This Dad Tired tour to Israel is a completely unique experience because it combines two life changing learning trips into one.
You will have a faith-building encounter with the land of the Bible where we get to walk in the footsteps of Jesus in the Galilee, discover the roots of our faith in Jerusalem and deepen in our walk with God as we travel throughout the Holy Land.
And, at the same time, we will see firsthand the way family is done in a culture that has been building multigenerational families for centuries.
This means you will not only walk where Jesus walked but also will experience things like a Sabbath dinner in the home of an Orthodox Jewish family, and will meet and learn from local Messianic, multigenerational families living in the heart of Israel.
All while also teaching and walking through the lessons that the Pryor family (guides mentioned below) learned from their experiences with Israel and Jewish people and the many ways they applied these lessons to their family back in the States.
Note: prices listed are per person based on a couple sharing a room. A $650 surcharge will be added to individual people wanting individual room.
Jeremy and April Pryor met in Jerusalem as students in 1997. Ever since then theyโve been studying and teaching about modern Israel, ancient Hebrew culture and the tools modern Christians families can learn from the Jewish people. The Pryor family has lived in Jerusalem for several years and now frequently travel to Israel with groups to introduce more families to the wonder and life-changing wisdom of the biblical paradigm of family. You can follow all that the Pryor family is up to at FamilyTeams.com. In addition to the Pryors each tour will have a licensed Israeli tour guide who is fluent in both English and Hebrew and very knowledgeable concerning both the biblical and modern history of Israel.
