10 Day - "Walk Where Jesus Walked"  Israel Tour | June 1-11, 2026  

 

 

Join me if you're a Christian who is ready to experience that bucket list item of walking where Jesus walked in the Holy Land. You will come away with cherished memories to last a lifetime and most importantly, enhance your relationship with Jesus while gaining fresh insights into Biblical events.

 

As you walk the historical streets of Bethlehem you sense the depth of the history surrounding you. Visiting the Shepherds Field where the host of angels burst through the heavens lighting up the sky with the blazing glory of the Lord to inform the shepherds that the Messiah had arrived you will revel in the awe of that moment, reliving it as though you were there.

Upon entering the sacred Church of the Nativity that has protected the birth place of Jesus and more and you realize, it's still only the first day. You are walking where Jesus walked.

As you walk in His footsteps, Bible passages come alive as you feel the breeze of the wind of God's Spirit bringing you even more awareness of what the disciples felt as they walked with Jesus.

Experience, as they did, "Did not our hearts burn with the flames of holy passion while we walked beside Him." Luke 24:32 TPT

 

You anticipate His presence as you stand on the Mount of Olives where He ascended and will soon return. The breathtaking panoramic view of Jerusalem surrounds you.

As the tour continues, words cannot express the holy hush that transpires in the Garden of Gethsemane and escalates visiting the beautiful, lush grounds of the Garden Tomb.  Stepping inside the burial hewn rock is a step back into time.

Visiting the Mount of Temptation, where the devil unsuccessfully tried to derail Jesus from His mission, you realize afresh with renewed faith that greater is He that is within you than he that is in the world.

 

When you walk on Mount Carmel, the Mount of Beatitudes, the Golan Heights, Megiddo, visit the village of Nazareth, experience floating in the Dead Sea, sail on a boat across the Sea of Galilee, see where the multitudes were fed from the five loaves and two fishes, visit the Upper Room YOU'LL be in awe that you are seeing where the Bible events took place with your very own eyes.

Visiting Jericho and walking on top of the walls that sank into the ground, seeing a millstone in real life brings insight into the heart of God for anyone who abuses an innocent child.

Nothing compares to seeing where Jesus was held before His crucifixion, walking the same path He walked down the Via Dolorosa carrying His cross to Golgotha where He paid the price for you.

 

The tour concludes at the Jordan River where you will have the opportunity to be baptized in the cool, flowing waters topping off your 10-day experience with an unforgettable encounter as you identify with Jesus picturing the heavens opened up over Him and the Holy Spirit descending out of the heavens resting upon Him in the form of a dove.

Walking where Jesus walked is a life changing experience. Many other places, memories, insights will enhance your love for God and the land He chose to send His beloved Son.

The "Walk Where Jesus Walked" tour provides an immersive experience into Biblical events. Transform your spiritual life as you touch, taste, see and walk through history.

Walking on the cobbled streets, feeling the sea breezes, hearing the rustling of the olive trees in the garden, stepping inside the burial tomb where Jesus was laid, viewing the vast valley where the battle of Armageddon will be fought, looking at the "skull"of Golgotha, the beauty and awe of the Upper Room, the list goes on...experiences upon experiences to marvel at the attention to detail provided for us in Scripture.

Eating the foods, experiencing the rich Jewish culture, laughing, making new friendships and strengthening existing ones, worshipping with Jewish believers, being touched by God's presence, and the men and women who have gone before us, and more will be takeaways that you'll cherish forever.

Floating in the Dead Sea, being baptized in the Jordan River, viewing the artifacts and archaeological diggings verifying the Bible's authenticity will give you transformational experiences that you just can't get anywhere else. That's why, I believe, this is a trip of a lifetime that every believer should invest in for their own spiritual journey with Jesus.

 

Dr. Judy's  Favorite Highlights

 
 
 

 1. The Garden Tomb...the tomb is empty. Stepping over the entry ledge into the cavity that was the burial sight of our Lord and Savior brought a holy hush to my heart.

2.  Crossing the vastness of the Sea of Galilee where the wind whipped the water into such a frenzy that the disciples feared for their life. They woke Jesus up saying "Master, don't you care that we perish." Jesus stood and calmed the sea.

3.  As you cross the Sea of Galilee and look over your shoulder you see the mountain where Jesus often disappeared to spend time alone with His Father. Looking ahead you see the hillside along the eastern shore where He cast out the legion of demons into the pigs.

4.  The Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem is the processional route in the Old City where Jesus walked to His crucifixion. It's sometimes referred to as the "Way of Suffering." It is marked by 14 stations that commemorate the events from His trial to His burial.

5. The Via Dolorosa ends at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre where His resurrection is honored.

6.  The Garden of Gethsemane where Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss, as the soldiers came to arrest Him, gives you an idea of that prophetic event.

7. Visiting the vast valley of Megiddo where the battle of Armageddon will be fought. I was overwhelmed with the realization of the Biblical account that the blood spilt in that valley will be up to a horse's bridle. WOW.

8.  Praying at the Western Wall felt sacred. Writing my prayer request on a piece of paper and sticking it into a crack in the wall was a unique moment of time. We know God answers prayer. Putting our requests into the wall doesn't give it a highlighted memo to God's heart, however, participating in this time honored place of prayer was very special.

9. The Upper Room, Jericho and many other places carry great significance to understand the Bible events you've read about.

My Story

I love Israel. I love touring Israel. My love for Israel stems from my mother's love for the Holy Land. I remember when she was blessed with her first trip back in the 70's. The stories and the experiences she had led her to live in Israel at the age of 75 for almost 2 years. She volunteered with an organization called "Bridges For Peace." I still support them to this day. They provide Jewish refugees with practical tools, resources, food, bus tickets to find work as they arrive in their homeland fulfilling Biblical prophecies of God's scattered people returning to Israel before His return.

I have been blessed to tour Israel several times throughout the years with one of my mentors, Dr. Samuel Doctorian. He lived in Jerusalem during His childhood. I'll share some of those experiences while on the tour. I was thrilled to hold a four-day training for Pastors and Christians teaching them the KAM (Kingdom Advancement Ministries) tools for winning souls and making disciples. I've got a few stories to share with you about that as well.

 

I can't wait to show you around Israel. I'm confident that the encounters with Jesus, and the wind of the Holy Spirit sweeping through your spirit as you visit these sacred spots, will give you a greater love for this blessed land.

Financial Suggestions

 
 
 

Let your friends and loved ones know that you have an opportunity to fulfill a bucket list item...to go to Israel and walk where Jesus walked. 

Suggest they contribute to your Israel tour fund for Christmas, upcoming Birthdays, Anniversary dates or "just because gifts." Helping you go would be the BEST GIFT EVER. 

  • Perhaps you have upcoming work bonuses, end of the year bonuses, income tax refunds. Maybe work some overtime hours or get a second job for a few months. I've done that a number of times in my life to put my faith in action for a missions trip and God provided. 
  • Perhaps discontinue your designer coffees, dinners out or buying new clothes for a few months. Do it as a fast for a higher purpose. As you take faith actions, be amazed at how God will bless.
  • Perhaps put it on the credit card and pay smaller payments over time. Some cards have a rewards point program so it may even benefit you for future travel plans. 
  • Perhaps treat yourself. Give yourself permission to experience this amazing opportunity. You're worth it!
  • Perhaps your ADULT CHILDREN would love to contribute to this desire of your heart to visit Israel. 

It's important to learn to give, we know that. BUT, it's also an important lesson to learn to receive. It's humbling and not easy, if our pride is in the way. 

LET GOD BLESS YOU, through whomever He chooses. 

 Consider a trip to Disneyland or Disney World as an all-inclusive package.  Hotel for 10 days, Park Hopper Tickets. Special events. Three meals a day plus snacks. Flights. Car rental. Gasoline. Child care, doggy day care. Souvenirs. It would easily be a similar cost, if not more, depending on the hotel and flights you choose.

 

 

FAQ's

 

YES, I'm excited to join you for the "Walk Where Jesus Walked" Israel Tour!

As I prayed about putting this trip together, I knew I was chewing off a BIG undertaking to even consider this project.
Like you, I needed assurance from Him. A few nights later, I was awakened, in the middle of the night by the Lord. He said, "WILL I NOT PROVIDE?"

That was all I needed to hear. Of course, He will. His resources are unlimited. I'm not going to second guess how He chooses to make a way. 

Faith to undertake all the many necessary moving parts dropped in my spirit.

I know this: GOD WILL SUPPLY.  GOD IS SUPPLYING. The question is will YOU take a step by faith and then each step one at a time KNOWING that God provides?

I did, and wow, it's been a lot to figure out. I've pulled some all-nighters, spent many hours learning the ins and outs of a trip like this. However, with each step the excitement builds. I can hardly wait to see what God has in store for us on this trip to Israel.

Some have said, "maybe I'll go next time." I get it.  Thoughts and feelings of fear, hesitation and financial concerns.  However, a next time is not guaranteed.

Political, Prophetical, Personal and Physical situations are subject to change and may prevent "another time." Now is the time. Let's go together. Don't let fear paralyze your faith and your desire that you've had for so long, to walk where Jesus walked. It's time, let's go!
