"Oz, Robert, Tim and I are excited to go to Israel and see first-hand the birthplace of Christianity," says lead vocalist/guitarist Michael Sweet. "And to be able to share this experience with some of our fans makes this even more incredible."
The tour will visit the following locations in Israel:

* Galilee Boat Ride: Where Jesus walked on the water
* Caesarea Philippi: Where the disciple Peter first confessed Jesus as the Messiah
* Nazareth Village: A recreation of a village at the time of Jesus
* Jordan River Baptism: An opportunity for those who wish to be baptized in the Jordan River
* Masada: Where the final Jewish revolt against the Romans took place
* The Dead Sea: A chance to float in the most therapeutic waters in the world
* Pools of Bethesda: Where Jesus healed the man who was lame for 37 years
* Garden Tomb: The place of Jesus’ crucifixion and Resurrection
* Yad Vashem: Memorial to the Holocaust
* Western Wall Tunnels: 60 feet below the modern city of Jerusalem
* Jerusalem: The City of God
* Mount of Olives: Where Jesus rode the donkey through the Eastern Gate
* Garden of Gethsemane: Where Jesus prayed before He was betrayed by Judas
* Western Wall: Holiest site in Judaism
Due to limited availability, this trip will sell out quickly. Reservations can be secured for only $300.
To register, please contact ari@ihtours.com or 1-877-999-8868 ext 415.
The cost for this unique travel opportunity is $3,299.00 per person, which includes airfare out of Los Angeles, New York or Toronto; hotel accommodations; all buffet breakfasts and dinners; air-conditioned transportation; an English-speaking tour guide and entrance fees to all of the sites.

Stryper - "The Covering" Due This Fall
The new STRYPER album entitled "The Covering", featuring all original members - front man Michael Sweet, drummer Robert Sweet, guitarist Oz Fox and bassist Timothy Gaines - will be released in the fall of 2010. Leader Michael Sweet has issued the following update:
"Just as promised, I wanted to outline some more details regarding the new Stryper record. We grew up listening to many different styles of music and there is a list of bands that influenced us throughout our musical education. Bands like JUDAS PRIEST, IRON MAIDEN, SCORPIONS, VAN HALEN, UFO, DEEP PURPLE,LED ZEPPELIN, QUEEN, KANSAS and many others, helped to shape our sound and make us who we are today, musically speaking. We grew up on the streets of LA playing every club in town from Gazzari's to The Whisky to The Troubadour to you name it. We played covers from all the bands mentioned above and we shaped our own sound from listening and performing songs from these classic bands. We wanted to step outside the box and record a record that shows you, the fans, where we come from - our historical, musical roots so to speak. It's a side to Stryper that no one has really seen or heard before, or at least quite like this. We performed 'On Fire' by Van Halen on a few tours and we also performed 'Breaking The Law' by Priest on this last tour. The response was far beyond our expectations each time we performed these songs. People seemed genuinely surprised to hear Stryper cover these songs and even more surprised to hear Stryper perform these songs relatively well. This will be an opportunity for Robert, Oz, Tim and myself to loosen up and have some fun. For those of you who may think that we're walking away from our faith - your wrong. We've never been more serious about our faith at any point in our lives. It is however important to enjoy what you do and lighten up from time to time. That's what we plan to do. This will be a fun record to make and we hope that this comes through, as well as the chance to showcase the abilities that we've been blessed with. More details to come and a specific song list and sequence to follow. We're looking forward to geting back into the studio and more important, to seeing all of you on the road again this year!
Be well, be blessed and let the games begin."
