March 2-9, 2024 Holy Land Tour
Dear Heritage families,
Below you will find a proposal for a curated tour of the Holy Land for your community on suggested dates: March 2-9, 2024.
In 2015, I visited Israel for the first time and fell in love with the land, people, culture, and history. I was hooked and I wanted to bring as many friends as possible to experience the Holy Land. After 20+ years of church ministry and event planning alongside Passion Conferences, I now have the joy of curating trips through my small business, Shiloh.
Shiloh was born out of a desire to reimagine Holy Land travel and to create space and significant moments for people to meet with Jesus on their journey throughout the land of the Bible with thoughtful planning and design. We work with a local team of experts who help implement each tour and connect our guests to the best hotels, restaurants, and fresh opportunities.
Thank you for the opportunity to present this tour proposal to your community. I have included some of our signature curated specials that will elevate your experience. These “wow” moments, combined with the powerful teaching of your pastors and leaders in this sacred setting will set this trip apart and deeply impact the life of each guest. I look forward to helping you experience the truth, depth and beauty of the Holy Land, both on and off the beaten path.
