Speaking Schedule & Israel Trip
Sid is an evangelist who reaches out to the Jew first as a way of reaching all people with the Good News. He has a unique way of challenging the church to fulfill its call of provoking the Jew to jealousy by having intimacy with God and demonstrating miracles. As Jew and Gentile come together as One New Man in Messiah (Ephesians 2:14-15), it will release a great revival.

Day 1 Trans-Atlantic Flight to Tel Aviv
Today we depart from the USA to Tel Aviv, Israel.
Day 2 Arrive in Israel
Arrive at Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv and transfer to our hotel in Jerusalem for check in, dinner and a good night's sleep.
Day 3 Mt. of Olives / Palm Sunday Road / Garden of Gethsemane / Pool of Bethesda / Western Wall / Upper Room
Stand atop the Mount of Olives as Yeshua did and enjoy a remarkable view of the "Golden City" of Jerusalem. Forty days after His resurrection, Yeshua ascended into heaven from the Mount of Olives (Acts 1). Walk the Palm Sunday Road, down the Mt. of Olives. Walk to the Pool of Bethesda where the lame man was healed (John 5), then come to the Western Wall for a time of prayer and reflection. Finish the day in the Upper Room, revered as the place of the Last Supper (Mark 14), and then back to the hotel for dinner and overnight.
Day 4 Qumran / Masada / Dead Sea
We are in the Judean Wilderness today as we journey east to Qumran, site of the Dead Sea Scroll discovery, and home to what could have been a community of Essenes. We turn south along the shores of the Dead Sea to Masada, the spectacular mountaintop fortress built by Herod. Masada is famous as being the last stronghold of the Jewish rebellion against the Romans. Ride the cable car to the top to explore the fortress. Peer down upon the 2,000 year old remains of the Roman camps and siege ramp below. While in the area, we will stop at the Dead Sea to feel the saltiest water on earth, before returning to our hotel in Jerusalem.
Day 5 Bethelem / Church of the Nativity / Yad Vashem / Garden Tomb / Gordon's Calvary
Our final day of sightseeing in the Jerusalem area might be our most memorable. Enter Bethelem (Luke 2) and visit the Church of the Nativity, traditional site of the birth of the Savior. Return to Jerusalem and go to Yad Vashem (the Holocaust Museum) where we will have a somber reminder of the horrors of the holocaust with the purpose of never allowing this portion of history to repeat itself. Also planned today is a stop at Gordon's Calvary where we can sense the agony of the Lord's crucifixion and the exhilaration and reality of the resurrection at the Garden Tomb.
Day 6 Leisure Day in Jerusalem
Today can be a day of shopping, revisiting favorite sites or sleeping in late. This evening after dinner, we prepare for our departure to the Galilee region tomorrow. (Many of us saw the Temple Mount on this day.)
Day 7 Bet Shean / Gideon's Spring / Sea of Galilee / Fish Lunch / Boat Ride
After enjoying the Israeli buffet breakfast, we board our motor coaches and drive north toward the Galilee region. We stop at Bet Shean where the bodies of Saul and his sons were hung from the city gates (1 Sam. 31) and which was one of the 10 cities of the Decapolis. Next stop is Gideon's Spring where God chose His army of 300 to face the Midianites (Judges 7). Continue north to the Sea of Galilee and enjoy a fish lunch along its shores. After the fish lunch, we take a beautiful boat ride on the Sea of Galilee.
Day 8 Capernaum / Mt. of Beatitudes / Caesarea Philippi / Tel Dan / Golan Heights
Begin our day of sightseeing on the north side of the lake where we can enter the 2,000 year old remains of Capernaum (Luke 4) and stand in what is left of the synagogue in which our Lord ministered. Visit the traditional site where Yeshua preached His Sermon on the Mount (Matt. 5-7). Visit Caesarea Philippi, where the Lord traveled with His disciples and where Peter made his great confession to Yeshua, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God" (Matt. 16). In close proximity to Caesarea Philippi is Tel Dan, showcasing the altar built by King Jeroboam in rebellion to the God of Israel (1 Kings 12). We will also travel through portions of the Golan Heights and gain a better understanding of its strategic importance to the security of Israel. This was the land of Bashan, where the giant Og, King of Bashan ruled (Deut. 3). The half tribe of Manasseh settled here. Gamala is located in the Golan Heights and was one of the cities destroyed by the Romans prior to the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. Return to our hotel and prepare for our departure from the Galilee in the morning.
Day 9 Nazareth (Mt. of Precipice) / Megiddo / Mt. Carmel / Caesarea By the Sea
Say goodbye to the Sea of Galilee and begin our journey west and then south to Tel Aviv. Stop at the Mt. of Precipice in Nazareth where the residents of Nazareth attempted to throw the Lord off its cliff (Luke 4). Visit Megiddo and the Valley of Armageddon (Rev. 16). Motor coach to the top of Mt. Carmel, where Elijah prayed down the fire from heaven and defeated the 450 prophets of Baal (1 Kings 18). Travel to Caesarea by the Sea on the Mediterranean coastline. It was here that Cornelius the Centurion and his household were saved and baptized (Acts 10), and it was also where Paul made his defense before Festus and King Agrippa prior to his final journey to Rome (Acts 25-26). After dinner we will transfer to the Tel Aviv airport for our check in and return flight to the USA.
Day 10 Arrive USA
Arrive in the USA with a lifetime of memories to cherish.
