IBEX Friends and Family Program (Fall)

Be sure to direct any questions about flights to our travel agent Shayna Anderson at .

When we submit your personal information (full name, passport number, and expiration date) to the airline, the information we submit must match what appears on your passport. Otherwise, you will face challenges when you check in at the US and Israeli airports and likely have to pay some surcharge.

Along with your registration, send a clear color scan of your passport face page. This helps Dr. Beals start to connect faces with names before the trip begins. This is also helpful if someone loses their passport. If you don’t have your passport when you submit your registration form, email or mail it to the IBEX office by September 1st.

• If possible, please complete the registration form legibly. This will help ensure that we have accurate information and don’t incorrectly read someone’s handwriting. When we submit your personal information (full name, passport number, and expiration date) to the airline, the information we submit must EXACTLY MATCH what appears on your passport. Otherwise, you will face challenges when you check in at the US and Israeli airports and likely have to pay some surcharge. Be sure to sign and initial the marked places and give the date you completed the form. You must provide your initials for the travel insurance line on page 1 of the registration form. You can scan the form and email it to or mail it to the IBEX Office (see below address).
• Along with your registration, send a clear color scan of your passport face page (email a scan or mail the printed page). This helps Dr. Beals start to connect faces with names before the trip begins. It also is a kind of insurance. If anyone loses their passport (perish the thought!), the face page is a great starting point for getting that fixed ASAP in Israel. If you don’t have your passport when you submit your registration form, email or mail it to the IBEX office by September 1st.
• To pay by check, please make the check payable to The Master’s University and mail or deliver it to the IBEX Office.

A current passport is required and must not expire until six months after our return date. Don’t delay in applying for your passport, as it may take several weeks to process. A visa, however, is not required.

No vaccinations are required.

After the trip roster is settled, Dr. Beals will email a file that provides some guidance on what to bring and what to expect for weather.

You may make other arrangements to leave from other major airports and connect with the group, but we generally discourage travel to Israel apart from the group due to potential scheduling conflicts. We cannot arrange ground transportation or hotels for alternative travel arrangements if your flight schedule does not match that of the group or your flight’s arrival in Tel Aviv is delayed.

We will not go forward with a trip to Israel if we are convinced it is not safe. We also don’t go near Gaza, hang around border crossings, or match the profile that terrorists pursue.

Israel is a very safe place to be. In the end, we trust God’s providence and stay up to date on the status of travel in Israel.

This has never yet happened. A trip canceled before full payment is due will be refunded. A trip canceled after then can’t be refunded, as the money will be out of our hands. Individuals can buy travel insurance if concerned. If a person flying on their own calls off the trip because bad weather will delay their arrival, TMU will have no money to refund and most travel insurances will not apply.
