Join the Upper Room Mission
On a transformative pilgrimage
unlike any other
Our journeys invite you not only to walk where Jesus walked and visit the sacred sites of Nazareth, Galilee, Bethlehem, and Jerusalem, but also to encounter the living Christian community that continues His witness today.
Meet local Christians Share meals in their homes & restaurants Visit their workshops & businesses Hear the stories of URM‑supported entrepreneurs
The proceeds from these tours go directly to support local Christians through URM’s training programs and startup grants, empowering new generations to build sustainable futures in the land of their faith.
8 Days — Travel not as a tourist, but as a companion in faith, walking with us to preserve hope, empower the next generation, and strengthen the Christian presence in Jerusalem.
One faith, One journey, together in the Holy Land
