Following are just a few of the responses from African teachers as they experienced Israel 2023, compliments of IBTM:

From windy Tel-Aviv going north, then South through the West Bank to Jerusalem, we saw many Old Testament and New Testament characters, places and events from millennia ago in a surprisingly different light than when we’d only read the biblical text. Breathing in with our eyes closed brought to life the conversation between Jesus and His disciples at Caesarea Philippi, as well as the pressure He felt at the Garden of Gethsemane. How amazing to be able to pour out our hearts to God at the same location our Lord prayed!
Julius & Margaret Nguku (Nairobi, Kenya)

The 2023 BST experience has been deeply immersive – a true journey back into ancient biblical history! The organization was world class, and sharing the experience with others from multiple nations was very bonding.
Gilbert & Perita Kimeng (Lagos, Nigeria)


This was a very enriching and edifying stay for me. The two most memorable moments were at the Lake of Galilee and at the Mount of Olives in Gethsemane where I made firm resolutions that will certainly impact my life, family and ministry.
Sinemeho Fulbert (Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire).

Thank you so much for your generosity, love, care, continuing investment for this (African ) teaching ministry and this incredible opportunity to be part of this tour, even more special to be with fellow teachers and our wives.
Solomon & Jacqui Kganyago (Johannesburg, South Africa)

Thank you for the extraordinary experience. It has made an impact on our ministry and profession.
Julien & Nina Toyo (Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire).

BST Israel 2023 was a huge paradigm shifter. Old myths were dispelled with clarity provided by new information. History and geography realigned as more ancient rocks and artifacts "spoke." The daily camaraderie in the group made it fun, and easier to remember what we learned.
Emmanuel & Henrietta Emeh (Lagos, Nigeria)

 The BST was the experience of a lifetime. Our understanding of the Bible took on a whole new meaning!
Fred & Titi George (Lagos, Nigeria)

It was a great time of Bible study accompanied by field visits to important places marking the life of our Lord. For me the tour was unparalleled. I learned a lot, and this is changing my understanding of the Scriptures. Thank you, IBTM.
