The Master’s University is excited to host an Israel Bible Extension (IBEX) reunion trip in summer 2026, taking place June 14-25. The trip is designed for alumni of TMU’s IBEX program and their families as a way to re-experience the land of Israel and reunite with fellow TMU graduates.

This trip will be led by program veterans Dr. Todd Bolen (IBEX professor, 1996-2007) and Randy Cook (IBEX professor, 1996-2008), alongside current IBEX professor John Black. Participants will revisit beloved sites like the Arbel Cliffs and the Sea of Galilee, while encountering new excavations like the synagogue in Magdala, El Araj/Bethsaida (the likely hometown of Peter, Andrew, and Philip) and the Pilgrim’s Road beneath the City of David.

The group will spend several nights on the IBEX campus, in addition to visits to the Gloria Hotel in the Old City and the Ein Gev Holiday Resort on the Sea of Galilee.

“I’ve literally been waiting over 20 years for this trip,” Bolen says. “Our alumni are going to love seeing the changes to the IBEX campus, being together with old friends and profs, and soaking in the Bible as we travel back to favorite sites and see the latest discoveries. Our time will bring back a flood of wonderful memories and remind us again of the faithfulness of our awesome God.”
