Due to the current turmoil in Israel, the March 2024 trip has been postponed. Stay tuned for information about future trips.
In college Steve went on a semester study program to Israel. It was there that his professor Dr. J. Arthur Baird introduced him to his passion for teaching and for the Holy Land.
It was always his dream to one day offer something similar. 10 years ago (2014) Steve introduced his first student trip to Israel which was followed shortly thereafter by adult trips. In the past 10 years he has led hundreds of pilgrims to the Holy Land. These trips offer opportunities for people to reconnect with their faith. Join me as we walk the steps of Abraham, Moses and Jesus, ride a boat on the Sea of Galilee, immerse ourselves in the Jordan River, pray at the Western Wall and share communion at the Garden Tomb.
I have seen people renew their faith, renew their marriage vows and come to understand the Bible in a whole new way, all from this once in a lifetime experience in the land that has been called the center of the universe. I invite you to join me.
Testimonials
Our trip with Steve to Israel exceeded expectations in every category. Steve and Boaz covered all the bases, providing both the Christian and Jewish historical perspective in a thoughtful and collaborative way. Each day was an adventure, as our activities were carefully planned to allow for teaching, exploring and down time. We enjoyed it all, from the Negev to Jerusalem, but were especially impacted by our time in Galilee. To walk where Jesus walked and spend time where He devoted most of his earthly ministry was life changing. We are so grateful for our time in Israel and would highly recommend Steve as guide and organizer.
Traveling with Rev. Steve Allen makes for a memorable, fulfilling, and enjoyable experience. Not only do you experience his vast knowledge and wisdom of how faith affected the area you visit, but he also creates an atmosphere of inclusion where you’ll bond and make friends for life. He does this by adding just the right amount of education with activities to enjoy together in the area. If you study his itinerary, you’ll see that mix. If his wife, Sue, comes along, that is an added treat! Being rebaptized in the Jordan River was an incredible opportunity and a highlight of the trip and Reverend Allan made it oh so special. Everyone in our group felt included and honored, whether you were without your significant other, a couple or a single. Give yourself a gift and take this faith experience of a lifetime with Steve. It’s truly a blessing.
We loved our trip to Israel with Steve’s Group because of the biblical nature of the itinerary. The trip was well planned and thoughtfully led, including lessons connecting the Bible to the sites we visited. The Morning Devotional Time with the Word of the Day and a summary of the day’s sites and their significance was a great way to start each day. As the group stayed together for the entire itinerary, Steve did an excellent job of creating a real sense of connection and community throughout the trip. Steve’s Israeli contacts (bus drivers, guides, etc) were all fantastic. Our food and accommodations were authentic. It wasn’t just a trip; it was a wonderful spiritual journey! We highly recommend him as a leader for an Israel trip or other Middle Eastern adventure!
I have wanted to go to Israel for many years. Several years ago, when I first heard that Steve was leading adult groups as well as student groups, I knew that I wanted to experience the Holy Land with Steve. I was able to go this past spring.I was traveling alone and I have never felt so safe. Along with Steve and his wife Sue, our local guide, Boaz, made sure that everything went smoothly. There were so many places to see! Steve did a great job of sharing his incredible knowledge of the area and making it come alive for us. His sermons availed themselves to meaningful conversations with my fellow travelers. I loved getting to know others on a spiritual level in that spiritual setting. Best experience ever!
We recently had the opportunity to travel with Steve and Sue to Israel. The size of our group was such that we each knew a few of the others but the remainder were new friends yet to be made. Within days we were one big traveling family sharing experiences of a lifetime. The itinerary and logistics were seamless while the magic of the trip was the delivery. The combination of the knowledge of a local Hebrew guide folded into the daily lessons from Steve made this journey one that can spark a new or distant fire in a soul. Whether your pilgrimage starts with history, geography, or faith your love and understanding of all three will be greatly enhanced in this unique setting with these special people.
