The Sullivan Family

Jim and Patti have been married for 34 years. They have spent years strengthening families through relationships and mentoring. At the 17-year mark of their marriage, they had their miracle daughter. Creating unique and personalized learning opportunities through travel and educating their daughter at home is a significant part of their lives.

Israel Family Encounters is part of that mission. They know that you and your family will be deeply impacted as you walk where Jesus literally walked and experience firsthand the powerful ancient land of Israel. With confidence in God's initiative, Israel Family Encounters was created. They have built a uniquely designed tour that is perfect for homeschooling families or families that want their children to engage in spiritual and educational travel. They are thrilled that they can bring families along on an Israel Family Encounter!
