2020 is the Bethel Series' 60th Anniversary!!

2020 marks the Bethel Series' 60th anniversary.  

Since its founding in 1960, the Bethel Series has worked hard to fulfill its mission:
". . . to lead church members into a disciplined study of the Scriptures in such a way that they encounter the Living Christ."
The biblical literacy that the Bethel Series helps bring to congregations has brought thousands of churches and millions of believers to an "encounter with the Living Christ." We endeavor to continue this worthy tradition into the future however God leads us.

In celebration of our 60th anniversary, we will have a celebratory dinner at 6:00PM on Sunday, July 19, 2020, at Bethel Lutheran Church in Madison, WI.  This will kick off our annual Bethel Series Teacher Training Seminar, July 19-23, 2020. You can find out more at:  http://www.bethelseries.org/training-seminar/bethel-enroll or contact me at 608-579-5700 or Jeff@BethelSeries.org.

Soli Deo Gloria!

Comments from the 2018 and 2019 Bethel Series Pilgrimage to the Holy Land


If you were to tell someone about the Bethel Series Holy Land Pilgrimage, what would you say?

Go!

You need to go with a group. People on Bethel trip were wonderfully interactive and friendly. No one was isolated from the group. Price is reasonable given the number of days and meals provided. With our own bus, we could basically be very creative in our planning and timing of visits. Jeff and Faraj were wonderful leaders.

A wonderful tour that gives a very complete review of the Holy Land and the significance of its history

I would tell them about the reading of the scripture at every stop and how it was very meaningful. The landscape in the north of Israel surprised me, thought it would all be mountains and rocks. I am surprised God would choose that land --the terrain is really rough. I would tell them about Tent of All Nations, that was a real eye-opener for what the Palestinians need to do to keep their land and to survive. I would tell them about Jacob's well and drinking the water from it. I would tell them about the boat ride and visiting the places where Jesus performed miracles.

So far, I'm speechless! But I can say that what we saw, and did, and learned was beyond anything I could've conjured up in my mind and I will highly recommend it to anyone with a desire to travel there! What an experience! Thank you!

That it was a real blessing for me and also a surprise. The blessing in walking the walk of Jesus, and the surprise in the denseness of the cities, the height of the hills, the stony ground - but the beauty of the area. Thoroughly enlightening!

Don’t miss this opportunity. You will be amazed by what you see and even more so by how the Holy Spirit touches your heart as you walk the steps where Jesus walked.

It is such a wonderful experience to walk in the Holy Land and experience the places where Jesus lived out His life. It makes the Bible come to life. You can picture it in your mind.

Go.... it is the trip of a lifetime. Cultures so varied politics are confusing but the people are wonderful. Truly God's land

It is an amazing experience that provides a much deeper connection to God's Word and the people of Israel. My heart leaps when I read or hear Bible stories that reference places we visited because I have a better understanding of the context and the setting. I have a stronger interest in the news of what is happening in Israel and I pray for peace and God's will to be done. Overall, this pilgrimage is a very special and impactful opportunity that I highly recommend.

Awesome trip! Jeff and Toni were the best! I loved his preaching. Gifted! Toni kept us on the move and watched out for us. Cherished memories and friendships.

I would recommend you try to keep the size of the group to ours. 20 to 25 I think is ideal.

It’s a spiritual, historical trip. Be in shape. Enjoy walking with Jesus. Jeff and Toni were the best. Loved his preaching...Gifted. Toni kept us going and watched out for us. Always smiling and fun. Cherished memories and friends

I would recommend it. Jeff and Toni were excellent hosts. Bible readings and devotionals contributed to the deeply moving experience.

This trip will bring the gospels home to you. It will give you invaluable context.

The trip gave me the visibility I wanted both spiritually and insights into the geography and culture in Israel and the West Bank.

Fantastic experience! Good Shepherd Tours took care of it all... Great tour guide (Faraj ) and spiritual director, Jeff Quinto.

If you have a chance to go to the Holy Land with Jeff and Toni, just do it! They are knowledgeable, spiritual and a lot of fun. Thanks!
