A Journey of Faith, Reflection & Discovery
Join us on a sacred journey through Israel, Jordan, and Egypt — a once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage that will deepen your faith, ignite your spirit, and enrich your understanding of the Bible. Walk where prophets and apostles once stood, from the Sea of Galilee to the Mount of Olives, from Petra’s rose-red canyons to the Dead Sea, and onward to the land of the Pharaohs, where Moses, Joseph, and the Exodus story come alive. This three-country pilgrimage blends powerful biblical encounters with moments of worship, reflection, and cultural discovery — a transformative experience of faith and fellowship you will never forget.
About Your Tour Host:
I have taught and led the Community Bible Study Class in Pasig, Philippines for 20 years. It’s been a joy for me to bring many of my students to the actual places where events took place thousands of years ago. Going to the Bible Lands is equal to going through an accelerated discipleship process. If you come, you will never read the Bible the same way again.
Join me!

About Your Devotional Speaker:
Professor Jeffrey Miller
The stories of the Bible are embedded in the land in which they took place. Jeff will endeavor to connect the biblical lessons of those places with the needs of modern pilgrims today.
Jeff first developed his passion for the Holy Land while engaged in graduate studies in Jerusalem at the Institute of Holy Land Studies (IHLS) from 1982 to 1983. The courses combined classroom studies with extensive field trips to various sites. Jeff returned to Israel in 1998 and 2007 to deepen his understanding of the land.
Jeff has been teaching Geography of Bible Lands in Indonesia, the Philippines, and the USA during his 34-year career as a missionary teacher in Asia. The textbook he developed has been translated into Chinese and is studied by eager students of Israel. In his teaching, Jeff extensively employs his
database of 35,000 visuals of the land, with the goal of helping students understand the
land of Israel in its geographical, historical, and cultural context. Jeff strives to give a framework so that pilgrims can put the pieces together instead of being overwhelmed by the vast number of sites that most encounter on their tour to Israel.
Jeff is married to Gerri, his lovely wife of forty years. They met in Israel as students in 1982. Besides teaching Old Testament and Bible courses, Jeff served as Bible Department Chairman, and Executive Director of the International Graduate School of Leadership in Manila, Philippines.
