Special Update: The Pastors/Leaders FAM Tour departing on January 17 is a GO! Israeli authorities decided on January 6 to allow visitors from countries designated “Red” – including the USA – to now enter. In addition all Winter and Spring tours are a Go!
All the testing and entry rules and protocols appear to be the same as in November when we accompanied our first two groups to enter Israel after some 21 months. We will keep this site updated if more details emerge. Please contact us with any questions, and stand by for more good news as we move forward into 2022!

The accompanying spouse or staff member rate is $2499. For our January 2022 tour, we’ve planned an inspiring tour which will acquaint participants with Israel, the land of the Bible.

What Is A Pastors “FAM” Tour? If you have never been to Israel, or haven’t gone recently, we invite you to experience the amazing Land of the Bible for yourself. Stand atop Mount Carmel, visit the Mount of Beatitudes, sail on the Sea of Galilee, and tour Masada via cable car. Enter the empty Garden Tomb, walk the streets of Old Jerusalem, visit the Western Wall, pray in the Garden of Gethsemane, view the Shepherd’s Fields, and much more.

Recent Pastors FAM Tour Report
Presbyters and spouses of the Southern New England District
Our last FAM tour was our largest Pastors Tour ever! This tour was made up of over 50 pastors and spouses. The “Red” bus was comprised of presbyters of the Southern New England District of the Assemblies of God, led by District Superintendent Bob Wise. The “Blue” bus was comprised of pastors from several denominations. Meredith Hill Page and Richard Page escorted the entire tour. Several pastors have already scheduled to return with groups from their congregations.
“First rate experience. All the accommodations were great, and everything was very well planned. Our Israeli guide and driver obviously had a lot of clout with everyone we met, which says a lot. Richard and Meredith went out of their way to make sure everything was the best it could be. I’ll be sharing my experience with a number of pastors in Louisiana and I’ll have no problem recommending the Pastors FAM trip. My wife and I plan on returning to Israel next year with Ed Hill Tours.” Pastor Ken Sifford
“Just came back from a Pastor’s Familiarization Tour of Israel. What a wonderful company to tour Israel with. Organized, friendly, not a care in the world. Was able to go to Israel and do what I was there to do without worrying about any details. First class people and company with a great heart for God and for pastors.” Pastor Gary Underwood
