"…I learned so much. Also thanks Chris & Dee for making the trip so special and meaningful. We have been speaking your praises ever since we got back. It is hard to pick one favorite site. It was awesome to pray at the borders of Israel and also to singe around the altar in the Church of St. Anne’s. I really appreciate seeing the Golan Heights and the Wilderness Tabernacle. The opening with scriptures and prayer time was one of the more meaningful remembrances of the trip. It really helped to bond our group. I’m also grateful we got to go to Masada as Israel is in my prayers daily." ~ D & G. H. 11/03

"Chris and Dee were excellent hosts. Their personal touch and servant hood character made me feel very comfortable as a sister in Christ. JDI exalts the name of Yeshua and great pleasures to be a vessel of honor for the Lord is clearly evident. Going to Israel was a life changing experience. To observe the Bible come alive was truly amazing. Being able to relate Jesus' home to scriptures and walk where Jesus and his disciples walked gave me a deeper understanding of the Word. I will never read the Bible the same way. As I currently tudy scriptures, the understanding and the current reality of the Lord jumps off the pages. I recommend this tour to everyone I talk to about Israel." ~ E.B. 11/03

"I appreciate JDI helping Alice and I when we had a travel delay in New York. JDI helped us get a motel near the airport and informed us there was free shuttle service to the airport from there. Also, JDI kept our traveling companions (who had continued on the trip) informed of our situation. Once we got to Israel, JDI had made arrangements for Alice and I to take a cab to catch up with our tour group. Thank you for all your help in this unusual situation. We had a wonderful time in Israel." ~ L.B. 11/03

"How do I describe the trip of a lifetime? From my very first phone conversations to emails about shoes. After the trip, you could not have been more friendly, helpful, honest & personal. The trip was filled with awesome experiences. It is hard to put into words the feeling of standing in the Jordan remembering my baptism, of placing my feet on the same Temple steps that Jesus climbed, of walking and on the stones of the Via Dolorosa. I was not afraid because I felt that our leaders were both knowledge- able honest in keeping us informed and out of harm’s way. Now that I am home I find that scripture is just so amazingly alive. Each reading brings images and new insights." ~ J. R. 11/03

"We had such a wonderful time in the Holy Land. Thank you for arranging our travel. Some of the best places we saw were … Sachne & the Nazareth Village.

God bless you all and the work you do." ~ K. & S.A. 06/03"
