Discover Israel operates in accordance with the guidelines of the IDF Home Front Command and in close coordination with Chosen People Ministries Israel\, Sarel\, and local authorities. We monitor conditions daily\, adjust the itinerary when necessary\, and communicate promptly with participants should circumstances change. We also encourage you to review the latest travel advisories issued by your country’s embassy or foreign affairs office before your trip. \n\n\n\n\nWhat is the payment and refund policy?\nA 50% deposit is due at the time of registration to reserve your place on the trip. The remaining balance is due by April 1\, 2027. No refunds will be issued after April 1\, 2027. \n\n\n\nWe strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance. \n\n\n\nBy registering for Discover Israel\, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to the payment\, cancellation\, and refund policy. \n\n\n\n\nWhat expenses should I plan for?\nThe Discover Israel registration fee includes accommodations\, transportation within Israel\, meals as outlined in the itinerary\, guided tours\, ministry activities\, and program-related expenses. \n\n\n\nParticipants are responsible for airfare\, travel insurance\, personal expenses\, and gratuities.

Please plan to arrive on Wednesday\, May 19\, 2027. \n\n\n\nAdditional travel information will be provided to accepted participants. \n\n\n\n\nDo I need a visa?\nYes. You must apply for the ETA-IL entry permit ($7\, takes 1–2 days for approval) at least 72 hours before departure. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months. \n\n\n\n\nWhat are the hotel accommodations like?\nAccommodations are provided at 4-star hotels on a double-occupancy (twin-share) basis\, with two people per room and a private bathroom. \n\n\n\nIf you are traveling alone\, we will match you with a same-gender roommate whenever possible. \n\n\n\nIf you prefer a private room\, a limited number are available for an additional $1\,622. \n\n\n\n\nWhat currency do I need?\nIsrael’s national currency is the New Israeli Shekel (NIS).

SUMMARY:Outreach Israel
DESCRIPTION:Spend a Month Reaching Israelis While Exploring the Holy Land!\n\n\n\nOutreach Israel is a unique four-week ministry experience designed for young adults ages 18–30 who desire more than a traditional trip to the Holy Land. You will explore and trek through much of Israel\, experiencing both urban and rural settings—from the exciting major cities that are often in the news to the incredible quiet hills and mountains of the Galilee.  \n\n\n\nOutreach Israel offers excellent opportunities to share your faith in Jesus in genuine and practical ways while encouraging believing Israeli youth in their walk with the Lord. This trip includes ministry activities such as beach and café outreach\, youth work\, and service projects\, all while discovering Israel and visiting historic biblical sites.

You will live in close community\, “kibbutz-style\,” sharing life and ministry with your team. There will also be opportunities to study Hebrew\, but the language barrier will not be an obstacle\, as Israelis love practicing their English! \n\n\n\nThe memories\, friendships\, and ministry experiences you gain in this dry and thirsty land will stay with you for years to come. Bring your love and enthusiasm for the people of Israel\, use your gifts and talents\, and allow God to use you to share the hope of Messiah in the Land where Jesus lived. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nServe Alongside Local Ministry\n\n\n\nThroughout Outreach Israel\, participants will serve through practical ministry opportunities that demonstrate the love of Messiah through both word and deed. \n\n\n\nMinistry opportunities may include: \n\n\n\n\nBeach and café outreach\n\n\n\nEncouraging young Israeli believers in their faith\n\n\n\nYouth ministry opportunities\n\n\n\nService projects that bless local communities\n\n\n\nBible study\, prayer\, and worship with your team\n\n\n\n\n*Ministry opportunities are subject to change. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho Should Come?\n\n\n\nOutreach Israel is for believers ages 18–30 who have a heart for the people of Israel and desire to experience the Land through ministry\, service\, and biblical discovery. \n\n\n\nThis journey is ideal for those who: \n\n\n\n\nWant to grow in their faith through hands-on ministry experience\n\n\n\nDesire to encourage and serve Israeli youth\, local believers\, and not-yet-believers\n\n\n\nHope to return home with a deeper understanding of God’s purposes for Israel and the Jewish people\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCollege and Ministry Experience\n\n\n\nOutreach Israel may qualify as a missions experience\, internship\, or ministry requirement for some colleges and universities.  \n\n\n\nStudents interested in receiving academic credit or fulfilling a missions requirement should check with their school to determine eligibility and requirements. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEncounter the Land of the Bible\n\n\n\nDuring Outreach Israel\, you will experience many of the significant biblical and historical sites throughout the country\, including: \n\n\n\n\nJerusalem\n\n\n\nTel Aviv\n\n\n\nThe Galilee\n\n\n\nThe Dead Sea\n\n\n\nMasada\n\n\n\nEilat\n\n\n\nAdditional sites throughout Israel\n\n\n\n\n*Locations are subject to change. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTrip Details\n\n\n\nDates: May 27–June 21\, 2027Application Deadline: March 31\, 2027Cost: $2\,900 (airfare not included) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAre You Ready to Answer the Call?\n\n\n\nGod is at work among the people of Israel\, and you are invited to be part of it. \n\n\n\nOutreach Israel is more than a trip—it is an opportunity to serve\, share\, grow\, and experience the land where the story of Scripture unfolded. \n\n\n\nSpend four weeks impacting the lives of Israelis while exploring the Holy Land. \n\n\n\nApply today and be surprised with how God can work through you to share the gospel in Israel. \n\n\n\nFor questions or more information\, email info@chosenpeople.com or call (212)223-2253.
