This is GTI’s FIRST GROUP to ever cross into Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 🙌🏻 They navigated the rocky, unforgiving terrain to see a desert oasis 🌴 The palm trees and 12 springs make it a likely candidate for Elim (Exodus 15:27). They also visited Jethro’s Caves (Moses’ father-in-law) and saw a possible site for the Israelites’ crossing of the Red Sea! 🌊 Spy the family of camels? 🐪 Follow their blog: https://gtitours.org/tour-journal/signature-saudi-jordan-2025

Our Signature Tour group left Egypt today and entered Jordan, over the very landscape where the Israelites once wandered. As we crossed over the Gulf of Aqaba, we remembered their faith, struggles, and divine encounters.

Where exactly Mount Sinai stood remains debated, but one thing is certain: we soared above the route where the Exodus story unfolded, a reminder that God led His people through desolation to transformation.

Since the second century, Christianity in Britain has shaped not only Western Christianity but also Western civilization. From Tolkien’s Middle-earth and Lewis’ Narnia to King Henry VIII’s break from Rome, its influence is woven through history. Come explore Cambridge, Oxford, London, Durham, York, and Edinburgh. Walk in the footsteps of reformers like Wycliffe, Tyndale, Wesley, Shaftesbury and Wilberforce. Reflect on the faith of scholars and social reformers like Newton, Erasmus, and Nightingale. Discover the stories behind literary giants—Shakespeare, Milton, Austen, Dickens, Lewis, and Tolkien. Witness the triumphs and tragedies of royals like Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, and Bloody Mary. In short, journey with us through a land of Gothic cathedrals, medieval monasteries, and ancient universities—where kings and clerics, monks and poets, scholars and statesmen shaped free society, religious liberty, and a vision of God’s truth, goodness, and beauty. Come trace the path from our time to biblical times—and deepen the roots of your faith.

Spring comes early in Israel! The almond tree is the first to blossom 🌸 One way it is celebrated is through Tu BiShvat (ט״ו בִּשְׁבָט), a Jewish holiday occurring on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Shevat. It is also called Rosh HaShanah La’Ilanot (ראש השנה לאילנות‎), literally “New Year of the Trees”. In contemporary Israel, the day is celebrated as an ecological awareness day, and trees are planted in celebration. 🌳 🌱

Behold this mesmerizing snapshot flaunting the intricate rock-cut marvels of Petra, Jordan – known as the seductive Rose City for the opulent hues of its stone.

Engage in the dramatic dance of light and shadow that unveils the profound historical essence lurking within every nook and cranny.

Past vs. Present:

The Temple of Artemis in Ephesus, located in modern-day Turkey, once counted among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. This temple, devoted to the virgin goddess Artemis, was originally constructed in the 6th century BC under the patronage of King Kroisos (Karun) of Lydia, with design credit attributed to the architect Khersifronte.

Rich Ferreira hosts previous guest Todd Morehead for our new episode 🎙️‼️ Todd is the founder of Grafted Ministries and the creator of two films including “Hope in the Holy Land: Delving Beneath the Surface of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.” 🇮🇱 🇵🇸
Today, Todd and Rich return to discussing the age-old conflict. Although it is a heavy topic, it is imperative that we not only NEVER FORGET but seek truth in the tension. Todd’s work tries to give an unbiased lens with which to view the Israeli and Palestinian people and a platform for each of their voices to be heard.👂🏻
After October 7, Israel will never be the same. Todd’s hope is that his film and docuseries will educate, change the way people (especially Christians) view Israel, and encourage love and support for the Jewish people. 💙 Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and many other platforms 🎧
