Holy Land Tours with Randy Hayes

We at Global 7 Tours are heartbroken that we have had to cancel the rest of our Israel tours for 2023 as well as our March 2024 Tour. However, our disappointment pales in comparison to the incomprehensible sadness we feel for the suffering and senseless killing that has happened and continues to happen in a place we love so dearly among people we consider our family.
We pray the killing comes to a screeching halt. So many have lived in fear for decades. The recent events has taken that fear and uncertainty to a whole other level. We take peace and freedom and security (that some in the world only dream of) for granted every day. We pray for all the millions of people now homeless.. For all those whose lives and livelihoods have been turned upside down.
We pray that governments on both sides will choose love & mercy & compromise as opposed to power & intolerance & dominance. We pray that influential countries will not turn a blind eye to injustices and oppression and step in to help implement lasting change and peace. 🙏🏼

We have NOT yet cancelled our Israel tour set for SEPTEMBER 8-19, 2024, and will not cancel it unless the BYU students have not returned to the Jerusalem Center and the State Department has issued a warning. There is no commitment to sign up.
We are hoping to reschedule our March 2024 tour to APRIL 1-12, 2025. If interested email [email protected].

Your Tour Director

From 1976 - 1978 Randy Hayes served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints in Lima, Peru. He worked for CES teaching Seminary prior to his move with his wife, Laura, and 5 small children to Rexburg, Idaho where he subsequently taught 30 years in the Church Education System as a religion professor at Ricks College/ BYU-Idaho. His teaching included the Doctrine and Covenants, The Book of Mormon, The Pearl of Great Price, The Old and New Testaments, and History of Christianity. In 1995-96 Randy and Laura, along with their now 8 children, moved to Jerusalem, Israel where Randy taught at the BYU Jerusalem Center. In 2004 Randy moved from Rexburg with his family to upstate New York and oversaw the building of the Palmyra Inn located adjacent to the Sacred Grove and Palmyra Temple. In addition to running the Palmyra Inn and being part owner, Randy began a student program headquartered there in affiliation with Utah State. In 2014 Randy and Laura again moved from Rexburg to Costa Rica where they served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints until 2018.

Brother Hayes has acted as a Tour Director for Universities as well as a guide for independent touring agencies since 1991. He has led professors, student groups, families, and commercial tours to the Holy Land, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Greece, Rome, Mexico, Guatemala and Peru. Additionally he has led multiple church history tours to the sacred historical sites of New York, Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois. In September of 2019 Randy guided a tour following the travels of the ancient Apostles of the New Testament to Turkey, Greece, and Rome. Shortly thereafter he and his wife returned with another tour group to the Holy Land. In May of 2021 Randy and Laura embarked on an incredible 12-day journey to the jungles and ancient ruins of Peru with our Inka Heritage group.

Randy and Laura have 9 children and 29 grandchildren. They keep busy visiting their family spread from Utah to Oklahoma, from Boise to Boston, and from Missouri to Oregon.

The following link is a webcast entitled "Jerusalem to Cumorah in 60 minutes" done by Randy Hayes at BYU-Idaho. This webcast gives insight into Brother Hayes's vast knowledge and passion, and his talent for teaching and sharing his knowledge with others. It is a historical and scriptural outline of exactly that - Jerusalem to Cumorah in 60 minutes.

Brother Hayes takes you from Lehi to Moroni and Jerusalem to Cumorah in just 60 minutes. This energetic and entertaining explanation of the Book of Mormon is sure to help build your testimony of the book and of Christ.

Randy’s knowledge of ancient and modern European and Middle Eastern history helps all he teaches to gain a love and understanding of these areas and instills in each person a connection to the land and the part they play in its ongoing story.
From Jerusalem to the Judean Wilderness, the Dead Sea to Jericho, Masada to Qumran, the Golan Heights to Sea of Galilee, you will receive a treasure of knowledge that will fill you with unspeakable gratitude and elation.
Randy and Laura Hayes’s ongoing close friendships with the modern Jew and Arab adds a dimension of respect, understanding, and love for both Israelis and Palestinians.

In addition to Randy Hayes you will be led by Tareq, our local and legally licensed guide. His knowledge of the complex political and cultural histories that surround Israel and Palestine will awaken in group members an awareness of, and an empathy for its people. Tareq will instill a deeper understanding of the passions and tensions that have permeated the land for centuries. You will never forget Tareq’s teachings of Islam in the shadow of the Dome of the Rock!
