Why Teivah?
Teivah — pronounced TAY-vah — is a Hebrew word connected to both “ark” and “word”.
As “ark”, it speaks of a vessel of protection, safety, and preservation — a place of refuge in the midst of overwhelming waters.
As “word”, it reminds us that words carry meaning. Words hold truth, promise, prayer, story, and revelation. The spoken and written Word of God becomes a place where hearts are steadied, faith is strengthened, and our lives are reoriented around Him.
For us, Teivah Journeys reflects the heart of every journey we lead: to create a prayerfully prepared space where travelers can be rooted in Scripture, sheltered in God’s care, and invited to encounter the land of the Bible with reverence, worship, and wonder.
Our journeys are designed to help travelers slow down, engage His Word in the land where so much of it unfolded, build meaningful community, and make room to seek the Lord together.
Teivah is the ark.
Teivah is the word.
Teivah Journeys creates space to enter His Word in the land of His story.
Welcome to Teivah Journeys
When God first invited me to go to Israel — and told me to take others with me — I said yes, not fully knowing what He had in store. In the middle of a global pandemic, I led my very first group of 16 people to the Holy Land. It was incredible. God met us there in ways none of us could have imagined.
Since then, each year the groups have grown — not through advertising, but through word of mouth and the heartfelt stories shared by those who have gone before. Before we ever travel, we meet monthly to prepare our hearts to receive what God has waiting for us and to get to know one another. By the time we step onto the plane, we are already family. And when we return, that family bond is even stronger — rooted in what God has done in each of our lives.
Teivah Journeys is not just about visiting sites — it’s about encountering God. We walk where Jesus walked, yes, but we also go into the communities, worship alongside local believers, and connect with the people of Israel — Jewish, Christian, and Jewish believers alike. Each trip is led by the Holy Spirit, and every detail is planned with care, prayer, and love.
For me, that’s what godly success looks like — fulfilling the assignment He gave me: to bring His children closer to Him in the Holy Land. When I see the joy on their faces, the peace in their hearts, and the light in their eyes, it fills me with such gratitude and awe.
At Teivah, we keep our groups small on purpose — because intimacy, connection, and tangible encounters with God happen best in a close, caring group filled with unity. Our mission is simple: to prepare the way for people to meet and experience God in the land where His story began.
Come join us. Your journey with God in Israel is waiting — and I can’t wait to walk it with you.
One of my favorite moments on every journey is what I call Intimacy with God time — when each person finds a quiet place to simply be with Him. Over and over, I have watched lives transformed in those moments. People experience breakthrough, healing, and a closeness with God they have longed for.
