Refocus in Israel

Are you a pastor or leader needing time to refocus, heal from past events, stresses and strains and be re-envisioned?

This experience not only offers you a wonderful, fun and meaningful time in Israel but also the opportunity to talk, unburden and recover with a safe, confidential, mature Christian leader who has been in ministry for the past 23 years. If needed we will develop a plan to aid you in your recovery as we travel the land of Israel.

My heart is for churches to recognize the needs of their pastors and to offer this package as a break in Israel, to give them time out with the Lord, so they return refreshed.

Tour of Israel

This unique and supportive recovery package gives you:

Normally 6 Days in Israel but can be shortened or extended
I will meet you at Ben Gurion Airport and drive you safely and smoothly around Israel, delivering you back to the airport for your return home.
4 Star hotels (and optional night in a bedouin-style goat hair tent in the desert!)
A single bedroom so that you can have space when you need it
Walk where Jesus walked, taught and healed in the Galilee
Remember His sacrifice as you look at Golgotha
Visit the Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem
Experience the peace and hope of the Garden Tomb
Climb Masada (or ride a cable car) where Jews stood against the might of the Roman Empire
Visit Mount Carmel where Elijah challenged the prophets of Baal
Travelling by car you will make the most of your time here not waiting in long queues, visiting sites at their quieter times. You will have time to take in all you see.

Bonuses

If you would like, we can record a three minute video of you at a site in Israel to share with your congregation.
We will also look at lessons from the life of David from Israel which can be used as sermon plans to take the pressure off when you return.

Because I have a large family (6 children), am in ministry and travel to teach, I plan to offer only two of these trips in 2017. If you are interested then you can contact me, [email protected]. We will then set up a time when we can talk over Skype to assess whether you would benefit from this program.

Testimony

“I was recommended by a friend to be in contact with Jeremy after I felt I was on the verge of burnout. He counseled with me helping me define my goals and tasks, reevaluate boundaries and expectations, and helped me gauge my recovery process. Jeremy’s experience quickly put me on the right path to becoming more balanced and healthy and steered me away from chronic burnout. In addition to practical steps, his empathy and faith for restoration made me feel supported and proved to be a unique asset in the midst of my process to recovery.”
