Best of Israel Tour Info Session

Monday, June 5 | 6 p.m. EST (virtual)

Geneva College invites students, alumni and friends on The Best of Israel Tour, scheduled for December 18-29, 2023. This virtual information session hosted by Dr. Scott Shidemantle and Dr. Jonathan Watt will highlight past trips and provide you with an overview of the upcoming trip should you be interested in signing up. You may also learn more and register for the trip at www.geneva.edu/israel.

Led by Geneva College Bible Department professors Dr. Byron Curtis, Dr. Scott Shidemantle and Dr. Jonathan Watt, participants will travel to Israel to see some of the locations where Jesus walked and taught, and to explore important geographic and archaeological sites in the Holy Land. An optional three-day extension to Jordan is also available December 29, 2023-January 2, 2024.

The trip is associated with the fall Archaeology and Geography of Israel course, BIB 341. Students may take the tour with or without enrolling in the class. Alumni and friends who register for the trip and place a deposit may audit the archaeology and geography course in person at no charge.

Dr. Shidemantle says, “Not only will we read about the location of some of the stories of the Bible, but we'll actually visit them - so we'll see and feel these stories. Travelers have told me more than once, ‘I'll never read the Bible the same way again.’”

Please contact the Office of Alumni Engagement for additional information regarding the info session or assistance registering at alumni@geneva.edu or (724) 847-6590. Please direct all questions regarding the Tour of Israel trip to Dr. Scott Shidemantle at sshidema@geneva.edu.
