Taylors Go East

Join us on our adventure to Israel & studying at Jerusalem University College

Genesis 12:1

Welcome!

The Lord is Calling

Shalom, friends!

First of all, we could not have even dreamed of this opportunity without the Lord’s provision and guidance over many years through prayer, fasting, reading the Word and conversations with mentors, friends, and family. The Lord is clearly calling us to this place and we are choosing to go and follow Him there. As part of our journey in Israel, Grant will be pursuing a Master of Arts in Old Testament at Jerusalem University College.

We cannot wait to share this journey of learning more about the Waymaker, walking out our faith, growing together in our marriage, and enjoying the rich cultural, historical and culinary diversity that the Land offers, including the wine country!

Jerusalem, Israel

August 2025 – TBD

Why

Because God is calling us to the Land

Why Jerusalem?

Grant will be studying at Jerusalem University College to pursue his Masters of Arts in Old Testament as part of a joint program with Northern Seminary (Lisle, IL). Grant has completed his first year of classes with Northern and is working towards completing the remainder of his Master’s program. This is immersive graduate work that includes field studies in the places where the stories themselves took place, studying Biblical languages and trekking across ancient sites in Bible Lands.
