PROGRAM EMPHASIS
A trip with Bible Passages is not your standard tour! The Bible story and its message of salvation are rooted in a historical and geographic setting – a real-time and a real place in history. The goal of each tour is to better understand that setting and to understand the Biblical story better.
​
Bible Passages is dedicated to helping you to better understand and appreciate the Bible. We want to help you deepen your faith in the sacred text and in the God who gave it. You will discover places like Athens, Rome, Beersheba, Jericho, Jerusalem, Caesarea, and Galilee that exist just as the Bible describes. By sifting through the archaeological data, by traveling down the pathways of the Bible lands, and by traversing through the passages of its ancient cities, trade routes, and caves you will begin to appreciate the challenges of life faced by our religious forbearers. You will also come to see how God used the historical and geographic setting of the Bible lands to refine and develop their faith. ​
​
You will be challenged to examine those same places and settings and will embark on a journey designed to develop greater faith and devotion to God. Bible Passages is all about helping connect people to God and encouraging you in your personal walk of faith. We can’t wait for you to travel with us!
