Description
Why does a country the size of New Jersey capture so much of the world's attention? Israel is a land of beauty and innovation that plays a starring role on the world stage. But it is also a place for self-discovery and encountering the person of Jesus. Our Christian faith goes back much further than the moment when we first decided to follow Christ. A trip to Israel is a journey to the heart of our faith and our ancient spiritual roots. Like many other young Christians, Scott Phillips began to question his faith as a teenager. A trip to Israel brought him face to face with the landscape of the Bible and the people of modern Israel, changing the trajectory of his life. For this Texan boy, visiting this tiny country in the Middle East was like going home for the first time. Scott's journey home to Israel would inspire him to join forces with Passages, a nonprofit dedicated to bringing the next generation of Christian leaders to Israel. Since Passages's inception, Christian college students have deepened their faith and gained firsthand insight into the unique geopolitical challenges Israel faces. A pilgrimage to the land of Israel has become a rite of passage for thousands.
