PASTORS TRIPS

We bring influential pastors and leaders to Israel for an all expense paid, immersive 9-day experience that invests into their development as a global leader. These trips offer pastors and leaders the opportunity to rediscover the birthplace of Christianity and experience the profound spiritual heritage of the land.

Additionally, they will meet governmental, religious, and cultural leaders, gaining a deeper understanding of modern Israel's significance both spiritually and politically.

As a member of the Nexus, you can apply for and nominate other pastors for a full scholarship to Israel. These trips introduce leaders to Israel in three dimensions: past, present, and future.

Modern, Biblical, and historical Israel collide in these ten-day immersive trips.

You will stand on the soil of patriarchs and Psalmists. You will see the stones of ancient altars and temples. You’ll feel the Jordan River and sail the Sea of Galilee –– the very waters that birthed our Christian faith. Scripture comes alive in a multidimensional way.

You will also learned about the present beauty and complexity of the Holy Land through pivotal conversations with religious, political, and cultural leaders. These conversations lead you to grasp afresh the imperative scripture, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem,” as you do so within the literal gates of Zion.

The archaeological, cultural, and religious experiences all unfold in the context of relationship. As you journey with 30 other pastors, camaraderie forms and a lifelong brotherhood is born.

All expenses, including airfare and land tours, are organized and paid for by generous donors from all over the world.

“I have to say that this trip was absolutely life changing for me! My perspective towards the Jewish people has been completely flipped… I have been encouraged and inspired! Even though I am quiet, I will be very loud in my support for Israel!” (J.T. Jordan)

“I can definitely say this with confidence….. I have fallen in love with my Jewish family! It’s a long lost family member I didn’t know I even had... but I am once again reunited with them. North Gate Houston has and will continue to STAND WITH ISRAEL. But in GREATER MEASURE!” (Eric Green)

“…something is happening in my Spirit as I am SEEING with my EYES the stories I could only PICTURE in my HEAD. This isn’t a tourist trip-for me this is a holy pilgrimage and God has been showing up in POWERFUL ways!” (Stephen Luna)

“The pastor’s trip was a pilgrimage for me. I got to see with my own eyes what we support while meeting more pastors with the same heart. I received inspiration and revelation . . . I was deeply educated on my role and responsibility as a pastor to inform my own congregation and leaders of our role in supporting and standing with ISRAEL. I was convicted and motivated to do more.” (Joe Skiles)
