At Carpenter Ministries, we believe every follower of Jesus should visit the place He called home, and will call home again, at least once in their life. Doing a Bible tour of Israel is an unforgettable experience that allows you to immerse yourself in the rich history, diverse culture, and breathtaking landscapes of this extraordinary country. From exploring ancient Biblical sites such as Capernaum and Shiloh to significant archaeological sites such as Masada and Qumran, this tour offers an opportunity to connect with the land and people that God refers to as the apple of His eye (Zechariah 2:8). With a knowledgeable local guide, a gifted Bible teacher, beautiful accommodations, and a carefully curated itinerary, you can be assured of an enriching journey that will transform your walk with the Lord and leave you wanting to return again and again. 

Our gifted Bible teacher, Dr Shirley Carpenter has been leading Bible tours to Israel since 1997 and possesses a profound understanding of the Bible. With her vast knowledge and expertise gained through numerous visits to Israel, Dr. Carpenter brings a unique perspective that will give you an unforgettable experience. 

Having studied in a Jewish Yeshiva, Dr Carpenter possesses a deep appreciation for the rich history and culture of this ancient land. Her time spent in the Yeshiva exposed her to aspects of the Jewish faith and culture that have provided a more Hebraic lens through which she reads and studies the Bible, and through her teachings, she provides a bridge between a Jewish mindset and a Christian mindset; enabling you to better understand the Scriptures - the cultural context they were written in and their relevance and application to your life today.

Dr. Carpenter's enthusiasm is contagious, and her passion for the Bible and Israel is evident in every word she speaks. As you explore the various Biblical sites, walk through the vibrant streets of Jerusalem, and traverse the breathtaking landscapes, Dr Carpenter will teach you the historical and spiritual significance of each location, helping you to connect on a deeper level with the stories and teachings that have shaped your faith.

In considering a tour with Carpenter Ministries, know that we do our best to keep our tour prices low and as close to the cost rate as possible and we encourage you to compare our costs to other ministries offering Israel tours.
