Among the Temptations at the Temptation Tourist Center: Camel Rides!
One of the most popular things to do at the Temptation Tourist Center is hop on a camel for a ride, which you'll find right in the parking area and around the main grounds of the Tell es-Sultan--Jericho site.
The site takes its name from the Mount of Temptation, looming to the West, remembered for the Temptations of Jesus as recorded in Luke 4.

Spring Break, 2023: Students Visit the Biblical Heartland
Students from CCCB, JU, and OCCC visiting the site of Tel Dan in northern Israel.
For the past two weeks, students from Central Christian College of the Bible, Johnson University, and Ozark Christian College traveled throughout the Holy Land together along with professors Walt Harper (CCCB), Rick Cherok (Ozark) and Bill Wolf (Johnson). We explored, learned, prayed, laughed, and had a ton of fun together. We even charged the Beit Guvrin amphitheater floor as gladiators representing our schools….before meeting in the middle as friends.
Returning home tired but grateful!
