A special message from Homeschool Travel…
Read this if visiting Israel with your family has been a long-time dream…
The Jews of Israel are fond of saying, “No one comes to Israel unless God, Himself, invites them.”
Is He inviting you? Are you going to accept His invitation?
Although travelers with our groups may never have met one another, those who come to Israel with Homeschool Travel are not strangers. They pray for one another weeks before they arrive; and they arrive with a common desire: to experience the Bible in the Land of the Bible and to get to know the people who have answered God’s call to resettle the Promised Land. What none of them yet know is that their families will be forever changed and they and their children will return home with a deep understanding of the real issues facing Israel, her people, and the entire Middle East.
Homeschoolers are unique travelers to Israel and tour guides continually comment on this uniqueness. Unlike many who come to Israel, most homeschoolers already know their Bible. This makes guiding a group of homeschoolers through biblical Israel a real treat.
Most who read their Bible form mental pictures of what the Bible stories look like: crowds coming to the Jordan River to be baptized; feeding 5,000 men on a hillside; Jericho; Jerusalem; the healing at the Pool of Bethsaida…
Then, one day, they come to Israel and actually stand in the place where David killed Goliath. They drink from the same spring Gideon’s soldiers drank from. They work alongside archaeologists uncovering treasures from beneath the Temple Mount. They walk in the footsteps of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They retrace Jesus’ life and ministry. They share a Sabbath meal with Orthodox Jews in an Orthodox Jewish community.
It is then that they realize the stories are real. They happened! They are looking at the actual house where Jesus lived, the actual well Abraham dug, the actual valley of Armageddon spoken of in Revelation. They never read their Bible the same way again!
The special treat for our homeschooling travelers is when they spend the weekend with Orthodox Jews in their Orthodox Community and share a Sabbath meal with their hosts.
Your students will earn High School Credits while on this trip!
For years, homeschoolers have been receiving credit for courses their parents have created. Why not give your students credits in such courses as
History of Israel
History of the Middle East
Archaeology of the Promised Land
The Israel-Palestinian Conflict
As a homeschooler, you may give credit for all valid coursework. And, if your student is in 7th or 8th grade, put your student in Advanced Placement for these courses so he/she can receive high school credit, too.
Homeschoolers are not tourists. Instead, they expect to have an EXPERIENCE. That is why we say that experiencing Israel with Homeschool Travel is “Not just a tour but the educational experience of a lifetime”
Join other homeschooling families this year in the Promised Land. Say, with them,
“This year in Jerusalem!”
Is God inviting you to Israel? Are you going to accept His invitation?
Recently, we said “goodbye” to 25 homeschoolers from Minnesota and Texas who traveled the country for 2 weeks in May. Their testimony was the same: “I would not have changed anything about this trip!”
