Our guide, Dr. Moshe Bronstein, a Jewish born Christian and Biblical archeologist, is one of the most highly sought after tour guides available in Israel today. You can trust that Moshe will show you the real Israel and the true biblical sites. We love Moshe and could not imagine experiencing Israel without him. We have no doubts that you will feel the same way!

Moshe is an Israeli born ”Sabra”, a soldier, and is an expert on security and military strategy. In 1967, during the Six Day War, Moshe met with an unfortunate incident of death while fighting to liberate Jerusalem. He was miraculously revived days later and rehabilitated.  The direction of Moshe’s life took a pointed turn because he knew that God had given him another chance for a higher purpose. While he carried on with his duties, he discovered that he could not ignore this strong calling. He followed his passion and love for the land and the people of Israel—the people of God. 

Moshe combined his political and military expertise with his love for biblical studies.  He took up archaeological studies and, after 30 years, has established a prominent name for himself in the field.  He is also still heavily active in raising funds and helping to develop sites, connecting people from all over the world to help support biblical and archeological works in Israel.

When Moshe Bronstein shares and speaks, you can feel his passion and love for his nation and his God. He digs into the Scripture as only a messianic archaeologist can. He has been dubbed as a modern-day “Indiana Jones,” finding and bringing to life the places that we’ve only read about.  His passion and tireless research challenge us not only to understand our Bible from a Hebrew perspective, but also to grasp the spiritual significance of walking where Jesus and other Biblical figures actually walked and lived! 

Moshe always brings us to sights beyond ‘tourism’, taking us to places few tourists go.  You will be on the path as well as ‘off the beaten path’ if you are with Moshe.  He loves to create unique experiences that help you fully feel the impact of each place. He unselfishly shares the knowledge and understanding that he has gleaned these past many years.  He lives as if for one purpose…to secure the Land of Israel and to help make it known and better understood.
Moshe Bronstein invites you to come and share an experience of a lifetime with him!



Ray Hughes, founder of Selah Ministries, has been in full time ministry for 40 years.  He received his Doctorate of Divinity in 1996 and is recognized internationally as a clear prophetic voice. He travels in the U.S. and internationally as a speaker, author, storyteller, singer/songwriter and musicologist.  In addition to his research and teaching expertise, Ray is passionate about training musicians, releasing creative people into their destinies, and launching them with purpose into the world and church.
Widely regarded as an authority on biblical worship and the Tabernacle of David, Ray’s years of research and revelation have ultimately led him back to Zion, where it all began.  He believes now more than ever that Acts 15:16 is for such a time as this, and that the principles of worship established by God through David are being revealed in deeper ways and on greater levels than the church has ever experienced. 

In cooperation with those who are uncovering the City of David and other significant biblical sites, Ray is currently leading teams of worshippers and intercessors on tours of the Holy Land.  These tours are missions with the purpose of bringing the sounds and the songs of the nations back to Israel in order to glorify and bless the God of Israel.
 


Brian and Ramey Whalen are madly in love with Jesus and are ever pursuing a deeper relationship with their Savior. It is out of this relationship that they worship Him, following His Holy Spirit and allowing the Lord to inhabit their praise. Brian and Ramey believe that every creative expression is a manifestation of a characteristic of God, the Creator.

The Whalens travel full time, teaching and leading worship while encouraging and releasing others to engage uninhibited in new expressions of biblical praise! Their desire is to see people encounter the Holy Spirit in new ways, walking away with changed lives and a deeper revelation and confidence of who they are in Christ. 

As worship leaders it is their goal to be dynamic followers of Jesus and skilled facilitators and hosts of His Presence.  They strive to cultivate an atmosphere of creativity and excellence in which the Holy Spirit can be seen, heard, felt, experienced and encountered in every way.  They are committed to releasing biblical praise and worship and to teaching, equipping and releasing others to do the same. They believe that every person is created to be a sound of worship in the earth and not just an echo of someone else’s expression, releasing the songs and sounds that the Lord has entrusted to them.

In 2009 Brian and Ramey visited Israel for the first time. Changed forever by their tour there, they left with a passion to see others experience the holy land and with a vision to see the sounds of the nations return to Zion.  As it says in Isaiah 35:10,  “And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with singing, with everlasting joy on their heads.”  They have since returned many times to Israel leading worship, studying and learning the history and culture of Israel, and seeing the Lord move in powerful ways.

Through divine relationships and with the favor of God, Brian and Ramey continue their pursuit to be the sight and the sound of Spirit led worship all throughout Israel. Just as David did, they long to usher the very presence of God into Jerusalem through radical, uninhibited demonstrative acts of praise. And it is their great desire to bring as many people as possible to join them in this pursuit.  May the God of Israel be praised!
