How It Works

 

Determine Fit

Do you want adventure? Freedom from the “rat race?”  To step outside the familiar? Coming to Israel is an opportunity to do something bigger than yourself before taking on the typical demands of life.

What is God calling you to do next?

Now may be the time to open your heart to Israel, where you can draw closer to God, His work, and His word by following in the physical footsteps of our heroes of faith.
