Welcome to On the Way. This is Tony Crisp, and this is Podcast 1512. I'm being bombarded with questions about next year's traveling schedule to Israel and the Mediterranean. As many of you know, there has been a lot of conflict and up and down over the last couple of years related to travel to Israel. While some have gone, others have not gone because they didn't want to spend time in a bomb shelter or to have an overwhelming threat hanging over them. Well, in February we're going to make our first trip back over February 8th through the 19th of 2027. Now this trip will open up after September the first. We already have many that have signed up, but we have reserved places up until September the first, and then it will open up to the public in general. This is going to be a great trip. It's going to be 12 days. We are going to stay one night on the Mediterranean. We're going to stay three nights in the Galilee. And then we're going one night to Inbochek, which is on the Dead Sea, just a few minutes from Masada. And then we're going to spend the rest of the time in Jerusalem. It's four or five nights. It's going to be a great time. And we're going to see so many things. We're going into Samaria and we'll be going to Shiloh, maybe another place there where very few people will ever go. But we're going to be going into Bethlehem and of course all the environs around Jerusalem and going up and down the Jordan Valley all along the seacoast. I'll be teaching at every major site. And so it's going to be a great time. The trip is already on schedule. Again, it'll be opening up after September 1st to the general public. You can go online at TLCHolylandTours.com and look at the trip now. Then the day after Easter is our big spring study tour. And we'll fly out on Monday after Easter and we'll be gone for 13 days just in Israel. It's going to be a great trip. And on the 7th of April, we're going to be going to the Epicenter Summit in Jerusalem. And it'll be a whole day and into the evening. As many of you know, the Epicenter Summit is put on by the Joshua Fund, Joel Rosenberg, and it is going to be a tremendous time this year. Of course, Joel will be speaking. Mike Huckabee, Ambassador Huckabee will be there, President Isaac Herzog, and Graham Lotz, Greg Glory, Jack Graham, and several others. It's going to be tremendous. Great music, great preaching, great teaching. That's all included in the price of the conference. The trip will go up by the weekend, and people will immediately start registering for that. This is a super, absolutely super tour. We're going to be staying, of course, on the Mediterranean one night. And then in the Galilee, we're going to stay at the beautiful Magdala Hotel. Many of you have been there and have seen the synagogue that is built at the base of that hotel. When you're in the lobby, you're overlooking it. It's our favorite hotel in the Galilee. And many of you know there's a store, a pharmacy, all of those things that are right there, handy, a coffee shop. It's just a great place to stay. It's right on the water. This is the major tour to Israel that I do every year. We go up and down Israel, north to south, and uh we spend so many uh nights in Jerusalem. We go all around the environs of Jerusalem, of course, Bethlehem, Shiloh, Ella Valley, all of the places that we go, when many times it takes uh two or three tours to see all the things we see, we see them all while we're there. I'll be teaching at every site. Any of the times we go to Israel or the Mediterranean, you can get fully accredited associate's degree work, uh, bachelor's degree work, master's degree work through an accredited university in Georgia. It is an absolute wonderful trip, and I hope that many of you can go during that springtime season. This is after the latter rains, and it is just spectacularly beautiful. If you ever want to go to Israel at a beautiful time when all the flowers are blooming and so forth, then April is a great time to go, and that's when we're going to be there the majority of the time, and I hope you can go. After Mother's Day, Karen and I'll be going back to Greece, and it'll be three-night, four-day cruise that goes with that. We just were there three months ago, and uh had just an incredible time. The season is the best time to go to Greece in May. It is not hot, it's not cold, it's just absolutely spectacular, low humidity, and the weather is usually uh tremendous. And we're going north, south, east, west in Greece, and we'll go to all the key places that you've always wanted to see. We're following the footsteps of the Apostle Paul, going to a couple of places that are not uh specifically New Testament related. We're going to Meteora, which is just uh an incredible uh sight to see. Many of you know of the great monasteries that are built there. Some of you are fans of older James Bond movies. You remember Meteora in uh for your eyes only at the end of that particular episode, and it is just beautiful. We're going to Delphi and we'll stay there, near Delphi, at a beautiful hotel and overlooking the Bay of Corinth. And of course, we'll go to Philippi, Thessaloniki, Athens, Corinth, uh, Sincrea, all of those places that you read about in the Bible, Neapolis, Berea. It's just absolutely spectacular, and I hope you can go. And in the fall, we're going to Israel again, and then we're going to the island of Patmos. We'll probably fly into Ismir, uh, get on a ship, go out to Patmos. I'll teach the entire book of Revelation on the island of Patmos where it was written. Then we'll go look at the churches and study the churches that are mentioned, the seven churches in Revelation 2 and 3. I don't like taking a podcast to talk about travels, but so many are asking about next year wanting to go that I wanted you to know that the trips are starting to go up. One is already on there that will be open for registration to the general public. We already have approximately 2122 that are part of a group that have the first reservations. Those are made, and so it'll open up September the first, and it'll be open up to everyone. The other trips will go up very soon. By the weekend, the epicenter trip will be going up the TLC spring study tour, then the Grease trip will go up for May, and then the fall of 27, the trips will go up very soon. So contact me if you have any questions. I am so grateful to God that we're going to be able to go and start uh discipling people there. Many of you have uh wanted to go and you've been waiting, and so now is the time to go. We have great prices. I pray that some of you can go and we can study the word of God together. There's nothing, nothing, that will open up your eyes and make the word of God come alive in you than going and studying at the very places where it happened. We will walk where Jesus walked, but also where Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and King David and the great saints of the Tanakh, the law, the prophets, and the writings, and the apostles preached. So I hope you can go. God bless you. For on the way, this is Tony Crisp.
