HARMONY PILGRIMAGES
Blending Faith, Justice, Music, and Mission in a Unique Holy Land Tour
ABOUT
Harmony Pilgrimages specializes in custom Holy Land and pilgrimage tours that blend faith, justice, music, and mission. Katie has led trips to the Holy Land for over a decade while working as a music minister in churches all over the United States. Each group is different, so each trip is customized for the particular needs and desires of the participants.
Katie has used music and relationships to work towards peace in the Holy Land and is passionate about bringing awareness to the challenges facing those living in the conflict everyday. A group may spend the morning singing praise on the bank of the Jordan River at the site where Jesus was baptized, have lunch with Palestinian children in a UN refugee camp, spend the afternoon learning about the Dead Sea Scrolls in the caves where they were discovered, and end the evening singing Christmas carols in the grotto of Jesus' birth in Bethlehem.

GUEST REVIEW
"This once in a lifetime trip transformed the way I read the biblical stories. When I imagine Jesus walking on the Sea of Galilee, I can see it, feel it, hear it, even smell it."
