the regions of Europe and Asia where Paul carried the Gospel.
