Bishop and Jo Lead Pilgrimage to the Holy Land

EgyptWith an extra excursion to Cairo in Egypt, Bishop K. L. Ackerman and his wife, Joann, will lead their tenth tour of the Holy Land this October 19 – 30; leaving from New York’s JFK airport and flying Air France with a short stop-over at the Paris airport and then onto Tel Aviv.

Traveling to Israel on pilgrimage encompasses many areas and affects all of our senses. The trip is enjoyable in so many ways, it is a spiritual awakening, it is educational, and it is recreational. Bishop Ackerman, who is well known by many people in Israel, will introduce you to many people, places and things as well as teach and bring the Bible to life for you. The Land of the Holy One is beautiful to the eye, with magnificent aromas and flavors that stimulate. The sounds of the sea and the prayers fill the air, but most especially one can touch the places where Jesus was born and where he was crucified and where he rose from the dead and ascended to Heaven.

The well known tour operator, Economy Travel and Tours, Agent Mr. George Kort, is very conscientious in making arrangements to give us a life-changing experience. He always arranges for us to have his best guide, the local food and the most comfortable hotel accommodations.

JerusalemEach participant will receive a fourteen page booklet on “A Guide to Traveling to the Holy Land” which should answer most questions from what to wear to is it safe. They will also receive a Pilgrims Manual to carry with them each day which will include the liturgies, psalms and music that will be used.

Our wish is that anyone who may want this life-changing experience will have the opportunity to join us, and we are praying to that end.
