"This trip has turned my world inside out. I began with what I thought I knew about the Bible... to being slapped in the face with the true REALITY of the life that Jesus lived for me. My faith was truly tested, and extremely strengthened. I am very thankful for this opportunity. I will never be the same." - Karley "This was one of the most incredible opportunities provided to me in college, hands down. I had always been in support of Israel but was seriously lacking the knowledge of both the conflict and the culture - so much so that it was preventing me from doing advocacy on my campus. On this trip I learned more than I thought I could, surrounded by students who just wanted to learn. It was a breath of fresh air, coming from my liberal, secular school..." - Brianna. "The trip has strengthened my faith and more importantly, the ability for my faith to continue to grow...." - Josiah "I will never be the same again!" - RachelCovenant Journey began as a project of Liberty Counsel in 2011. Following a series of meetings in the United States, Mat and Anita Staver spent a week in Israel meeting with a wide variety of government and academic leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In September 2011, Liberty Counsel launched the Liberty Ambassador Counsel VIP Tour, which was a unique program combining a typical tour with a wide variety of expert speakers from government, national security, military, academia, business and technology, and other sectors, including a Holocaust survivor. In May 2012, the LAC VIP Tour began including students and launched a summer internship program in Israel. In 2013, Covenant Journey was formed specifically for college students. In 2014, Covenant Journey began the first of many trips to Israel for Christian college-age students who have leadership potential. Qualified students pay $500 and the rest of the trip is underwritten, including air fare from New York, hotels, three meals a day, luxury tour bus, entrance fees, expert guides, spiritual leaders, and expert speakers.
