DAY 3 -TEL AVIV/CAESAREA/HAIFA/MT. CARMEL/NAZARETH/SEA OF GALILEE
This morning travel along the beautiful coast to Caesarea, where Paul was jailed and spoke on his own behalf before King Agrippa (Acts 2:6). Con- tinue to the lovely bay city of Haifa and the beautiful, wooded range of Mt. Carmel, the place Elijah chose for the great contest with the prophets of Baal (1 Kings 18:19-39). Then to Nazareth, Jesus' boyhood home, to visit the Church of the Annunciation, the synagogue where Jesus stood and read from the book of Isaiah (Luke 4:16-30), Joseph's workshop and Mary's fountain. Next stop is Megiddo, where it is believed the battle of Armageddon will take place (Revelation 16:13-16). Just off the road to Tiberias is Cana, where Jesus performed His first miracle (John 2:1-11). On to our hotel in Tiberias, overlooking the Sea of Galilee, for dinner and overnight.

DAY 4 - TIBERIAS-SEA OF GALILEE/CAPERNAUM/ TABGHA/MOUNT OF
BEATITUDES
Hopefully, you got a good night’s sleep; a busy day as we visit the birth of the New Testa- ment, beginning with a spiritual cruise on the Sea of Galilee to the ruins of Capernaum, where Jesus made His headquarters (Matthew 4:13-16). More of Christ's miracles were per- formed here than in any other city. Continue to Tabgha, where the 5,000 were fed, (Matthew 14:13-21) and to the Mount of Beatitudes, where Jesus gave His Sermon on the Mount. Continue sightseeing this after-noon including a visit to Kibbutz Ginosar Museum to see the "Jesus Boat", if possible. For those desiring, a baptismal service can be held in the River Jordan. Return to our hotel for dinner and overnight.

DAY 5 - TIBERIAS/MT. TABOR/JORDAN VALLEY/JERICHO/JERUSALEM
Time to attend Sunday morning worship service at the church of our choice. Then taxi to the top of Mt. Tabor, traditional site of the Transfiguration of Christ. Continue to Bet She'an, one of the oldest cities of the Ancient Near East, located at the foot of Mt. Gilboa. Saul and Johnathan were slain and fastened to the walls here (1 Samuel 31:8-13). Continue through the fertile Jordan Valley, traveling the same journey Jesus did. Visit the ancient city of Jericho, where the trumpets of the Children of Israel made the walls come tumbling down, and a stop at Elisha's Spring. On up to the Holy City of Jerusalem via the Roman Road for dinner and overnight.

DAY 6 - JERUSALEM/BETHLEHEM
A leisure morning, then visit Bethlehem, birthplace of the Lord Jesus and designated by Micah as the place where Israel's Messiah would be born (Micah 5:2; Matthew 2:4-6). Visit the Church of Nativity--oldest church in Christendom, the Milk Grotto and Rachel's tomb. Time to shop, return to hotel for dinner and overnight.

DAY 7 - JERUSALEM/GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE/ MT. OF OLIVES/ BETHANY
Today is indeed a special day! In addition to examining the many magnificent sights of the area, we will return in the evening with an even stronger appreciation of our faith. Our day begins with a visit to the Garden of Gethsemane and walk the path, following the footsteps of Jesus, to the Mt. of Olives (Mark11:1). Christ's ascension from the Mt. of Olives must have been close to Beth-any, a village where Lazarus, Mary and Martha resided as well as Simon the Leper. Visit the remains of the House of Caia-phas, where Peter denied Christ and where Jesus was brought by soldiers from the Garden, spending His last night there (Matthew 26: 57; 21:1), visit the Church of Ascension and return to Jerusalem along the path Jesus took riding the donkey on Palm Sunday. This afternoon enjoy a walking tour of Old CIty Jerusalem by entering through St. Stephen's Gate and onto the Pool of Bethesda and travel via Dolorosa--Way of the Cross, continue to the temple area of Mt. Moriah, see the Dome of the Rock, the El Agsa Mosque, the Eastern Gate, the stables of Solomon, the Wailing Wall, the new temple area and the exca-vations from the time of Jesus, walk through the old bazaars to the Church of the Holy Sepul-chre and view the Tower of David and Citadel as we leave the city through Joppa Gate--completing our wonderful ad-venture on the very highest spir-itual level imaginable; remainder of day on our own. Return to the hotel for dinner and overnight.

DAY 8 - JERUSALEM (FREE DAY)

Continue by coach to the Garden Tomb and Golgotha--Place of the Skull, where a Communion service will be held for those desiring. Continue to Tel Aviv via Em- maus, where Jesus appeared to the two after His resurrection. Just south of Tel Aviv, visit the ancient Canaanite port of Jaffa (now Joppa), where Jonah boarded a ship for Tarshish and where Tabitha rose from the dead. We will dine at a restaurant in the Tel Aviv area, then head for airport to board our late flight back home.
