Hundreds Experience Holy Land without Leaving the Country

For eight years, groups have gathered at Weber Retreat and Conference for an armchair trip to the sacred places of Jesus’ life. Weber Center is transformed into the Holy Land through drama, video, lecture, and food. Participants experience Mt. Tabor, the Judean Desert, shopping in Capernaum, a Mid-Eastern supper and much more. Even Ophelia, a real-life camel, was part of the event until she retired.

Hundreds have participated in this Holy Land Retreat over the years and have found it a wonderful, moving experience. Some comments:

“I really felt I was in a holy space – a peaceful place- living and walking with Jesus.”

“These six days have been a highlight of my life.”

“I know scripture will be different for me after this experience.”
