Discover the Leadership Principles of Jesus

Holy Land Tour with Nelson Searcy – May 22-30, 2014

Dear Pastor,

Will you join me on a life-changing trip to the Holy Land for Pastors and Church Leaders on May 22-30, 2014?

I'm hosting a DELUXE FIRST CLASS trip to the Holy Land for Pastors, your spouse, and up to 6 key leaders from your church.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you to experience the sights and sounds that we read and teach about in scripture first-hand. This special "Leader's Only" trip is designed to be a spiritual leadership retreat for you, your spouse, and your key staff or lay leaders.

On our tour, I will teach you the Leadership Principles of Jesus in the places where he demonstrated them -- on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, in the streets of Jerusalem, by the olive trees in Gethsemane, at the Garden Tomb, and more!

In addition, you'll learn from the Holy Land scholar who will serve as our tour guide, and our own Church Leader Insights scholar on the Old and New Testaments. Plus, my Worship Pastor, Jason Hatley, will serve as our musical guest and will lead our special worship services in some of the Holy Land's most sacred sites.

It's going to be a spiritual and leadership growth experience that you won't forget!

Our private trip is being handled logistically through Inspiration Tours - the gold standard in Christian Holy Land Tours - and every element (air travel, ground transportation, lodging, meals, destinations, etc.) is being prepared to give you the best possible VIP experience.

Our all-inclusive 9 Day tour includes:

• Superior hotel accommodations at two of Israel's finest first class hotels
• Round Trip air transportation from the US to Israel
• Transfers between hotel and airport
• Travel by private, deluxe, air-conditioned motorcoach
• All meals - Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner while in Israel (with some special experiences built in!)
• Admission to ALL tour destinations
• Our own personal English-speaking, licensed Holy Land Scholar who will serve as our Tour Guide
• A spiritual, theological and biblical growth experience for you, your spouse, and up to 6 of your key leaders

This First Class, all-inclusive 9-Day Tour of the Holy Land is only $4,098 per person. (a bargain compared to other first-class Holy Land Tours available).

The Final Deadline is coming up and it's time to secure your spot with an initial deposit (only $500 per person). This deposit guarantees your spot and locks in your registration rate (plus it allows you to start planning now for this life-changing journey).

You may be thinking, "Nelson... the trip isn't until May."

That’s true, but you see we only have about 19 spots remaining. And well . . . I don’t want you to miss out!

The initial deposit will secure your spot, and because we’re working with Inspiration Tours, they can work out a payment plan with you to help you spread the cost over several months if needed.

Just think... if your church saved just $100 a week, you could be a part of this special "Pastors and Leaders" tour of the Holy Land next year!

I promise you one thing... this trip is something you'll never forget!

I hope to see you in the Holy Land!
