2015
BOUNDLESS 2015 PRE CONGRESS TOUR Welcome
We warmly welcome you on a tour of the Holy Land.
As part of your plans to visit London for the historic International Congress, why not extend your visit to the Holy Land?
It will be great to visit the East End of London where William Booth founded The Salvation Army 150 years ago, but how special would it be to walk where Jesus walked some 2,000 Graham & Dawn years ago? To reach back to the roots of our movement is exciting; to reach back to the roots of our faith is life changing!
An easy flight from London will take you on an unforgettable spiritual journey as you sail on Galilee, sing carols in Bethlehem, float on the Dead Sea, walk through the ancient gates of Jerusalem, pray in Gethsemane, and much, much more! And to share all this with like- minded Salvationists from around the world makes this an opportunity not to be missed. We hope you can join us.
If you are interested, please complete the booking form and return to us at the address listed.
