In September of this year my wife and I were privileged to host a group of 9 of mega-church pastors and their wives on a complimentary life changing tour of Israel, sponsored by the Government of Israel. The account of that trip is captured in this blog!
What a powerful experience that was as we studied the scriptures, sang and prayed throughout Israel! Each of the pastors returned from Israel spiritually recharged and committed to return with their congregation.
The trip was deemed a success and the Government of Israel has asked me to host another group of 10 mega-church pastors and their wives an Educational Study Tour of Israel, January 26 – February 3, 2010. This tour is complimentary and is designed exclusively for pastors of mega-churches and their spouses who meet the following criteria.
* Senior Pastor of a congregation with a peak attendance of 2500+ in 2009
* Senior Pastor who has never been to Israel before or has not been to Israel for at least 20 years
* Senior Pastor who has satisfactorily completed and returned the attached profile prior to December 1, 2009 (mailing instructions below)
If you have ever traveled to the Holy Land, you know how significant a journey of this nature can be. I am anxious to return with 10 more Christian leaders and introduce them to the Israel I love. Please share this opportunity with any pastors you know who may qualify.
Should you or they have any questions, please feel free to contact me. My contact details appear below.
Thank you for your consideration and assistance.
Shalom and God bless.

Mark, I’m glad you enjoyed your trip, but I’d like to share a few thoughts with you. Are you and your group aware that there brothers and sisters in Christ who live in Israel full time and who are hated for their love of Christ? Are you aware that any Jew who says he./she believes in Jesus the Messiah before coming to Israel to the Israeli government- that person will be denied his/her right to go to Israel and apply for citizenship. Yes, Mark, I’m talking about messianic Jews who number more than 10,000 in Israel and suffer continually for their love of Jesus. I’m also talking about the Russian Jews who cannot come to Israel because they are believers in Christ. Also, the 50,000 or more Ethiopian messianic Jews who are stranded in makeshift camps in Ethiopia and who are waiting for permission to go to Israel but are not permited to immigrate because of a new Israeli law which denies the right to immigrate to Jews who confess Jesus is the Messiah- because such a confession makes them Christians and no longer Jews in the eyes of the orthodox rabbis and Israeli law! What are you and the other pastors in your group doing to help the messianic Jews -your brothers and sisters in Christ- in the face of persecution? Tom Hanig
