The 2012
Journey Home to Israel

Comments from Past Participants of the Journey Home Tour

"Just a quick note to thank you for your efforts in planning the 2011 Journey Home tour. We saw and experienced more than ever anticipated. We know it took a huge effort in planning, organizing, and revamping schedules and agendas to accommodate all of the hiccups that came along.

Everyone on your team, from our bus captains, guides and drivers were gracious, warm and contributed to us having a great experience. Please extend our sincere thanks to the Kennedy's, Nola, Yusef, Tamar and Estee, as well as Rabbi Eckstein and Yael and their staffs in Israel. We have already passed on the information for the 2012 tour to friends and family members in hopes that they will be able to experience next year's tour and Fellowship projects.

Warm regards to you both and our sincere appreciation for leading the 2011 tour. God Bless — Duby and Loran

"WOW! What a wonderful and blessed time we had in Israel. Your tour plan was really inspirational. We will most certainly recommend IFCJ and your tours to all interested in knowing about our trip. In fact we plan on two pictorial tours and discussion coming up this month. One, next week to a small group in a friend’s home and the other to the church at large as many have expressed interest in seeing and hearing about our trip. What a difference IFCJ is making in the lives of many Jewish people. " — Don and Carol

"I am writing to thank you, your family, and The Fellowship for the wonderful 'once in a lifetime' trip I had on the 2010 tour of Israel. Israel and its people are now real to me in a way they never were before … My connection to The Fellowship moved me to go (or maybe God moved me). Thank you for the opportunity and for the exposure to all the fine work The Fellowship is doing there." — Don

"I encourage anyone who has the opportunity to take this once in a lifetime Journey to Israel with the The Fellowship. During the tour we visited many holy places that made the Bible come to life. We also had a unique opportunity to visit many projects that The Fellowship is supporting. This enabled us to experience firsthand the difference we are making in Israel through our financial gifts and support." — Linda

"The Journey Home tour was not about me but about Israel, the crucible of life on Earth and the home of Jesus Christ. To visit those places where He lived and died was an epiphany. It was a privilege to mingle with the people of Israel. It was an honor to visit the missions and ministries that The Fellowship supports and sponsors and most gratifying to see firsthand how deeply involved all concerned are with what they do." — Edith

"The group and tour leaders were so friendly that I was able to make many new friends that I still keep in touch with today. Most importantly, I grew spiritually and I was able to connect more deeply with God and my faith. Israel is one of the most beautiful places on earth and will be in my heart always!" — Linda

"Our travel guides and bus drivers took care of us, and made sure we were accounted and cared for, better than some mothers I know take care of their own children. Not at any time did I have any concern or feel any aspect of this trip was not taken care of." — Edith
