Watson and Greer will join the tour group each day for a variety of activities, including intimate performances and exclusive fan access with plenty of photo opportunities. Travelers will follow in the footsteps of Jesus, explore the ruins of the ancient port city built by King Herod, experience the Western Wall and the ancient city of Jerusalem, float in the Dead Sea, visit Yad Vashem (Holocaust Museum), roam the beaches of Tel Aviv, experience baptism in the Jordan River and much more.

"Seventeen years ago, I took my first trip to Israel," says Watson. "I've not been back since and I'm really looking forward to visiting again. It defies description. I wasn't prepared for the impact of standing at particular sites and replaying the world-changing, eternal events that took place on that ground. Everyone, at least once in a lifetime, should visit the place where our faith took shape, where the Lord took on human form and where our eternity was settled once and for all. Come with us! This could be your time! Together, we will make memories that will last your whole life."

The tour is limited to 50 travelers, and registrations are being accepted now. Families and travelers of all ages are welcome. The cost per traveler is $2,895.00, which includes roundtrip airfare from New York City, 4-star hotels and resorts in Israel, daily breakfast and dinner, air-conditioned bus with WiFi and more. For international travelers that want to make their own flight arrangements, "land only" packages are available at a reduced price. A deposit of $300 is required at the time of reservation. Payments plans are available and all major credit cards are accepted. For more information, go to www.israelthemetours.com/waynewatson.

About Wayne Watson
Wayne Watson's voice and songs helped define an entire genre of Christian music throughout the '80's and '90's. To say that his vocal styling and lyrics of open, honest communication of God's presence in everyday life circumstances helped lay the foundation on which today's contemporary Christian music is built would in no way be an overstatement. The Grammy and Dove Award winning artist's connection with his audience has to date produced 23 #1 singles on Christian radio-including "Friend of a Wounded Heart," "When God's People Pray," "Almighty," "Be in Her Eyes," "Watercolour Ponies," "More of You," "Another Time, Another Place" and "Home Free" (which became the most played song on Christian radio in 1991). In addition to the promise of new music, there's a return to national touring alongside artists Sandi Patty, Larnelle Harris, Twila Paris and more, and continued partnership as a major spokesperson for Holt International, an international adoption agency.

About Andrew Greer
Andrew Greer is an acclaimed singer/songwriter, respected music journalist and co-creator of the innovative "Hymns for Hunger" Tour, along with Dove Award-winning singer/songwriter Cindy Morgan. Helping raise awareness and resources for hunger relief organizations around the country, the tour has been presented in dozens of cities across the nation, along with special performances at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association earlier this year. Greer's sophomore recording, 2012's critically-praised "Angel Band: The Hymn Sessions," reached #2 on Amazon's Hot New Releases in Contemporary Folk chart and showcases collaborations with some of the top names in bluegrass, Gospel and Christian music, including The McCrary Sisters, Ron Block of Alison Krauss & Union Station, Sonya Isaacs, and Ginny Owens. Currently, "All Things Bright & Beautiful: Hymns for the Seasons," an instrumental collection produced and arranged by Greer, is at the top of Nielsen Christian SoundScan's Instrumental chart for the tenth consecutive week.
