My name is Andre Moubarak, and I am from Jerusalem. My ancestors are Aramaic speaking Christians, indigenous to Southern Lebanon, northern Israel, and Western Syria. Our community says the same prayers as Saint James, the head of the Jerusalem Church in the Book of Acts. James was the brother of Jesus and their common language was Aramaic.

 

My frame of reference is the Bible – specifically the Gospels and the Book of Acts. In modern terms, I grew up in the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem, and I am a citizen of the state of Israel. I speak 5 languages – Aramaic, Arabic, Hebrew, English, and French. This is typical for the Christians because we usually work in an international setting. My job is a tour guide and I regularly travel throughout the whole country of Israel, and also to Europe, UK, the United States of America, Canada, South Africa, Philippines, and Singapore. Everywhere that I have visited in the world has a more stable peaceful society than my hometown of Jerusalem. My family and community have witnessed many conflicts in Jerusalem over the centuries. The Christians are a minority group, caught in the crossfire in the ongoing rivalry between our Muslim and Jewish neighbors. The Christian culture here is very peaceful and we avoid conflict. In his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus says “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” (Gospel of Matthew, chapter 5, verse 9, NIV).

 

Tourism in Israel was at its peak in the year 2019, and we expected even more tourists in the Spring season of 2020. It was going to be overfull capacity at all the hotels, tour sites, and all of the tour guides were fully booked for the whole season. When COVID-19 first hit Israel in early March 2020, we were surprised by how fast the virus pandemic spread around the globe, and the government of Israel shut down all tourism and closed the borders indefinitely.

 

Personally, I was grateful for the break from tour groups because I was really drained physically and needed an extended rest to restore my health. The COVID-19 shutdown was the perfect time to take a sabbatical in the USA. I left Israel on May 31, 2020. My wife’s family lives in Maryland and Texas, and we ended up spending 1 whole year in the USA based in those two states. We also traveled to a few other states, to speak in churches about making a journey to Israel in the future. It was a fun experience to rest in the USA, and take my time getting to know people in a relaxed setting. People were curious about my background and I was able to teach them some Aramaic phrases, the language of Jesus and His Disciples. I had so much time to develop my educational projects – write my 3rd book, record two seasons of my podcast, build a website, and develop virtual tours and Bible Study lessons on zoom meetings. It was a wonderful time of personal growth and I felt so calm in the USA.

But each season must come to an end, and my time of sabbatical ended in early May 2021. The vaccination program in Israel was very successful and the COVID-19 cases were very few in Israel by April 2021. The country was open again for local tourism and the Israeli government announced that foreign tour groups would be welcome to enter Israel in late May, June, and July on a provisional basis. We were hopeful for the tourism industry to heal and flourish, after 15 months of complete shutdown. I was excited to return to Israel and be with my team, and my family and friends, in Jerusalem. The Lord’s hands were on me during my long journey flying from Texas, to Newark, to Tel Aviv. I arrived on the afternoon of Saturday May 08, 2021. My brother picked me up from the airport, and as we drove to Jerusalem, we saw a checkpoint on the main road. Just a couple minutes after we passed through the checkpoint, a huge protest demonstration took place, and the police closed the roads to Jerusalem. I had just barely made it home safely! Outside the tension was escalating around the city of Jerusalem, and there were angry protests through the next couple days.

 

On Monday May 10, getting over jet lag I went to sit on my balcony to drink my coffee, and I was surprised to hear a loud war siren! The emergency alert also came on my phone. I immediately knew that Jerusalem was attacked and after like 15 seconds I heard a sound of 5 explosions! This confirmed to me that what I was thinking was true -- in my mind I said war will start soon. I experienced a severe culture shock, moving from a peaceful easy quality of life to a warzone and a lot of bloodshed in the region.

The war intensified the next day, with most of the rocket attacks from Hamas in Gaza targeting the city of Tel Aviv. I was stuck at home inside for COVID-19 quarantine for 2 weeks. (Quarantine is mandatory for all unvaccinated Israelis traveling home.) And outside my house a war zone was spreading all over Israel! My first thought was to use my access to social media to update my friends and followers and ask everyone to start praying. With my team in Jerusalem, I was able to host 3 virtual prayer meetings about the bad situation in Israel. People joined these prayer meetings on Zoom from all over the world and we prayed together for the Lord to have mercy and bring peace and healing to the people of both Israel and Gaza. Many of my former tour participants sent their prayers by messenger and email, and this was very encouraging to read to the team in Jerusalem. We were all in shock and grief.

 

I was very safe in Jerusalem in my apartment building, and I felt secure because there is a bomb shelter in my apartment.  But outside in the streets of Jerusalem there was like a civil war between Arab Muslims and Jews.  Many fights broke out in the streets and it was wildly violent. Throughout the whole country of Israel, neighbors turned against each other and the ethnic hatred erupted in cities that were usually models of coexistence between the Jewish and Muslim residents. Almost all of the Christian community decided to stay inside their homes, and not get involved.

The war lasted 11 days, thousands of missiles landed in Israel and vice versa in Gaza. While there were many casualties on both sides, there are always higher numbers of casualties in Gaza. At least 243 people, including more than 100 women and children, were killed in Gaza, according to its health ministry. In Israel 12 people, including two children, were killed, its medical service says. Both sides claimed victory in the conflict. Now images are emerging of the damage done by Hamas rocket fire and Israeli strikes. After they agreed to a ceasefire treaty, the problems decreased.

 

Our role as Aramean indigenous Christians believers is to pray for peace between the Muslims and the Jews. In the USA the atmosphere is so peaceful, like heaven on earth, and people live a very secure, prosperous, and peaceful life. In Jerusalem, it’s the opposite – tension, stress, a war zone, people are in a survival mode. There is no steady income. Peace is fleeting. People feel no hope. They are stuck in negative thinking. There are no jobs. There still remains some tension in the streets, but much less than during the war. In all my life living in Jerusalem , I never saw such tension in the streets, with fear between the two neighbors.

We need Christians to pray for the body of Christ here to continue in their efforts of reconciliation between Arabs and Jews. Hopefully tourism will come back soon and people will get busy again and return to work. The war came at a hard time, as people had been out of work for a long time and they were bored and frustrated.

People are planning to resume their group tours to Israel in the Fall 2021 and Spring 2022. We are doing extra training and preparation for the coming seasons. I will leave with you 5 prayer requests which are so badly needed today.

Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem, including all its inhabitants and all surrounding areas – for both Israelis and Palestinians.

 

Pray for leaders and all those in authority that they may pursue peace so we may live peaceful and have a quiet normal life.

Pray for healing of relationships between Jews and Arabs, especially for our young people who are exposed to this kind of hatred for the first time.

Pray for protection for our churches, communities and for our families. Some churches had to cancel their services or hold them online because of fear. Pray especially for Haifa, Acre, Lod, Ramle, Jaffa, Cana of Galilee and Jerusalem.

Pray for us to remember to turn our eyes to God, our refuge and strength, and to Jesus, the prince of peace.

How to Plan & promote your Tour to israel?
 
1. Establish a leadership team,set your goals,and enlist prayer supporters & find a spiritual covering.
 
Although you do not need any prior experience to lead a tour to Israel, you may want to enlist other individuals to help you in coordinating the details of the trip. You need to Establishing a leadership team of three or two people (Husband & Wife ) (especially if you are coming with a large group) can help drive the overall process and get the word out about the trip. You need to include a group treasurer, who will handle the financial responsibilities for the trip from beginning to end, as well as a tour logistics administrator (getting from their home to the flight and all the way here to Israel). Usually, the church secretary takes care of all the above. The leadership team will ideally be responsible for:
● Communicating with potential tour participants.
● Sending promotional materials and information to churches or individuals.
● Creating and maintaining a list of people who have expressed interest in going to Israel (this is also helpful for organizing future trips to Israel).

 

Coordinating regular meetings, prayer groups, or bible study for tour participants.
More importantly, we urge group leaders and participants to ask for prayer covering before,during, and after your tour. Prayer for strength, safety, and spiritual openness is crucial for the Holy Spirit to bring about life-changing growth.

 


 

2. Requesting the Tour Itinerary
This is where the ‘nuts and bolts’ planning of the tour begins. You will communicate your vision to Andre and Marie his, the Program Director, and together we will customize a meaningful program and tour that accomplishes your vision and goals. We customize each tour according to each church or ministry needs.

 

3. Tour Price Quotation

After the tour itinerary is finalized, a Tour Price Quote will be given by Twins Tours. At this point, the Group Leader will have all the information necessary to plan and make decisions. As the quote is being developed, there are several factors to keep in mind.


– Prices are higher during Jewish holiday times.


– The number of participants will determine how many free places you receive.

– The prices quoted are for double occupancy (There is a single supplement fee for single occupancy rooms).
– The type of hotel will affect prices. 4 stars or 5 stars

 

4. Reserving the Tour
The Tour Leader will then confirm the reservation with Twins Tours for the Tour, with the finalized confirmed dates, by the way better to have the final dates way in advance and that will result in a final contract with a payment schedule. And also At this point, your flight details must be final.

 

5. Prepare marketing materials
Now that your Tour is designed, priced, and air portions are final, having up to date and effective marketing materials is an excellent way to promote it. You may find that setting up a simple website or Facebook Instagram page, or Whats App group is an easy and efficient way to distribute the trip’s promotional materials and any other information.

 

6. Reach out & register participants
The upcoming Tour is now ready to be presented to potential participants in your circle of influence. This would include your church community, ministry partners, and friends as widely as possible by making announcements, short presentations, or hosting an informal ‘Israel Orientation Meeting’ to answer questions, show photos, and promote the tour, or even invite Andre to speak in your church about the trip.

 

7. Payment Terms & Conditions – Payment Schedule: 100 % of the entire amount should be wired 2 months prior to arrival in Israel. Please add any additional sending fees.($40 Varies with each bank & depends on the amount to be wired). For example, if the 100% down payment is $25,000, please send $25,000 + your banks’ sending fees. Twins Tours will absorb the receiving fees on our end. After the transfers are made, immediately notify Twins Tours so we can confirm with our bank. Most international wire transfers take 2 days to one week to receive, depending on holidays, weekends, etc. – Each payment will generate a receipt from Twins Tours with a final invoice showing all payments and any refunds, if applicable.

 

– Any additional costs accrued (such as an additional person added to the tour, etc.) can be paid in later to Twins Tours upon arrival and a receipt will be given. – Group Cancellation: If the group cancels less than 60 days prior to arrival, refunds are not guaranteed, and cancellation fees may be applied. However, if the cancellation is due to the unlikely event of war or national emergency or epidemic, then Twins Tours will retain a small administration fee, and return the bulk of the monies paid. It will depend on each hotel’s willingness to waive the cancellation fee. – Individual Cancellation: If an individual participant cancels less than 14 days prior to arrival, then full refunds cannot be guaranteed, and cancellation fees may be applied. The situation will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Travel insurance that includes trip cancellation due to illness, injury or medical emergencies is highly advised. – Tips: Tips must be given in cash (in three separate envelopes, labeled ‘tour guide’, ‘bus driver’ and ‘hotel tips’)with one set of envelopes per hotel. These monies go directly from the Tour Leader to the service providers and cannot be included in the wire transfer to Twins Tours & Travel Ltd. Customarily in Israel tips for tour guides, bus drivers and hotel workers are received independent of their salary. – Rates could be subject to change due to possible extreme fluctuations in the US dollar and fuel prices.

 

– Rates are based on these dates only; changes to tour dates may require re-pricing.
– Check-in to hotels on Saturdays are subject to late check-in procedures (up to three hours after the end of Shabbat). We will endeavor to schedule your tours to avoid these late check-in charges on Shabbat.

 

8. Tour Leader Responsibilities
The Tour Leader is responsible for the team that he/she is bringing. This includes having a packet of the following information with them at all times on the tour: a copy of each participants’ passports, emergency contact info, a list of any prescription medications they take, and health insurance information for each participant in case of emergency. If there is a medical emergency or any other type of emergency, Twins Tours will assist the Tour Leader in making decisions on how to resolve the emergency.

 

Twins Tours Management Responsibilities
In the event of a security situation such as rioting, unrest or riots,route changes, accidents, weather conditions, etc. Twins Tours management is ultimately responsible for making the best decisions that might affect the itinerary and touring schedule. Our Tour Guides are in constant communication with law and security authorities about the safety of any location on the itinerary.

 

9. Tour Guide & Driver Working Hours
Tour Guides are restricted to work 9 hours/day. Any additional hours will be billed to the tour budget.Regarding buses,according to Israeli law, the daily limit is 200 kilometers and 9 hours. Extra fees will apply for any additional kilometers or hours.

 

10. Administrative Practical Things Name tags – the Tour Leader will be responsible for printing and bringing name tags for each tour participant. On the back of the name tags, please include the names and phone numbers of the hotels, guides, etc. You can get this information from our office. – Song sheets – many groups like to bring a small list of song sheets for the participants to use during times of worship. – Devotional & Prayer Schedule – many groups often welcome the involvement of their participants and create a devotional and prayer schedule for each day of the tour. If you choose to do this, please have it organized before making the trip here. – Journals – there is so much to see and learn in Israel and in such a short time! By the end of the trip, the days usually start to blur together. Twins Tours offers, for free, a “Twins Tours Study Reader,” which includes journaling pages as well as pictures, maps, and additional study material. If you would like to have it before the trip, it is available in paperback on Amazon.com. Simply search for Twins Tour Study Reader, and you will find it. – Wi-Fi – Most hotels will have areas with free Wi-Fi in the lobby, sometimes in the rooms. Buses have limited Wi-Fi. Also, there are some places in the country with limited cell phone reception, which affects the bus Wi-Fi system. – Hair dryers in hotel rooms – Most hotels have hair dryers, guesthouses do not. So please keep this in mind as you plan your tour. – Israeli cell phone SIM cards – We recommend that the Tour Leader have one for the Tour. Twins Tours can supply each group with one phone line for their time here to receive calls from your home country. We can assist you in obtaining the SIM cards. For tour

 

participants who need to stay connected, it’s advised to get an international calling or data plan from your home country organized before you arrive.
 

– Larger Groups – If your group is larger than forty participants, it is often helpful to have the group broken down into smaller groups with ‘small group leaders’. This structure helps information get distributed quickly to the tour participants, and the small group leaders can help be on the lookout for problems the tour participants may encounter, such as a feeling of isolation, etc.
 

– Buses – Twins Tours have contracts with the two largest bus companies in Israel,with a selection of more than 450 vehicles – ranging from car-derived Mercedes vans for families that have 7 seats (like Mercedes Viano) to a van-based vehicle Mercedes minibus which has up to 16 passenger seats. There are also big buses that can seat up to 55 passengers. All the ve

In this podcast we will give a general introduction about Twins Tours, we will talk about twins Tours Mission statement, the Vision of Twins Tours , and at the end we will be   talking about Twins Tours Team.

Twins Tours  Vision Statement
We  pursue  unity  between the Western and Eastern Churches by building bridges in personal interaction between the living stones to foster relationships of mutual blessing and understanding between them. Through personal experience, God gives revelation of  His heart for every tongue, tribe, and nation which matures the Body of Christ in bringing reconciliation, unity, and a testimony that Jesus is Lord.
To achieve these goals, we invite groups to experience the Holy Land and its people in depth from an indigenous Evangelical Christian perspective. Come join us in bringing your prayers to life!
 
Detailed Vision Statement
We pursue a real unity which does not imply becoming homogenous or agreeing on everything. Real unity recognizes that no man (or culture) is an island. We each have strengths and weaknesses and we benefit from diversity when we achieve unity that produces mutual blessing.
Achieving unity requires a revelation from God on three levels:
 
Awareness – God reveals to us that there are Christians from a completely different culture and with a completely different history
– Middle Eastern Christians.
Awareness begins with realizing that there are Palestinians Christians which are not Muslim background believers (MBBs) but rather Christians from birth and often for many
Awareness continues with the revelation that Jesus didn’t give His disciples the King James Bible with His words in red. Jesus spoke Hebrew and Aramaic. Middle Eastern Christians today speak the same Semitic languages of Aramaic, Hebrew and
Awareness, ultimately, includes revelation that Jerusalem is the birthplace of all Christianity and not the Western Nations which receive the most media attention. There is something holy and rooted about Eastern Christianity that Western Christianity only vaguely knows exists!
Understanding – God reveals the culture and history of these Middle Eastern Christians and gives us the ability to see how they Their perspective of the scripture becomes one in which we understand and can also access.
Appreciation – God reveals his heart for these Middle Eastern Christians and the beauty He sees in that culture and perspective. Co-founder Tony likes to say, “We still carry the smell of Christ.” It may be different and because it is foreign, that smell may not appeal at But with understanding and connection, a level of unity can be achieved which produces appreciation for the Middle Eastern Christians and the “smell of Christ” still present in this culture. Appreciation begins with humility of seeing weaknesses in one’s own culture/perspective that could be strengths in the other cultures/perspectives.
Appreciation also realizes that Eastern Christianity may look very different and have weaknesses, but the strengths Western Christianity has to offer must come from a place of service and not superiority.
Appreciation also includes a decision not to vilify any of the groups in the Middle East: Jews, or Palestinians. The saying is, “If you choose, you ”
The Western and Eastern Churches which Twins Tours is trying to unify has  many  distinct  differences. As mentioned previously, it is to be aware of these differences, understand these differences, and ultimately, appreciate these differences. Here are some of the noteworthy differences:
 
Western Christianity
Romance Languages (English, Spanish, latin etc.)
Organizational Individualistic Rigid/Boxy
Formal without many customs Values Mind and Thought Theoretical
Timely
 
Eastern Christianity
Semitic Languages (Aramaic, Hebrew, Arabic)
Relational Communal Fluid
Informal with many customs Values Heart and Emotions Action-oriented Improvisational
 
These Christian communities also differ tremendously in their history. These historical differences impact the perspective of Christians from these communities even today. Western Christianity was integrated with national governments even ruling over large sections of Europe at times. This produced a more hierarchal oriented  Christianity and one which naturally thinks institutionally. Eastern Christianity began with almost 400 years of persecution and attempted to survive under various ruling nations and people. This produced a community oriented relationally.
Both Western and Eastern churches have valuable natural strengths and Twins Tours would like to help each side to be aware, understand and ultimately appreciate those strengths. We recognize that our rich indigenous Christian heritage and culture utilizing the Aramaic and Hebrew sources of scripture can be an asset to Western Christians.
Twins Tours serves as a natural bridge because of its connection to Messianic Jews, Orthodox Jews, Arab Christians, Arab Muslims, and Western Christians. We want to help others build bridges in personal interaction in three main ways:
Bridging to Arab Christians
Bridging to Arab Muslims
Bridging to Jews
 
A bridge, by definition, is a two-way connection. A weak bridge cannot handle a heavy load. Similarly, a weak relational bridge cannot handle heavy topics and in order to bring true unity, we must be able to talk about the heavy concepts plaguing the Middle East. But we start building and recognize not all relational bridges are ready for the weight of some issues.   We appreciate any and all bridges as they   do represent an awareness, understanding, and appreciation of the “other” to an extent.
 
In  the  end, every relational bridge  comes  down  to  a  personal connection. To this end, Twins Tours fosters personal connections between tourists and local communities. The type and depth of connection is dictated by the size of the group.
 
Ministry: For groups of 10-25 people, these groups get hands on with locals often in their personal
Interaction: For groups of 26-50 people, these groups visit locals in their ministry
Exposure: For groups of 51+ people, these groups are visited by locals who share about their life, ministry, and
 
Three quick examples of these opportunities:
A Ministry Group can have one- or two-nights home stay with a Palestinian family in Bethlehem or West Bank. They will enjoy the food prepared by the host and learn the village culture in a way that brings the bible to life. They will hear the family stories and have fun learning from each other. In this way they will understand the daily challenges of the family, build trust, and begin a lifelong friendship.
Though many people want to do “ministry” in Israel and Palestine, we have found that pastors first need to build a relationship with the people before “doing ministry” in order to be effective.
An Interaction Group can have a Shabbat dinner with a Jewish family. They will learn about Shabbat and Jewish family values and the daily life in Israel. They will learn a Jewish perspective that will help the Bible come to life. The experience will probably stay with the group longer than the guide teachings at a given site.
 
An  Exposure  Group  can have a Jewish Rabbi meet the group for a lecture about Jewish-Christian relations. Then that same group can meet a Palestinian Christian farmer and hear his story as well. Another option is to bring a Muslim-background believer (MBB) to share his testimony. These experiences expose the group to a world they may not have even been aware of previously.
For those who want to minister to locals, they must have a relationship with local pastors and appreciation for the good in the culture. It is important not to give solutions until a relationship is established. In the beginning of a relationship, it is important not to judge but just hear the hearts of the people who are hurt and need someone to listen to them.
In this way, a tourist can relate to the history and ancient lessons rooted in the Bible and also to the living stones. We read in 1 Peter 2:5, “You yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.”
We are all the living stones which are being built up together. Sometimes tourists forget the local believers who are living sto

I want to share with you how this podcast came into reality. I have been a tour guide for more than twenty years. Those twenty years, like twenty days,  passed in a blink of an eye, I did not feel the time at all. Our lives are significant in this world, and every minute of our life is valuable, especially as a teacher of scripture. I always say, “Time waits for nobody, and nobody waits for time.”
since the very first group I ever guided and before gaining all this experience, many pastors Tour Leaders group members encouraged me to gather all this information.  Finally, I did it! Two decades worth of material from Twins Tours & Travel were collected into this practical podcast Show Heading to the Holy Land –  How to prepare, Plan, and pray for a life-changing Journey
Basically, any person with a vision to bring a group to Israel, and yet has no idea where to start and what to do, this podcast show is for you – Heading to the Holy Land.
Heading to the Holy Land is a Podcast Show that explains from A to Z   all the steps on how to prepare a group visiting Israel. This Podcast will equip you with the right information on how to understand the Holy Land.  All this is designed to help you become a GREAT and equipped Tour Leader, managing your group in Israel and even to prepare you before you arrive.
One last thing, part of my vision for this podcast is to bring more kingdom transformation to the many groups that visit Israel. I long in my heart for God’s people to see the Land of the Bible – Israel is full of spiritual treasures that is buried in the heart of this world in the Middle East. When you visit the Holy land, this treasure will be yours, and the Word of God will come alive in a way you haven’t experienced before.
I pray that this podcast show will inspire every Tour Leader, every Minister of the gospel, every church member, or even anyone even you as an individual pilgrim to come to this land of the Bible and meet with us.
We invite you to join us on this podcast show that will enrich and deepen your faith in the land where Jesus walked, died, and rose from the dead.
A trip to Israel is much more than just a vacation or a sightseeing trip; it is a life-transforming experience that will enable you and your group to encounter the land of the Bible and the ministry of Christ in its historical and geographical context.
Touring the Holy Land is an exciting way to visit Israel yourself and share the experience with others that you bring along, it is a vocation and ministry to which many people are called.

 I have set up two different methods of giving.  For those who want to give a one-time gift, you can simply go to https://www.onefridayinjerusalem.com/donations  and give whatever amount you wish. 
 If you want to continue to support the ministry, you can join and become a Ministry Partner by giving $10, $25, $50, or $100 on a monthly basis.  Becoming a Ministry Partner provides a more stable financial situation for me, and all Ministry Partners receive special access to current and future materials.
I hope you will also explore my website www.andremoubarak.com or follow us on social media to learn more about my teaching ministry.  
Together we can make a difference in our personal life, in God's kingdom, and the community! Please reach out to me personally at [email protected] or through Whats App.  My  phone number is +972545231145 if you have any questions about becoming a partner or if you would like to invite me to share the word of God, to teach and preach in your church. 
One last thing -- I’m finally launching a monthly newsletter introducing new teachings, webinars, book releases, Breaking News from Israel, and giveaways.  If you would be interested in receiving the newsletter no more than once a month, go to the detailed description of this episode and please sign up here.
Thank you for listening, sharing, and supporting this podcast. I could not do this without you.  Now that you know my story, you can see I mean everything I have said from the bottom of my heart.--
