Hosts: Ron and Peggy DeLeenheer

Shalom!

We are Ron and Peggy DeLeenheer, and are thrilled to have the privilege of traveling to Israel as Tour Hosts for the BSF Travel Committee.

Peggy is a former Teaching Leader and has been involved in BSF for over 40 years. Ron has been on the BSF bandwagon since retiring 10 years ago, and attends a men’s class in Waco, Texas.

We have 3 married children and 10 grandchildren, most of whom live in Waco. We love the Lord and the Land of the Bible, and have traveled to Israel over 10 times. Of all the places we have visited in the world, there is nothing quite like ISRAEL! Every trip is a unique opportunity to encounter the Lord in the very places He walked and taught. Our hearts have grown more deeply in love with Jesus as we have experienced the awe of standing on the Mount of Olives, where one day His feet will touch down when He returns to rule and reign in righteousness in the “City of the Great King!” We look forward to joining you as together we take our BSF lessons to the next level by experiencing the Bible through the Land and the people of Israel.

“On your walls, Jerusalem, I have set watchmen. All day and all night, they will never hold their peace. You who remind Adonai, take no rest for yourselves, and give Him no rest until He establishes and makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.” Isaiah 62:6-7
