Please join us in continuing to pray for the following needs in the days and weeks ahead: God’s comfort and consolation for all those grieving the loss of loved ones from the horrific violence of the past few days “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble” Psalm 46:1 Healing for those who have been wounded and are recovering in hospitals across the country and in Gaza and for the hospital staff treating them “He sent out his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave.” Psalm 107:20 Healing of hearts and minds from the deep trauma that people have and continue to suffer “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.

If you’ve ever sat on the floor while packing for your next trip wondering how on earth you are going to fit everything in then we’re here to help. Channeling Marie Kondo (a Japanese organising consultant) might help you pare it down a bit but packing for a holiday with only items that spark joy may see you missing the essentials.  So we’ve got a few hints and tips that will help you pack like a minimalist while not missing any important items.

Look at every item you are planning on packing then think back to your last holiday, did you actually use it or was it more a case of ‘I might need one’?  Also think about what would happen if you needed it but didn’t have it?

Did you know that in addition to the tours on our website we have a whole lot going on behind the scenes doing tours for private groups? We love to put together tours for church groups, Bible Colleges, even just a group of friends. What does this look like? We usually arrange a time for a free consultation. In this meeting (in person, online or over email) we discuss what the itinerary could look like, your budget, inclusions, guides, special Selah moments, etc. We tailor each tour according to your demographic, objectives and travelling style. We help you as a tour leader understand what your responsibilities are, and how to work with your local tour guide. We talk you through the options on tipping, use of free time and what airline you might fly to get there. We look at the size of your group and what cost factors need to be shared across the group. Once we agree on all of this, we will present you with a Draft itinerary and look at potential travel dates. There are lots of holidays and seasonal events to consider as well as weather. If you are travelling to Israel and Jordan there…
