The GOD TV 2009 Israel Tour comes to an end...

28th October 2009

Dear GOD TV family,

The 2009 GOD TV Israel Tour has come to an end, but the memories we all take back home to our 24 nations will always remain.

This past week in the Holy Land has been a time of refreshing, great sight-seeing and adventure - interspersed with intimate moments of worship, devotion and reflection as we walked in the footsteps of Christ our Savior.

What a truly spiritual experience this holiday has been. God has ministered to so many of our pilgrims in a very personal way! New bonds of friendship were made and many Pilgrims are sure to return for our exciting 2011 GOD TV Tour.

If you have been following the Israel Tour on this site, as video messages, photos and blogs have been added to, there are still a few additions to come - so keep checking for updates! Rory Alec and all of us at GOD TV have so loved keeping you all up-to-date with the latest Tour news, photos and clips.

If you have a heart for Israel or have visited the Holy Land before, then make sure you get yourself and Exclusive Israel 60th Anniversary DVD Combo set by ordering online today! As a GOD TV viewer, you are also invited to be part of uncovering and maintaining the Biblical history housed in the Negev Desert by donating towards a historic excavation.

We hope to see you in 2011 for a time in Israel with the GOD TV family you will never forget! Who knows, you may even see yourself in our 2011 Israel Tour gallery…

Blessings,

Bo Sander

GOD TV Tour Director

Israel Tour Pilgrims walk where Christ walked...

26th October 2009

After traveling up to Jerusalem we made the most of our time with an action-packed day that began with worship on the Mt. of Olives.

Rory Alec welcomed all the GOD TV Pilgrims, and we then went on to visit various Bible sites - including Gethsemane and the Via Dolorosa (the path Christ took as He carried the Cross).

After dinner the whole group spent time with Rory and the GOD TV team, as they were filled in on the progress of the GOD TV One Million+ Trees for Israel project. We then had communion together, followed by a time of anointing with oil. Rory anointed each and every Pilgrim as well as members of the GOD TV team.

Today was spent at the Wailing Wall, where many members of the tour left prayers. In the afternoon everyone enjoyed a visit to the GOD TV Broadcast Centre. And the day came to a close at the Garden Tomb. This was a special time for all, as we broke bread together.

Tomorrow we travel to the Dead Sea and visit Qumran! Blessings to all and wish you were here.

Bus Captains share some Tour news...

23rd October 2009

All the pilgrims are having a wonderful time in Israel. The Tour started in Tiberias with 280+ pilgrims enjoying a boat journey on the Sea of Galilee, which included a special welcome from Bo Sander (GOD TV Tour Director) and some praise and worship.

The weather has been very hot with temperatures in the 30s (Celsius). Sites visited so far include: the Mt. of Beatitudes, Capernaum, Caesarea Philippi and Mt. Carmel.
On Tuesday evening 60 people were baptized in the River Jordan - with rejoicing and a real presence of the Lord!

For many of those on the Tour it is their first visit to the land of Israel and the Bible is coming alive for them. There is a great sense of family amongst all the GOD TV Tour-goers who have come from over 22 nations!

Blessings!
