Bryan College Jordan & Israel Study Tour (12/30/12 – 1/13/13)
 |
The pace will be fast and the scenery will be memorable. We will visit Mt. Carmel where Elijah petitioned YHWH to display himself before the Baal prophets and also travel to Nazareth where Jesus honed his skills with wood and stone. In addition we will visit the Sea of Galilee where the disciples ministered and the Dead Sea where those at Qumran and Masada revolted against Rome.
Two weeks visiting the exotic places and experiencing the beautiful cultures of these countries is a superb way to spend part of the winter break. You would be exposed to the history, art, food, politics, geography, and culture of this area of the Mediterranean, and all under the guise of an Old Testament class!
Check out this sample of the exciting new IMAX 3D movie coming out in 2013 on Israel and Jerusalem.
