A Message from Coral's President

Greetings from Israel! I am thrilled to be in the Holy Land welcoming several congregations to the land of the bible. It's a blessing to see the depth of love believers have for this land, for Jesus and for each other. I'm inspired by them and by you to continue on this journey the Lord has brought me on. Last month, I mentioned we launched our new website. We've had wonderful comments from everyone. If you haven't had a chance yet to visit the site take a moment and check out our blog. Also, we have many wonderful upcoming tours to Israel including our Essence of Israel tour where you can bring 20 people with you and received TWO FREE TRIPS (basic tour package). If you've traveled with us, please consider leaving us a review on our Facebook page or website, we would love to hear from you. God bless!

Shalom Almog, President
