There are always new discoveries in Israel 🇮🇱
The place where history & the Bible collide.
Excited about our upcoming Israel HOPE tour in 2024 - a journey of hope in His heartland. 🙌🏼❤️

An artifact found at the entrance to the passageway helped archaeologists date it to the Middle Bronze Age.

SHALOM PILGRIMS.
“For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ” (Philippians 3:20)

The desire to be a pilgrim is deeply rooted in our nature. Since the earliest times, pilgrimages to holy places have been made as acts of devotion, thanksgiving, or to seek blessings or miracles. A pilgrimage is a sacred journey in which God is encountered through the places, people and situations a pilgrim meets. The physical journey coincides with an inner spiritual journey that reflects the concept of life itself as a pilgrimage towards heaven.

Taking part in a pilgrimage of HOPE through His heartland offers more than spiritual benefits. It will also enrich your mind as well as your soul, by experiencing the sights and smells of the places Jesus walked, by the people you meet along the journey, and by gaining an appreciation of the culture and history of Israel.

May the joy of the Lord be your strength on our pilgrimage.
Praying for you as we prepare for the Israel HOPE Tour 2024.
Love Heidi 🕊

p.s Though we have the numbers for the Israel HOPE Tour 2024, we still have room for a couple more. If you feel His stirring, then please reserve your seat by filling out the application form in my website.

FROM THE FIG TREE TO THE OLIVE TREE…

Shalom Pilgrims,
For Mark and me, being in Israel means having all your senses awakened to experience what our Lord did when He walked the land of Israel some 2000 years ago.

Food is at the heart of Israeli identity and a force that unifies many different nations. As we journey together on our Israel HOPE Tour, you will come across streets and markets brimming with Israel's tastiest dishes. We will enjoy the national favourites including hummus, falafel, shawarma, and shakshuka.

Mark and I can't wait to take you to a restaurant by the Sea of Galilee to enjoy some delicious fish caught from the Sea of Galilee itself! Or perhaps you prefer the markets in Jerusalem to experience a freshly squeezed pomegranate juice?
Whatever your preference, you too will discover that even the food makes your Bible come to Life in a whole new way.

Praying for you as we prepare for the Israel HOPE Tour 2024.
Love Heidi 🕊

Shalom Pilgrims,
One of my favourite places we will visit in Israel is Masada. Masada is an ancient fortress in southern Israel’s Judean Desert. It's on a massive plateau overlooking the Dead Sea. A cable car and a long, winding path called the ‘Masada Snake Path’ climb up to the fortifications, built around 30 B.C. Among the ruins are King Herod's Palace, which sprawls over 3 rock terraces, and a Roman-style bathhouse with mosaic floors.
It’s stunning! For those that love a good walk like me, we can walk down the ‘Masada Snake Path’ after we walk amongst the ruins. Or the cable car can take you back down to the bottom.

Revelation flows in the 'Wilderness'

This place gave me greater revelation about my own ‘wilderness experiences.’ In the wilderness, God reveals Himself. In the wilderness, you learn to let Him be your guide. In the wilderness, He separates you from the influences of the world, as well as the things and people that you have learned to depend on, so that you will learn to depend on Him.

God will be faithful to you in whatever wilderness you are facing, just as He was to the people He led out of Egypt. “In the wilderness … you saw how the LORD God carried you, just as a man carries his son, in all the way which you have walked until you came to this place." (Deuteronomy 1:31)

Mark and I cant wait to host you on the Israel HOPE Tour 2024.
Love Heidi 🕊

The climax of the most important story in history comes not at the end, but just over 2000 yrs ago in the life, death & resurrection of Jesus. Here belief is grounded in history! In Jesus’ life on earth the scales are removed from our eyes as we glimpse ultimate Truth.
These are historical events that actually happened & coming on a 'Journey of HOPE in His Heartland' we experience where the world of FAITH and the world of HISTORY meet.

The Mount of Beatitudes.
There are many sites of religious significance throughout Israel but you don’t have to be particularly religious to enjoy the beauty of them. One of the most peaceful & yet thought provoking places you will visit in Israel is the 'Mount of Beatitudes' location overlooking the Sea of Galilee. The place believed to be where Jesus gathered the crowds and began teaching them (Matthew 5:1-7:28).


To take a bus load of people to the Holy land & watch Him restore, heal, transform & ignite hearts afresh is an incredible honour for Mark & myself.
It seriously is a trip of a lifetime, plus an awesome way to start the year - Christ focused!
We have so many wonderful things in store for you. I am believing this tour ‘A Journey of HOPE in His Heartland’ will change your life, as it did Mark’s and mine.

I wanted to share with you just a couple of reasons why coming to Israel with Mark and I will bless your life.

🇮🇱EXPERIENCE THE BIBLE WITH ALL YOUR SENSES. 🌾🌅🕊
I will probably say this more than once! - but truly you will experience the Bible like you never have before. Just as you would see a puzzle all put together, so you will grasp the individual sites in light of the whole land.
Watch the sun set over the Sea of Galilee—just as Jesus saw it.
Get the feel of the land as you experience the Holy City of Jerusalem with your feet.
Hear the Word of God in the Capernaum Synagogue—the very place where Jesus preached.
Enjoy the fragrances in every place from the aromatic Jerusalem markets to the salty seaside port of Caesarea.
Experience the fellowship of other Christians as you travel the lands of the Bible together.
Taste the delicious meals of Israeli culture (as well as a few familiar indulgences).

🇮🇱JOIN THE FAMILY OF BELIEVERS WHILE MAKING NEW FRIENDS ON OUR HOPE-FILLED BUS. 🚌
Each morning on the bus we will spend a few minutes committing the day to our sweet Lord in prayer as a family. You may come on the tour only knowing 1 person, but by the end of the trip you will make lifelong friends that you meet from various churches and denominations around Sydney, Australia and overseas. Our Israeli guide will offer cultural and historical connections, as well as biblical insights as she travels with us. We’ll travel the land in a climate-controlled deluxe motor coach. It even has FREE Wi-Fi so you can stay in touch and send photos back home!
We are God’s children, and we are ‘family' and nothing brings that truth home more than being in the Holy Land with brothers and sisters from every denomination. I LOVE it! So humbling, so refreshing and so beautiful (p.s I became Face Book friends with so many beautiful people, including my Israeli guides. In fact our Israeli guide we had in 2018 - Natalie, we loved so much that I also used her for our tour in 2019 and we are using her again for our tour in 2024! You will LOVE her too!)
We have so many wonderful things in store for you. I am believing this tour ‘A Journey of HOPE in His Heartland’ will change your life, as it did Mark’s and mine.

To reserve your seat on the HOPE-filled bus, just head to my website www.hopewithheidi.com and register.
If you have questions please don't hesitate to contact me.

Praying for our HOPE-filled bus, Love Heidi

We are heading back!!!🎉🇮🇱
Israel Tour 2024 - A Journey of HOPE in His Heartland.

Shalom!
I would love you to join me on "A Journey of HOPE in His Heartland."
Israel is a place like no other. There is nothing like waking up to the same sunrise that Jesus woke up to over the hills of Galilee. This tour is uniquely designed to have you reveling in the experience of walking where Jesus walked while taking in Israel’s culture, history, beauty, and, of course, love. While God is real and can make Himself known to anyone anywhere (as He is doing all the time), a visit to the Land of Israel does draw any person of faith closer to their Creator while also placing the biblical accounts in their proper place geographically and culturally. In other words, no other place on earth can invite you to "walk where Jesus walked," and for that we are thankful.

If this trip sounds like it is for you, then please email me to register your interest and for more information.
Grace and Peace, Heidi 🕊

Visiting Mount Carmel for me was something quite surreal, as 1 Kings 18 would have to be one of my favourite passages in the Old Testament in relation to faith and persistent prayer. I pictured Elijah gathering the children of God to Mount Carmel, then I imagined the contest he had with the prophets of Baal and Asherah to see who’s god was real and the god who turned up by fire - He was God!
I imagined the fire falling for Elijah and licking up the water around the altar. AMAZING! Then I imagined Elijah positioning himself on his knees to pray for the rain to come to end the 3 year drought…

On the day we visited Mount Carmel, I got to witness the fire in a sunset and the clouds ready to burst with rain….. It was a glorious moment! I am praying and believing it will also be a glorious moment for you!

Today the beautiful Mount Carmel (kerem) is peaceful and located on the far tip of the Jezreel Valley near the coast, a limestone mountain range that stretches for 24 miles from the Mediterranean near Haifa into the heart of Israel’s hinterland. It is dotted with springs that provide all sorts of growth (carob trees, oaks, pines, cedars, myrtles, laurels, and tamarinds), and covered in tiny volcanic cave entrances that open up into spacious hideaways, suitable for prophets or criminals on the run (Amos 9:3).
When we visit Mount Carmel you can see the Jezreel Valley, Mount Gilboa, and the hills of Galilee and where the cloud rising out of the sea would have been. INCREDIBLE!

We only have limited spaces, so if you haven’t reserved your seat yet, we would love you to join us on our Israel Tour 2020 - 'Walking in His Footsteps’
