Our study trips provide participants with experiences and insights into the culture, geography and history of the lands of the Bible. Vital to this is walking the land as Jesus and his talmidim (disciples) did. The followers of Jesus not only learned with their eyes and ears but also with their feet. In so doing, they grew into a close net community. As we learn with our feet, the Word of God grows our perspective in new and exciting ways.

Our study trips provide participants with experiences and insights into the culture, geography and history of the lands of the Bible. Vital to this is walking the land as Jesus and his talmidim (disciples) did. The followers of Jesus not only learned with their eyes and ears but also with their feet.

In the Ezekiel 40:4 passage, "See with your eyes, hear with your ears, and set your heart on all that I show you for that's why I brought you here. Then go tell Israel ...," the man of God invites the prophet to see, hear and focus on what God has to reveal in such a way that his word and life become the message. Under The Fig Tree Ministry seeks to provide an environment for such focus through studying the text in its literary, cultural, and geographic context. This is accomplished by study trips to Egypt, Jordan and Israel
First century talmidim (disciples) would follow their rabbi as he walked throughout the Land teaching with both word and action. The Bible describes learning from a rabbi as "sitting at his feet," which was often done in the synagogue as well as in the Temple colonnades. Sitting at the rabbi's feet was also done under a fig tree, not only because of the shade it provided but also because of the tree's sweet fruit. Soon "under the fig tree" became an idiom for one who sits under the shade of a Rabbi's teaching enjoying the "sweet" fruit of his instruction and wisdom.

For Clips that Move Mountains

For Clips that Move Mountains

Bishop E. Bernard Jordan is a man who has been singularly forged by the fire of destiny, which cause his eyes to burn with a vision for the Body of Christ that shall impact the entire world.

Born a native of Brooklyn, New York, Bishop Jordan received his ultimate calling at the age of 15, where he was summoned to prophesy. By the age of 24, he was recognized nationally as a prophet. Rising from the obscurity of the ghetto to his present and current fame he is known to millions as God's messenger, the Prophet.

Bishop Elijah Bernard Jordan is the founder and Senior Pastor of Zoe Ministries since 1983.

From its inception, Zoe Ministries has placed great emphasis on raising up intercessors within the Body of Christ; inspiring men and women who would faithfully stand in the gap between God and the people, between God and the hurting, between God and the wounded, and between God and the nations. The intercessors must faithfully implore and cry out to God for the bridges of separation to be repaired, and for a highway to be created that God may move as He desires in the earth.

As Zoe Ministries continued to mature and grow, the prophetic office of Bishop Jordan continued to expand, impacting the Body of Christ in a most remarkable manner. God continues to validate the prophetic calling of Bishop Jordan, and because of the transference of his mantle, the ministry itself has developed strong prophetic overtones that consistently echo through every facet of ecclesiastic service.

The Daily Pulse (Wednesday, October 9, 2013): But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. Isaiah 53:5 (NIV)

The Daily Pulse (Monday, October 7, 2013): On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ” Then they remembered his words. Luke 24:1-8 (NIV)
