A Hebrew Word For An Intentional Pause To Reflect.

Helping Christians Go Deeper In Their Faith

In our high-paced lives, Selah offers experiences for Christians to go deeper in their faith through travel.

Travel opportunities including Holy Land and Bible Tours, or simply travel to a beautiful destination with like-minded people.

 

 

THE SELAH STORY

The concept of 'Selah' was birthed from Lisa Tarzia's personal experience.  As the Executive Director of Selah, and formerly Mission Travel, Lisa has always been passionate about travel that transforms. Through her own journey, the 'selah-moments' she experienced were life changing.  This drew her to a place where she wanted to provide opportunities for Christians to have these moments.

"Escaping from the busyness of life and making an intentional choice to stop and go deeper in faith is what I want to create. I guess it is a type of discipleship travel." says Lisa.

Selah provides these opportunities through travel to Biblical places, but also to places where God's creation makes us look to Him with awe and wonder.  Custom made for the Australian Christian, the heart behind Selah is for people to grow and be transformed. Selah recruits tour leaders of excellence that can commentate and facilitate this growth. 

The power of pausing and reflecting is incredible. As A.W. Tozer writes 'More spiritual progress can be made in one short moment of speechless silence in the awesome presence of God than in years of mere study.'

We are thrilled to hear today’s announcement of the long-awaited ceasefire agreement. While this is an exciting and hopeful step, there is still a long journey ahead to achieve lasting peace in the Holy Land. The ceasefire plan consists of three critical stages, and challenges may arise at any point along the way. The stages are as follows: Stage 1: A six-week ceasefire and the return of some hostages, beginning Sunday, January 19, 2025. Stage 2: Establishing a permanent ceasefire and the release of all remaining hostages. Stage 3: The lifting of the blockade on the Gaza Strip and the rebuilding of Gaza. Our Director, Lisa Tarzia, will travel to Israel on a reconnaissance trip in June 2025 to ensure all preparations are in place to welcome our clients. Selah Tours will resume once Stage 2—the permanent ceasefire—is securely established. We anticipate being able to run one or two tours in late 2025, with a…

The UK has introduced Electronic Travel Authorisations (ETAs) for all visitors to the UK. From 8 January 2025, Australians who don’t currently need a visa for short stays or don’t already have a UK immigration status will need an ETA to travel to the UK. An ETA permits multiple visits to the UK for stays of up to 6 months at a time over 2 years or until the holder’s passport expires, whichever is sooner. An ETA does not guarantee entry to the UK. Sadly there are many scam websites for these types of transactions so we encourage you to only use the government website. More details can be found HERE.
