PASSION PLAY
The Leader in Faith Based Travel Since 1974
THE ETS STORY In 1974 a young pastor fulfilled his dream of visiting the Holy Land. When he returned home, he discovered the trip made a profound impact on the way he studied the Bible and preached. The words went from black and white to brilliant color. The following year, the pastor returned to Israel with a group from his church. He was amazed by the transformation he saw. Everyone returned home invigorated. They became the cornerstones of the church - volunteering more, tithing regularly and creating a welcoming community for all. It was out of this experience that ETS was born. The young pastor, Dr. Jim Ridgway, began ETS out of his garage with the goal of making it possible for all clergy to visit the lands of the Bible. Dr. Ridgway is no longer with us, but his vision is continuing to flourish. To date, tens of thousands of faith leaders have realized the positive impact Faith-Based travel has on their church, their ministry and the lives of individuals who travel with them. We encourage you to contact your travel agent and begin planning a life-changing journey of faith today!
