Travel the Text Ministries

Travel the Text Ministries is passionate about engaging the Biblical Text in its original historical context, inviting lessons from ancient days to transform the way we live today as we seek to love God, and love others. We seek to provide education through experience and believe that true learning requires active participation.

In 2005, Geoff Carroll realized his dream of studying in Israel and was accepted to a Master’s degree program at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, studying the Bible in its world. This immersive experience further ignited his profound passion for Biblical culture, archaeology and history as Geoff studied at hundreds of sites throughout the lands of the Bible, learning from a variety of esteemed teachers, archaeologists, and religious leaders. His continued study and work through a variety of travel experiences in Israel inspired Geoff to to glean the best of many experiences while he dreamed of ways to provide transformative travel and educational experiences, set apart from the noise of the tourism industry.

In 2013, Geoff Carroll founded Travel the Text and began leading customized Biblical Study Trips to Israel (and beyond). At the urging and support of many, Travel the Text Ministries was established as a 501c3 company in 2021. This transition has provided additional support and encouragement with an established board and increased community as we have navigated the challenges to travel in recent years, from pandemic to war. We are grateful for the ongoing support and encouragement of so many of you who we have traveled with throughout the lands of the Bible, who have helped keep this dream alive.

Study of the history, geography, archaeology, & culture of the ancient Biblical texts inspires a renewal of our modern understanding as we seek to invite the Kingdom of Heaven into our lives and into the lives of those around us.

In an ever changing world, we are increasingly focused on providing meaningful educational experiences. We look forward to providing new opportunities for studying the Biblical text in its context by offering local seminars and online study opportunities, in addition to Biblical study trips to the land of the Bible. Please continue to travel the Text with us, wherever you are!
