Pilgrimage to Israel • In the Light of Jesus
March 11–23, 2013
Led by Pastor Bill Vanden Bosch '69 & Lyn Vanden Bosch '70
"In the Light of Jesus" is planned as a “disciple’s pilgrimage.” Visit sites from Jesus’ life and ministry in Galilee, in the Jordan Valley and in Jerusalem and Bethlehem, and along the way grow in faith and in following Him.
Since a number of sites in Israel are only fully accessible on foot, participants must be prepared to walk an average of five miles per day. If you have specific questions or concerns regarding this, please feel free to contact us.
