Bring what you’ve learned from the online Academy to real-world application with like-minded Christians. Our weekend retreat includes case studies and lectures from experts.

Travel to the Holy Land

Leadership Institute

After the online Academy and retreat, apply to join our select leaders in the Holy Land for a week-long trip. These on-the-ground experiences will strengthen your understanding of the people groups, cultures, and places of the Near East.

The Philos Project is a Christian community advocating for pluralism in the Near East, Zionism, and spiritual restoration in the West. Our programs and communities reconnect Christians with their Judeo-Christian roots in Israel to help them lead global change. Through our free education and leadership programs, Christians will experience expert-guided and on-the-ground education, hands-on advocacy, and community amongst like-minded Christians.
