Testimonials
“Where to begin… the phrase life changing is so often overused but it truly was a life changing experience for both Deb and I. Walking where Jesus walked, preached and performed miracles brought the Bible to life for us. Being baptized in the Jordan River and praying over my wife there is imbedded in my heart and mind. A bonus to the trip was getting to experience it with other members of our Wellspring family. Lifetime connections and memories were made. It is an experience that will change you forever.”
– Deb and Pete H
My husband and I were on the fence about going to Israel at first, and because of everything that had gone on there we were obviously a little bit scared.
Around two months before the trip was set to take place, we decided to go and we started fundraising – most people had already been fundraising for months before us so I was worried we wouldn’t reach our goal, but God showed up in my worry and we were amazingly fully funded 3 weeks before the trip!
Honestly, I wasn’t 100% sure what to expect out of this trip – I knew that we would see amazing things and be able to walk where the Bible took place – but what we experienced was beyond anything I could have imagined. From being baptized in the Jordan River, to walking where Jesus walked and taught the disciples, to experiencing the Israeli culture, it was such an unforgettable experience and it truly has changed our lives forever.
I will always be thankful that my husband and I listened to God’s calling and took the leap of faith by going to Israel. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made and it has changed our lives forever.
So if you’re on the fence like we were, take that step of faith and God will meet you where you’re at and I promise you won’t regret it!
