Questions to consider when selecting your Tour Company

  research is key to selecting the right company, please read this carefully before you sign up with any tour company.

What is the Tour Company’s main focus?

Several vacation tour companies have attempted to make inroads into the Christian

Pilgrimage market. Friendship Tours only specializes in Christian pilgrimages. We do not sell vacation packages to other countries. Christian Pilgrimages is all we do and we do it well!

What knowledge does the company have about their guides?

The owners of Friendship Tours personally screen and select all of our guides.  We choose guides who are flexible and responsive to the needs of our group leaders.  Our guides are well informed with a broad base of knowledge in both the Old and New Testament. Our guides make us successful and this is why our group leaders re-book year after year with us.

How long has the company been around?

After 9/11 several companies avoided refunding churches the tour payments and closed shop only to re-open under a different name. Friendship Tours has been in business since 1982 and has refunded all travelers their money.  Every client was cared for after 9/11. This level of service and trust is important in the ever-changing world we live in.

Are the company owners Christian?

Friendship Tours is a Christian Company.  We consider our work to be the work of God on behalf of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  We understand Christian Pilgrimage and we make every effort to help you in planning a meaningful, memorable and faithful experience.

What financial protection does the company offer?

Friendship Tours carries high limits of liability insurance that protects the churches that work with us. We adhere to all US government over sight with regard to Financial regulations. We have strict company policies prohibiting the commingling of client deposits. This is a critical component of our integrity. During difficult times some companies will use customer deposits to survive and run out of funds to service their group commitments.  Friendship Tours is a member of the Better Business Bureau with an “A” rating. Friendship Tours has the best buying power due to our long-standing professional relations with all international airlines offering us the lowest airfares with the best connections. Our buying power for ground services is reflected in the prices we are able to offer. Very few

Companies are able to do what we do. How do we do it? Very simple. As a wholesale Tour Operator, we work on large volume of passengers and pass the savings on to our clients.  This is our mission.  This is a ministry entrusted to us by God.  At every turn we will seek to be faithful to you and our mission.  Our

Tagline says it all. “We build lasting relations. One client at a time.”

Christian Group Tours to Israel

Germany - Nov (5081)

West Cary Campus 11/15/2024 to 11/23/2024 $2,400.00

Estimated trip cost: $2,400.00 Applications and $300.00 deposit due July 18, 2024.

Our team will be visiting one of our Summit missionaries involved with starting a church planting network with local German pastors. We will learn the history of Christianity in the area, go on prayer walks, visit key historical sites, and learn about urban ministry from German church planters and leaders. The trips we are offering, are much different than a classic missions trip that involves going on the street and evangelizing. It would be very hard in our context and culture to do that because of the language barrier and it would actually probably do more damage than good being on the streets trying to talk with people in a language they do not speak. Therefore, there is always a question about how to use a team most effectively. We have come up with a hybrid trip where it will join a Church Plant for a weekend to encourage them and partner with them in prayer and fellowship, but also using the time as a discipleship/leadership trip for our church by looking at the Reformation, WW2, and Cold War sites to talk about leadership and conviction as a Christian in the midst of adversity. It is a tool to inform and teach about the church in Germany and calling people to missions locally and globally. This trip would not be for the individual who wants to be on the street daily passing out tracts, but it could be for anyone, even whole families, or father/sons or husband/wife who want to partner with a Church Plant and to challenge their faith.

We are going to a mega city that serves as the cultural, financial, and economic center of the country. We will be spending time in the city and working with one of our Summit families who are currently living and serving there. We will get to know them, pray with them, and encourage them as they serve amongst some of the most unreached people groups in the world. We will have opportunities to engage with different ministries and care for those that are far from God but close to our missionaries geographically.
