The Florida Conference of the Global Methodist Church is hosting a trip to the Holy Land (Israel) for its churches in February 2027. The FMCZ church family already has enough signed up to represent our church as a group with Pastor Steve as our team leader. The price includes roundtrip airfare, good accommodations, breakfast and dinner daily, all entrance fees, and more. This is a reasonably priced comprehensive tour from Pilgrim United Tours (www.pilgrimsunited.com) that includes Bethlehem, Galilee, Capernaum, the Jordan River, Nazareth, Jerusalem, and much more! There are extras included that other Holy Trips do not include. Despite what you may see or read in the news, Israel is a safe place for tourism and will likely be even safer next February. The Israeli government is quite serious about ensuring the safety and security of tourists, visitors, and guests.
See the brochure below for details. Email Pastor Steve (sezra@fmcz.org) or call him if you have questions.
