This experience is something we have been dreaming about for a while now. A guided tour of Israel is more than a simple vacation. It’s a once in a lifetime experience. We wanted to provide our church family the chance to “walk where Jesus walked” and experience Scripture’s context and culture like never before. We have crafted a custom trip to Isreal exclusively designed for the Cross Church family. We want YOU and your family to join us (ages ten and up).
Unlike other Israel trips, this is an extended ten-night stay in the Holy Lands at an incredible price. On our private tour, we will worship on the Sea of Galilee, visit the Lord’s tomb, float on the Dead Sea, and so much more! This adventure through the Holy Land will be a spiritual awakening. Join your Cross Church family in the summer of 2022 as we explore Israel together.

As you might suspect, no one can guess the future (except the Lord), so we are uncertain about how covid could affect individuals going on this trip. Since this trip is approximately sixteen months away, we feel comfortable believing that travel should be back to more pre-covid norms by the time we make our departure.
Purchasing the optional travel insurance is an excellent way to protect yourself if you were to get COVID-19 or for any other reason were unexpectantly not allowed to travel. The Cross Church team highly encourages making this optional purchase when possible. The chance to purchase travel insurance will be provided to you while you pay your deposit.
If the trip is cancelled due to another worldwide COVID-19 pandemic where the US government shuts down air travel: State department level 4 “Do not travel” will be available for waived change fees for travel impacted by coronavirus, including any flights purchased before April 17, 2020, departing March 2020 through March 2021 and all tickets purchased March 1, 2020 through March 30, 2021. If your travel is eligible for a waiver, you can move your travel dates and even select a new destination. Your unused ticket will be applied toward your new flight, and in some instances a fare difference will apply. If the new fare is lower, you will receive an eCredit for the difference. If the new fare is higher, the difference will be collected.
Information for Travelers Returning to the United States from the US State Department:
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect countries differently. Challenges to any international travel at this time may include mandatory COVID-19 testing requirements, quarantines, travel restrictions, and closed borders. Foreign governments may implement restrictions with little notice, even in destinations that were previously low risk. If you choose to travel internationally, your trip may be severely disrupted, and it may be difficult to arrange travel back to the United States.
If you are planning to travel overseas or if you are currently overseas and planning to return to the U.S., you should contact your airline for specific information about testing requirements for travelers. Because airlines may adopt and modify their own specific policies to implement CDC’s new rule, you should contact the carrier for your U.S.-bound flight and not rely on information from other carriers or information or experience from previous trips.
The Department of State advises all U.S. citizens to read the country-specific Travel Advisories and U.S. Embassy COVID pages for updates on the impact of COVID-19 worldwide.
Effective January 26, the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will require all air passengers entering the United States (including U.S. citizens and Legal Permanent Residents) to present a negative COVID-19 test, taken within three calendar days of departure or proof of recovery from the virus within the last 90 days. Airlines must confirm the negative test result or proof of recovery for all passengers two years of age and over prior to boarding. Airlines must deny boarding of passengers who do not provide documentation of a negative test or recovery.
