Luke says he first dreamed of visiting Israel when he was just 4 years old.

“My grandmother taught Sunday school,” he recalls. “She talked about the places where Jesus walked and taught. I knew I wanted to see them.”

Years later, Covenant Journey made that dream come true.

In 2016, while studying at Pensacola Christian College, Luke was selected to participate in Covenant Journey, our organization that sends Christian college-age students to the Holy Land. And that trip changed him forever.

Standing in the Sea of Galilee...
Seeing the land where Scripture unfolded...

“It was life-changing,” Luke says. And the impact didn’t stop when the trip ended.

Today, Luke works in politics and media — helping shape conversations about America’s relationship with Israel. He has served as a congressional communications director and campaign strategist. He is a frequent guest on Fox News and other media outlets.

Luke has also advised multiple political campaigns and spoken at major national events. And when discussions arise about Israel, Luke brings something many policymakers don’t have: firsthand experience.

“I’ve stood at Israel’s borders,” Luke says. “When you’ve actually seen these places, it changes how you talk about them.”

That experience even helped Luke craft a congressional resolution affirming America’s support for Israel. But none of this would have happened without the generosity of supporters like you.

Covenant Journey trips are made possible through faithful donors who believe the next generation must see the Holy Land for themselves.

Help send the next student to Israel.

Today Luke leads his own media and consulting firm and continues to speak publicly about Israel and faith. But he still says the Covenant Journey trip remains one of the most formative experiences of his life.

“You can read about these places,” Luke says. “But when you stand there… everything changes.”

And that is exactly why this mission matters. When students experience Israel firsthand, their faith deepens. Their understanding grows. And many become leaders who boldly stand for Israel in government, media, and culture.

But we can’t do it without you. Your gift today will help provide scholarships for students to participate in Covenant Journey — so more young Christians can experience the Holy Land and become defenders of Israel.

Give now to raise the next generation of leaders.

Luke’s story is just one example of what God is doing through Covenant Journey. In the coming weeks, I look forward to sharing more inspiring stories with you. But today, I ask you to prayerfully consider supporting this mission.

Because your generosity is helping raise up leaders who will defend Israel in government, media, business, and beyond.
