✨ Journeying in the Footsteps of Moses – Our Unforgettable Saudi Arabia Expedition ✨

Today we are returning from an extraordinary adventure with our Pastors' Tour: In the Footsteps of Moses, exploring the rich biblical heritage of Saudi Arabia!

Our journey began in Tabuk, a historical hub on the ancient incense route. We stood in awe at Jethro’s Tombs and Moses’ Well, where tradition says Moses met Zipporah. The breathtaking Hisma Valley welcomed us with its towering rock formations like Ship Rock and the lush hidden oasis of the Secret Garden.

One of the most powerful moments was visiting Jabal Maqla, a site some believe to be the true Mount Sinai, its darkened peak standing as a testament to ancient events. The Split Rock of Moses, marked by signs of water erosion, brought the story of Exodus to life, reminding us of the miracles that sustained the Israelites.

From the altar of Moses to the potential crossing point of the Red Sea, each site deepened our connection to the stories of faith that continue to inspire us today.

On January 17, 1525, a key moment in the Protestant Reformation took place in Zurich, Switzerland: a public debate between Felix Manz, an early leader of the Anabaptist movement, and Swiss Reformer Ulrich Zwingli. The issue? Baptism. Manz and his followers challenged the practice of infant baptism, advocating for believer’s baptism as a conscious act of faith. This debate led to the start of the Anabaptist movement just days later.

This pivotal event highlights the courage of Reformers seeking to align faith with Scripture. Want to bring this history to life? Explore the sites of the Reformation on a transformative journey, including:

🕍 Zurich – Visit Grossmünster Church and the Anabaptist Cave
⛪ Geneva – Discover John Calvin’s legacy at St. Peter’s Cathedral
🏰 Wittenberg – Stand at the Castle Church where Luther posted his 95 Theses
🛖 Wartburg Castle – See where Luther translated the New Testament

Merry Christmas from all of us at Christian Expedition!

While we know that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, many do not know that there is a strong and ancient tradition which tells us the exact spot it occurred. This spot is a grotto underneath Bethlehem’s Church of the Nativity. In the 2nd century, the Christian apologist Justin Martyr, undoubtedly relying on an even earlier tradition, identified the place of Jesus’ birth as being “a cave close to the village.” Origen saw this cave in the 3rd century. Helena, the mother of the Roman Emperor Constantine, had the original church of the Nativity built over this cave in the 4th century. The church was mostly destroyed in the 6th century, but was rebuilt shortly thereafter under the Byzantine Emperor Justinian. In 614 AD, the Persians, who were destroying other holy sites, spared the Church of the Nativity, apparently because they saw a mosaic of the magi, who were wearing Persian attire, there.

Today you can still visit the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. The main entrance, the “Door of Humility,” causes visitors to stoop low upon entry. Pilgrims can descend below the church, where they can pray and worship in what may be the exact location of Jesus’ birth.

As circumstances continue to improve in Israel, many are beginning to plan to return with their churches. If you are considering leading a trip to Israel, whether in 2025 or beyond, we would love to serve you!

We are pleased to share an important update regarding the situation in Israel. A couple of days ago, Israel approved a ceasefire with Hezbollah, signaling a significant de-escalation in hostilities. At long last, we believe a peace has been achieved which will allow for the resumption of church travel to the land where Jesus walked, taught, healed, died, was buried, and rose again.

Hamas in Gaza: Hamas has been neutralized by Israeli efforts, to the point that they no longer pose a substantial threat to Israel, its people, and its visitors. Furthermore, it has recently been reported in the Israeli news that what remains of Hamas may be seeking a full ceasefire.

Hezbollah in Lebanon: The ceasefire with Hezbollah is expected to bring hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, and Hezbollah strikes into Israel, to an end. With this ceasefire in place, all sites within Israel are accessible and safe to visit, including sites along the Lebanese Border such as Tel Dan and Caesarea Philippi, as well as the Sea of Galilee area, the Mediterranean coastline, the Dead Sea, the Jordan Valley, Jerusalem and Bethlehem.

Iran: The ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah is expected to also mean a de-escalation in hostilities between Israel and Iran.

The above information is derived from various news sources, and above all through conversation with our partners in Israel who are experts on the region, including its history and current geopolitics. Our partners have always looked out for the safety of our travelers above all else, as well as their subjective feelings of safety. During the past 14 months, they have never pushed us to start bringing travelers back to Israel, even though they had no business or income during this period. However, they now express their strong confidence in the country’s safety, and that it is time to resume travel to the country.

If you would like to let us know some dates that might work for you, we can hold hotel space for your group with no commitment and at no risk to you, while we finalize the details of the trip. We look forward to hearing from you!

A successful Hollywood film actress, writer, and producer, Sam stepped back from her own career to immerse herself in the home education of her three young children for over a decade.

On this day in history, October 2, 1187, Jerusalem fell to the Muslim sultan Saladin, marking a pivotal moment in the city’s rich history. Previously conquered by the Romans, Persians, and Byzantines, Jerusalem had been under Muslim control for centuries.

Saladin, the Sultan of Egypt and Syria, was a formidable adversary to the Crusaders. After defeating them at the Battle of Hattin, he laid siege to Jerusalem. When city officials initially rejected his generous terms of surrender, Saladin intensified his efforts. On October 2, he entered the city, aiming to preserve its holy sites.

The Al-Aqsa Mosque, previously a Christian church, was restored, while Christians could continue practicing their faith for a tax. The Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the traditional site of Jesus’ crucifixion, was spared despite calls for its destruction.

Jerusalem's diverse history is evident today, from the Byzantine-era Church of the Holy Sepulcher to the Umayyad-era Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Christian Expedition offers group tours to Israel and other significant locations for the Christian faith, including Greece, Turkey, and Italy. Interested in leading a transformative trip? Let’s explore the Scriptures together and deepen our Christian fellowship!

Earlier this month, it was announced that archaeologists working in Egypt discovered an ancient sword which was used by a member of the Egyptian military during the time of Ramesses II.

Many scholars hold that Ramesses II was the Pharaoh of the biblical Exodus narrative. The sword was found at Tell Al-Abqain, a site containing military barracks and supply depots. Swords of this type may have been carried by members of Pharaoh’s army as they pursued Moses and the Israelites when they departed from Egypt.

Christian Expedition has recently started to offer “Footsteps of Moses” Expeditions for churches. The itinerary begins in Egypt, where in addition to the Pyramids of Giza and other sites of general historical importance, it includes the region of Goshen, where the Israelites lived during the time of Moses. Also in Egypt, we see the traditional site of Mt. Sinai, and a potential site of the Red Sea crossing in Nuweiba. Groups will then visit Saudi Arabia, where they will visit another potential location of Mount Sinai, along with what some believe to be the Split Rock of Horeb. The itinerary concludes where Moses’ life concluded: at Mount Nebo in Jordan. More details can be found in the itinerary here:https://christianexpedition.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/CE_Footsteps-Moses_Sample-Brochure.pdf

NEW Footsteps of Paul: Southern Italy trip with Christian Expedition!

Footsteps of Paul trips, typically covering sites associated with Paul’s Second Missionary Journey in Greece and Turkey, have long been popular with churches. However, there are other sites associated with the life of Paul that are not covered by typical “Footsteps of Paul” itineraries. In particular, the final chapters of the book of Acts speak of Paul’s presence in the following places:

-Malta, where Paul was shipwrecked (Acts 27:27-28:10)
-Syracuse, where Paul stayed for three days (Acts 28:11-13)
-Pozzuoli (Puteoli in biblical times), where Paul spent a week (Acts 28:13-14)
-The Forum Appius (Acts 28:15)
-Rome (Acts 28:16-30)

Our new “Paul’s Final Journey Expedition” incorporates these sites as well as others of more general historic interest and places that are on the bucket lists of many travelers, like:

-Mount Etna
-Pompeii
-Amalfi Coast

More details can be viewed in the itinerary at:
