May the Lord richly bless each and every one of you." - Cynthia N.

"I knew God is a Living God before I went on the Journey Home Tour, but in His home among His people He restored me and brought the whole Bible to life and understanding I never had before. I had solid faith but He now has put true understanding where it was not before. The love and Fellowship we all shared on the tour, the bonding and caring for one another, were another gift. I needed this and truly believe God chose us especially for this particular tour." - Marylou P.

"The Journey Home Tour was more than I imagined, and made me feel a part of something bigger than myself. Each one of us went on the tour for a different reason; my expectations were exceeded … God bless all who shared in this special tour and for those who could not but prayed or otherwise assisted in some small special way." - Linda M.

"I feel very blessed that I was able to join the tour, especially with my daughter, and see the city of God with my own eyes. I can testify that I know that if you bless Israel, God will bless you, and I have been very blessed. I thought the tour was very professionally done. I felt totally safe, at home, and would love to do it again." - Michael H.

"It's the best trip I've ever taken. I want to go back to Israel The Fellowship." - Travis Tabor

"This was a trip of a lifetime for me to be able to walk the places that Jesus walked and to set foot on Holy Ground! I never dreamed I would ever see Israel, but am so thankful that God allowed me to go! The Fellowship was the absolute perfect group to have traveled with, and it was a privilege to have been a part of this tour. I always knew we were to love Israel and the Jewish people, but now this love is a personal reality in my heart! … Thanks be to God and to everyone in The Fellowship who made this trip possible for me." - Beverly C.

"It rekindled my love affair with the Jewish people and renewed my gratitude that I'm "grafted in". It revived my spirit to be walking on the ground of the Holy Land again and in some of the places that Jesus walked. It drew me closer to Jesus — what could be more wonderful than that?" - Jane P.

"The trip was wonderful on the whole. The staff was excellent and very helpful. It was great to meet other people who were strangers at the beginning of the trip, but will probably be friends from now on. The love of God in each one in their way was evident as I came to know each one." - Terry B.

"We are just beginning to absorb the wonder of it all and the reality and privilege of being there in the Holy Land, the land of our Lord. We are thankful and have been given greater understanding of life in Israel, then and now. The Fellowship is to be commended. May God bless you." - Barbara & Ken B.

"America is blessed to have a group like The Fellowship that is committed to breaking down the "wall of separation" that exists between Jews and Gentiles. I am equally blessed to have been given the opportunity to become a member and be a part of this great commission that could only be ordained by the Most High. "Todah Rabah" for this life-changing privilege." - Clifford M.

"While I was touring the state of Israel and seeing the geography, God was also showing me better ways to appreciate and interpret and apply Scripture to everyday decisions in life Wow!" - Stephen M.

"I liked the way the Scriptures jump out at you wherever you go. There were times along the route that all of a sudden I became emotional. I believe I was feeling the love that the Lord has for His people and His land. I thought The Journey Home was a big success and thank all the people that worked and helped it to be so." - Hannah B.

"I am very grateful to the Lord for making it possible for us to go on The Journey Home. It was an amazing time and the tour gave us a really good taste of what Israel is and has to offer. It whetted my appetite and gave me a desire to experience more… This trip was all I had hoped for and much more. We will continue to pray for and support all Fellowship projects. Thank you for all your hard work and effort on our behalf. I will always consider this one of the great memorable times in my life, superbly unforgettable!" - Cheryl A.

"I had an absolutely wonderful time and am very glad I decided to go. Because the tour included Fellowship news and information, I learned a great deal about present-day Israel which I am sure I would not have gathered from a "sight-seeing only" tour. I am grateful for all that I learned as a result. " - Daryl S.
