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 strive to love God, and love others. We seek to provide education through experience and believe that true learning requires active participation.

In an ever changing world, we are increasingly focused on providing meaningful educational experiences. We are committed to the continued development of new opportunities for studying the Biblical text in its context through local seminars and retreat experiences and online study courses, in addition to Biblical study trips to the lands of the Bible. Please continue to travel the Text with us, wherever you are!

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.

Education and Experience

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. 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, we 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 began the transition from an LLC to a 501c3 company in 2021. Though delayed by the necessary reschedules/cancellations for many of our programs during the pandemic and war, this change has provided additional support and encouragement as we invite a community of supporters to be part of this mission with us. We are very grateful to our board and the incredible community that continue to help us navigate the challenges of travel in recent years, from pandemic to war, as we look to continually develop new opportunities for all to study the Text in its historical context, through a variety of available mediums. .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, whose encouragement and support help grow this ministry and strengthen the faith and experience of so many. Thank you!
