    Earn your way to the Holy Land

    January 9, 2017 / By Shannon Hodson / .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

    Bishop Mark J. Webb and his wife, Jodi Webb planned an 11-day trip (January 9-19, 2018) to the Holy Land through Educational Opportunities Tours for anyone in the Conference to join. Click here to learn more about the trip. If you would like to join them, the earlier you register, the more you can save. For example, register by February 9, 2017 to save $150.

    Pastors are also able to promote the tour and earn their trip. They will earn Tour Host credits for each full- paying passenger they recruit. The tour is based on one earned trip for every five full paying passengers. Five full-paying passengers will cover the pastor; five more will cover the spouse, etc.  

    Tour Host credits are taxable income, so they will receive a 1099 for any host credits used for travel.

    To become a Tour Host, simply fill out a host form and an account will be set up for each pastor who would like to promote the tour.
    Here is the link to the host form: https://www.forms.travelwithus.com/web/hostrequests.nsf/DTMBookNewHost?OpenForm
    The host will be given access to our website to:

    • View step-by-step information on how to promote the tour.
    • View video for the Holy Land tour.
    • View their Passenger Report.
    • View Host Questions and Answers.

    Educational Opportunities will be happy to create personalized brochures with their name and host number listed.

    If the pastor is already a host with EO, they can simply contact our office at 1-800-247-0017, extension 480 for brochures.  Alternatively one can also call or email Kaye Cline directly at ext. 319 or kcline@travelwithus.com.

    Educational Opportunities Tours is a Full-Service Administration and will handle all the details for your tour.  The passenger can either fill out the registration form on the brochure or register online with the information from the brochure.  Educational Opportunities Tour will collect the payments, send billing statements, pre-trip information and final instructions. Carissa Lake will be serving as the Tour Host Assistant for the project and will help ensure EO has everything needed for you and your group.
