Melody credits Covenant Journey with deeply igniting her faith. 

“Ever since my Covenant Journey trip, I can see God doing a convicting work in my life. I had fear in my life, and He is calling me higher. He is asking me to trust Him in the details of my life and showing me that He is faithful.” 

Her experience in Israel didn't end when she returned home. 

“I am on this journey of discovering that, and now I’m able to help others work through that.” 

Imagine the ripple effect. 

One student's faith is strengthened. That student grows in trust and spiritual maturity. Then that young leader goes home and begins influencing — and helping — others. 

Melody was also struck by how God used a small and seemingly ordinary nation to accomplish His purposes and change the world. 

“He chose them. God can use anyone, not because of their ability, but because of His will.” 

She came away with a greater understanding of both God and her own spiritual journey: 

“How big God is, enriching us and guiding our spiritual walk. He cares about every detail.” 

And Melody summed up her experience simply: 

“This trip was very impactful and has enriched my understanding.” 

This is why Covenant Journey matters. 

These students aren't simply visiting another country. They are walking where biblical history unfolded, encountering Scripture in a new way, and returning home with a deeper faith that can shape their lives — and influence others for years to come. 

Will you help us raise 150,000 dollars to send 40 Christian students to Israel in 2027? 

Please give 25, 50, 100, 250 dollars, or even the full cost of one student’s trip — 3,750 dollars to help ignite the faith of the next generation of Christian leaders.
