About Dr. John DeLancey & Biblical Israel Ministries & Tours (BIMT)
You will sense a strong passion for teaching the Bible within the context of the land of Israel! Dr. John DeLancey, Director of BIMT, has studied in Jerusalem for one year (an archaeology and historical geography student), and has (to date) led over 90 Israel trips! He has pastored for 26 years. He founded BIMT in 2016 when he transitioned from pastoring full time to leading trips and teaching around the country as his full time ministry.
BIMT is a non-profit evangelical ministry (501c3). The ministry, located in Pennsylvania, depends on the faithful support of others. Many resources have been produced (i.e. John's two books, drone video, teaching videos on our Youtube page, topography maps) for the purpose of helping people understand the Bible in light of archaeology, history, geography, topography, customs, culture, and the Hebraic background of Jesus.
Each episode of this podcast highlights a Bible passage/narrative with the aim of unfolding it within context of the land. It is our prayer that Dr. John teaches sheds light on the truth of God's Word for your encouragement in your walk of faith!
