Describe the Organization's Mission:
Part 3 - Line 1
WE ARE A NONPROFIT TOUR COMPANY THAT FOCUSES ON EDUCATING PASSENGERS DURING ITS TOURS. WE SPECIALIZE IN 10 DAYS STUDY TOURS TO ISRAEL BUT ALSO OFFER EXTENSION TOURS TO PETRA & EGYPT. DURING THESE TOURS, OUR GUIDES (ALL HAVE GRADUATED FROM A 3-YEAR COLLEGE IN ISRAEL WITH A CERTIFICATION IN EDUCATING TOURISTS) ACCOMPANY OUR PASSENGERS FOR THE ENTIRE TRIP AND EXTENSIVELY TEACH FROM THE BIBLE, THE TORAH AND MANY HISTORICAL BOOKS. WE OFFER WHOLESALE PRICING TO OUR PASSENGERS THAT IS MANY TIMES HUNDREDS OR EVEN THOUSANDS LESS THAN OUR COMPETITION.
Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
WE HAD 4 EDUCATIONAL TOURS MATERIALIZE FOR 2023: RIVERLAKES COMMUNITY CHURCH, SAN LEANDRO FOURSQUARE CHURCH, YAKIMA FOURSQUARE CHURCH, AND SAN LEANDRO VIDA NUEVA FOURSQUARE CHURCH. WITHIN THE FOUR CHURCHES WE SENT 110 PILGRIMS TO THE HOLY LAND. OUR COMPANY ATTENDED OUR FIRST CONVENTION, IN WHICH, WE HAD A BOOTH AT THE ANAHEIM CONVENTION CENTER. WE SAW OVER 2,000 COME TO OUR BOOTH AND MADE GREAT CONNECTIONS FOR FUTURE TOURS. OUR NON-PROFIT GAVE MONEY TO A FEW NON-PROFITS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. I SPOKE AT DOZENS OF CHURCHES ON SUNDAY MORNING AND HELD INFORMATION MEETINGS FOR THE TRIPS. FOR THE FIRST TIME OUR COMPANY EXPANDED INTO EGYPT, AND WE HAD OUR FIRST TOUR THERE. OUR COMPANY ORGANIZED A SMALL PRIVATE TOUR TO THE GREEK ISLANDS (WE HOPE TO OFFER THEM TO LARGE GROUPS SOON). OUR COMPANY CONNECTED WITH ANOTHER DOMESTIC NON-PROFIT TOUR COMPANY AND WILL SOON PROVIDE TRIPS TO WASHINGTON DC FOR STUDENTS.
