We love hearing about how these tours have impacted your church and congregation. Take a look at what our friend at Crossings Community Church has to say about the Heritage of the Hymns tour his church took last summer:

“Members of our choir and congregation are just back from an incredible 12 days in the UK. We were privileged to walk the steps of some of the greatest hymn writers of our faith. Our days were filled with gorgeous countryside, ancient cathedrals, beautiful European cities and bucket list landmarks. History is one of the best teachers and I come home grateful for those who have gone before me and helped form the foundations of my faith journey. WCI was an integral part of the success of this trip. They were there to help us every step of the way. Thank you to John Bolin and the entire WCI staff.”

✨Flashback to Israel 2022 🇮🇱
Here is what one director has to say about his trip:

“Worship Convergence International was a great partner to work with for our choir’s heritage trip to Israel. While seeing sites central to our faith in the Holy Land was a large part of our trip, the trip also had missional and ministry opportunities and once-in-a-lifetime concert experiences. For me, missions and ministry are central to any trip and their heart is the same. Also, their attention to details and logistics allowed us to focus on the music and ministry as we prepared to go. I would wholeheartedly recommend them as a partner for your church’s worship ministry!” -James Kimmel, Tabernacle Baptist Church
