Andy served for over twelve years in Jewish ministries and is highly qualified to bring you a fresh exciting look at your Jewish Roots as he presents the Bible through Jewish eyes.  Rev. Barnett has played a major role in the planting of two Messianic Congregations. Each committed to reaching out to the "lost sheep of the House of Israel". He currently serves as Co-Pastor and teacher at Shabbat Shalom Fellowship in Fort Mill, South Carolina. Rev. Barnett has also participated in teaching at the College Enrichment Program for a major church in the greater Charlotte area.

Michelle, Andy's wife, is a Jewish believer, who has served and is involved  with Jewish missions.

Highlights

Each tour, in addition to the outstanding teaching, includes many biblically important points of interest plus other areas of significance to the state of Israel.                               

Outreaches  

While in Israel you will see and hear about Jewish ministries that Shabbat Shalom is actively engaged with in bringing the Messiah to the Jewish people. It has been the policy of Shabbat Shalom to support prayerfully and financially other Jewish ministries in key areas where they already may have an effective outreach. We will meet:

1. People from the Galilee Experience-The largest seed planting operation in the world.
2. Special visit by church planting team/missionaries

    

*One evening we will get to shop and see a video at the Galilee Experience in Tiberas.

 

Studying the Bible Through Jewish Eyes

One of the major advantages of the Shabbat Shalom Tour is the opportunity to study scriptures through Jewish Eyes. It is a goal of our ministry, to constantly expose you to the Jewish Roots of your faith. The following are just a few of the topics we will be listening to and studying about:             

1. Messiah in the Passover 2. Messiah in Shabbat (The Sabbath) 3. Jewish Evangelism 4. How Moses taught about Jesus. 5. The Biblical Feasts (God's Plan for Mankind?) 6. Gog/Magog Vs Armageddon

Rev. Barnett teaching on the Temple Mount about "How Moses Taught About Jesus"

Lodging

Free Time

At several times throughout the tour we will provide free time for shopping or just relaxing. Your tour Directors will accompany you on these shopping trips. You will not be turned loose on your own unless that is your wish. Most evenings will be taken up by study, visits from missionaries, and other special surprises.

Security and Safety

     Since 1948 there have been several times when Israel had to close it’s borders to tourists. Having dealt with people engaged in hundreds of tours to Israel there has never been an incident of a tourist being hurt or killed by terrorists. If you plan to go to the Holy Land you can count on the following: Satan will begin, about 30 days before you are to depart, to try and cause a major incident or to create a climate of fear to keep you from going to Israel.

Why keep Christians out of Israel?

     Paul gives us the answer in Romans 11:14 (JNT):  in the hope that somehow I may provoke some of my own people to jealousy and save some of them! What do you and Paul have in common, that could possibly make a Jewish person jealous? The only thing I know is the one thing that Satan hates more than anything else in the world. With Paul, we share the Holy Spirit, and He is the one thing Satan does not want Jewish people to see in us. He has convinced them every Christian is out to do them harm. They expect us to evangelize them and are turned off at the first words out of our mouths. What they and Satan cannot tolerate is the love, compassion, and understanding that Jesus can exhibit though us. It is the Jesus in us that is to drive them to jealously.  If we are not there in Israel how can an Israeli see Jesus in you or me?

     For that reason, and that reason alone, Satan will always try and keep you and every other believing Christian out of Israel. The Jesus in you might just provoke some and they will be saved. That is why evangelism in the Holy Land is different from here in the US. Our behavior and testimony, with Jesus showing through in our daily lives, are the greatest means we have for reaching out to a Jewish person. They expect you to come on strong and mention His name time and time again. It is when you show His love and compassion that they really begin to ask the all-important questions about why you believe what you believe.

     Every hotel, kibbutzim, guesthouse, bed and breakfast establishment is equipped to handle your safety in time of an emergency. Every male and female driver and guide has been trained to immediately take you to safe areas designated throughout the country. Each one, both male and female, has undergone military training and is equipped to handle any situation which may arise.

Don’t let Satan keep you from the Holy Land. We would never take you into an area we did not consider absolutely safe. We will tell you why we are not visiting certain areas should we feel your safety could be jeopardized. We, as much as God, want you to enjoy your visit to His Holy Land.
