Discover Israel in a Deeper Way
Experience Israel beyond the tour bus through hands-on service, meaningful encounters, and life-changing moments with the people of Israel.
Join one of our Discovery Projects!
Go beyond the sites and experience something deeper with a Bridges for Peace Discovery Project. Each year, millions walked where Jesus walked, but few get to serve along side Him today.
Whether you’re solo traveling or with a group, explore Israel’s living story through hands-on service. Serve and make an impact with us. Deliver food to Holocaust survivors, bring joy to children in our Feed a Child program, encourage new immigrants, bless Israeli communities rebuilding after the war.
You’ll meet real people, hear their stories and be the hug, the smile, the prayer they’ll never forget.
Meaningful Experiences for Incoming Groups to Israel
Discovery - Small Groups (Individuals to 5 Participants)
Spend one to four days with Bridges for Peace. Included in the discovery groups: morning worship and Devotions with our international volunteer family, an introduction to BFP and guided visit to our Food Bank. Hear firsthand stories of lives being transformed through Christian compassion. Have a hands-on service packing food parcels, community deliveries or meeting Israelis impacted by your service. At the end of your project you'll receive a certificate of participation and a complimentary t-shirt.
Discovery - Large Groups (6+ Participants)
Several options are available to accommodate your groups needs. A one hour visit will introduce your group to the impact Bridges for Peace is making in Israel. Stay for another hour to give your group the opportunity to pack the food parcels themselves. This allows them the opportunity to bless Israel with their own hands. Full day service projects offer deeper engagement. Activities include gardening, painting, harvesting, or light renovations. Projects take place in schools, community centers, or senior facilities. The cost of our service projects are $50 USD per person per day, which includes supplies and lunch.

Testimonies from Around the Globe
“Leading tours to Israel has been one of my greatest joys, and for many, the highlight has been our Discovery Group experience. The BFP team welcomes us with warmth and is well prepared and organized for our volunteer tasks. We often serve in schools, sprucing up the environment, planting flowers, or adding colour with murals and painting outdoor spaces. Working with the children and staff and witnessing firsthand the impact of our “Feed a Child” program on the community elevates a tour to a meaningful and lasting connection".
“Meeting the people we support financially brought so much joy. It was the highlight of our trip.”
“Volunteering with Bridges for Peace afforded us a unique opportunity to personally connect with holocausts survivors, an experience that our family will always cherish and remember.”
Paul has been bringing groups to Israel for 30 years but said, “nothing could prepare me for the impact of helping at the Bridges for Peace distribution centre in Jerusalem. You meet Jewish people in their own homes, some with very little and to see their tears when you give food packages is beyond words. We went to communities way off the beaten track, some Orthodox Jewish communities, something many people will never experience. There is no doubt God has called BFP for such a time as this, and to be part of it strengthens one's faith and proves God is a promise keeper, especially towards Israel. I plan on going again next year!!”
Israeli recipients are equally touched by your service. One social worker wrote, “Your group was unlike any other. You connected with our residents and empowered them. Thank you!”
"I’ve taken groups to Bridges for Peace several times now. Every time, the participants are moved and inspired by the staff’s hands-on commitment. They really enjoy helping out themselves and seeing the impact of their efforts at the end of the day. Another great thing is the interaction, exchanges, and discussions that participants can have not only with the staff but also with some of the beneficiaries. These are always memorable moments that the participants remember!"
