Travel Opportunities

Upcoming Trips

If you want to experience biblical or church history while getting course credit, you may enjoy one of our study trips. Each year, students can sign up to spend their spring break or the first weeks of summer in Israel, Greece, Turkey, Italy, Egypt, Jordan, Russia or other spots known for Biblical and church history. Students can also spend a semester abroad in Jerusalem, and many spend their spring breaks or summers on missions trips throughout the country and world.

See all the places we've gone on recent trips.

This coming summer (May 5-15, 2013), LeTourneau will offer two courses in Israel:

• BIBL 4413: PHYSICAL SETTINGS OF THE BIBLE:
  In this course, taught by Dr. Kelly Liebengood, sites relevant to biblical events, biblical backgrounds, and early church history will be explored. Archaeological, historical, literary, and biblical materials are correlated with sites and features of Israel.

• HIST 4493: EXPLORING THE LIFE OF JESUS IN ISRAEL: This course, taught by Dr. Viktor Roudkovski, will explore the life and ministry of historical Jesus in the first century A.D. Palestine. Special attention will be given to Jesus’ Jewish background in the wider context of the Greco-Roman world.
  

The trip will include visits to the Sea of Galilee, Capernaum, Caesarea Philippi, Tiberias, Mt. Carmel, the Negev desert, the Dead Sea, Qumran, Masada, a Bedouin camp, Old Jerusalem, the Temple Mount, the Holocaust museum, and the Garden Tomb.
