The Experience

Biblical Study Tours with George DeJong

Pastor George DeJong and Under The Fig Tree Ministries seeks to provide ongoing shade and sweet fruit for those who desire to further their study of the Bible through an in depth Biblical Study Tour in Egypt, Jordan, and Israel.

After walking through Egypt, Jordan, and Israel, many say they will never read the Bible in the same way. The pages are no longer black and white, but are in full color as the stories jump off the pages.

We invite you to hike the Holy Land and experience the living Bible in ways you never dreamed possible.

George DeJong reminds me of an ancient prophet. He has the unique ability to understand the text of the Scripture in it's original context as the ancient sages did. His teaching is Biblical, contextual and dynamic. In classic Jewish fashion it is riveting and relevant so that God's desire to partner with his people in bringing his shalom is presented in a compelling way. I have learned a great deal from his exceptional Torah study and teaching. To "sit under the fig tree" with George in the lands of the Bible is a life changing experience."

I traveled to Egypt and Israel with George in March/April 2011. I was impressed with the care, understanding, and professionalism of his leadership as well as the expertise of GTI Tours. Together, their experience and intimate knowledge of the current situation released me from
worry or concern for our safety. I am confident in their ability to assess the current situations and their judgment. With all that we experienced I was amazed that they didn't miss a beat and were able to quickly adjust to any changes in the agenda so that we would have the maximum experience. I highly recommend and encourage traveling with George and the GTI team.

Now is the time to visit Egypt and Israel. My husband and I attended the March/April 2011 Bible Study tour with George DeJong. We felt secure in all of Egypt and would highly recommend that you trust the judgment of George DeJong and GTI tours. I must admit that we had some reservations prior to the tour, but from the time our airplane touched down in Cairo until we departed Israel, we felt secure and actually never gave it a thought that any one of us would ever be in danger. Egypt is ready for you. Go for it!!! It's a "Trip of a Lifetime."

Our Biblical Study Tours travel through
Egypt, Jordan, and Israel


Egypt portion...

The Israelites are suppressed by the power and wealth of Egypt and Pharoah. It is in this context that God hears the cries of His children and sends Moses to lead them on a journey that will shape them to be His servants and stewards. Following the Exodus narrative in the Bible, you will gain understanding in why God chose to put His people in Egypt, you will meet God on the top of Sinai, and journey through the same wilderness as the Israelites.

Jordan portion...

The Nabatians were a powerful group of people that influenced this land. Look into the promise land from where God showed Moses and begin experiencing the connection from Moses to John to Jesus. Jordan today still represents the true essence of hospitality and community.

Israel portion...

The land flowing with milk and honey, The Promise Land. Walk where Jesus walked, experience His ministry and the Bible in context of the Galilee, Jerusalem, and the Shephalah. A different kind of Pharoah influenced north of Galilee as well as in Jerusalem. Jesus called His Disciples from the Galilee region where a large part of His ministry took place. See, hear, and set your hearts on how God uses this land to tell His love story.
