ISRAEL TOUR UPDATE

A blessed New Year to everyone,

Pastor would like to update you about our planned Israel tours. Both trips are still on, just postponed:

There is global uncertainty over the Iranian situation.
We have been strongly advised against pursuing the Petra extension option. Petra is located in Jordan, and border crossings can be problematic at this time.

There are a number of prophesies about Israel for the latter part of 2012. This causes the Israelis some concern.
Pastor’s resources are still on target, but there has been a one-year moratorium imposed on the drilling.
Because of the above and other factors, a decision has been made to postpone both the fall and spring tours for one year.

The dates have changed. That means we have to go back to the beginning and start over with the pre-registration process. If you want to participate in one of the tours, please submit your preference along with your contact information. Send email to abundantlifetours@yahoo.com. If you chose to participate in one of the tours:

If you were on Pastor’s original master list from September 2010, Pastor will cover your ticket, room, and two daily buffet meals at the hotels.

Your cost for the tour ($2000 per person, estimated) should cover the fuel surcharge and airport taxes, the tour bus and guide, tips, itinerary entrance fees, baggage handling, airport transfers, etc.

With approval, children 12+ and those not on Pastor’s original list will pay the full price.
Remember that each individual is also responsible for their own passports and travel insurance, as well as lunches, souvenirs, personal expenses and optional fees during the tour.

This is a great opportunity, to take a 12-day trip to Israel at a fraction of the normal cost!
The Bible will come alive to you, and you WILL never be the same!!!
Seats are limited on each tour, so please forward your tour preference while seats are still available.
Notice the registration cut-off dates below.

Prepare NOW - start setting aside what you will need for the tour so that you will be ready when the time comes. The entire balance of your part of the tour cost is due with your official registration. Cut-off dates for registration are:

December 2012 for the Fall 2013 tour
April 2013 for the Spring 2014 tour

Please do not hesitate to ask questions! Announcements, instructions, forms, updates, and other information will be made available on the church website over the coming months.
