What have some of the “Stones & Living Stones” alumni Pastors said after going with us since 2013?

“Praying and worshipping together as a group and with local leaders and pastors was an amazing experience.”

“It is hard to explain but meeting brothers and sisters in this part of the world was deeply meaningful, humbling and very encouraging.”

“We did adventuresome stuff that I had never thought of when I think of a typical Holy Land Tour. Fun memories and lots of laughs together was really good for my soul. We also went off the tourist trail to see extra sites most people do not get to see.”

“I immensely enjoyed meeting local pastors in the ancient biblical locations where they live and serve today!”

“Having local, scholarly, licensed, Christian guides and all the hands on care of the Living Stones Today’s team made our experience extraordinary.”

“Hearing…from a former muslim now turned follower of Jesus…that we American pastors ‘are the ends of the earth’ was shocking, profound and an unexpected gift that I ponder to this day.”
