Our Story
Since 1995, Morning Star Tours has been offering travelers opportunities to experience the Bible in a transformational way that would impact their hearts and engage their minds. Motivated by a desire to ignite a passion for God and His Word, our founder began offering guided tours through the Holy Land, allowing travelers to walk in the footsteps of Jesus. As the ministry grew over the next several years, the vision expanded to offer other signature tours, including the journeys of Moses, Paul and the leaders of the Protestant Reformation. With a commitment to excellence and a dedication to providing unsurpassed value, Morning Star offers unique tours that are sure to leave a lifelong impact.
We are dedicated to partnering with churches, universities, and other ministries that are impacting the world, providing the behind-the-scenes support for destination ministry that transforms lives.
Our Clients
We are honored to serve such clients as:
Our Team
Only God could bring together such a dynamic team, each with unique God-given talents that fill each and every need of our ministry. With diverse backgrounds in industries such as corporate hedge fund management, academia, event planning, real estate, sales and marketing, as well as various forms of full-time ministry, each member of our team sensed a strong calling to Morning Star Transformational Tours. Collectively, our goal is to provide a seamless tour and serve people, all in an effort to facilitate an environment where God’s glory is made known. Individually, this plays out in hundreds of different ways throughout our day.
Tour Management
If you’ve signed up for a tour, you’ve been in contact with one of our team’s Tour Managers. When asked, “What do you do?” they enthusiastically answer, “Our role is to take care of every detail for our guests so they can remain worry-free and stay focused on what the Lord is teaching them during their tour.”
Tour Development
During the planning stage of a tour, our Tour Development team is coordinating with people around the world to confirm flights, hotels, sites, and the host of details that go into each customized group itinerary. They earnestly seek the Lord as they strive to cover every detail. With a heart to serve, and very little recognition, they are confident that their prayers and diligent attention to their work will reap a transformational experience for our travelers.
Executive Team
Morning Star is led by a team whose heart’s desire is to glorify the Lord in all they do. As in any calling of the Lord, spiritual battles rage as they seek to follow the Lord’s plan for Morning Star. For this reason, prayer has been put in the forefront of the team’s leadership responsibilities, and the Executive Team includes a Chaplain/Prayer Intercessor. With clear direction and protection from the Lord, they seek to steward all the resources He has given to Morning Star with the utmost integrity.
“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”
1 Corinthians 10:31
Our Core Principles
It is a joy for me to travel to the Holy Land with a group of believers and to see the Bible come alive before our very eyes. Like the Psalms declare: I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the House of the Lord. Our feet shall stand within they gates O Jerusalem. Psalm 122:1-2 KJV. Morning Star Tours makes these life-changing visits even more extraordinary with their world-class customer service, exceptional attention to detail, and ministry-minded staff who treat each guest like one of the family. Whether a veteran visitor or first-time traveler, Morning Star Tours will become your preferred touring company!Ray Bentley
