When is the SOM run?
Twice a year, usually in March and November.
What does the package include?
The package includes: accommodation, 3 meals per day except for 2 lunches in Jerusalem, transportation, Bible teachers and full tuition for the School of Ministry, entry fees to national parks and professional tour guides.

All materials for the teaching sessions will be provided.

You might not be staying in luxury hotels but rather in a guesthouse run by local believers which is clean, comfortable and convenient, excelling in service and hospitality. Some rooms have their own showers but most have shower facilities that are a short distance down the hall. Since the guesthouse cannot accommodate the whole of the SOM, a second option is given to stay in a four star hotel nearby. A very reasonable supplement is charged for this. In Jerusalem we choose a convenient four-star hotel.

There will be two people per room.

What is the cost of the SOM?
The total package price is determined about three months before the SOM begins (please contact us for the current package price).

Carmel School of Ministry seeks to provide an intensive and life changing learning experience in the Land of Israel. During the days in the country every opportunity will be taken to teach the prophetic significance of modern Israel and to impart a vision of the Bible coming to life in our own times. Anointed leaders from various congregations and ministries in Israel will be among those who minister to the group in Bible teaching, worship and prayer. Everyone in the group will have a chance to learn from and fellowship with Messianic Jews and Arab Christians as well as leaders from other nations.
What is SOM?
The Mount Carmel School of Ministry is an intensive 12 days training course for men and women of God who are seeking prophetic understanding of the Scriptures and an anointing from God for end-time ministry.
