At Selah, we are deeply saddened by the loss of life and freedom caused by the Israel-Hamas War, and we continue to pray fervently for peace. We also recognize the importance of having a thoughtful plan for resuming our biblical tours to the area in 2025. We are using a proposed three-stage ceasefire plan to determine when it will be safe and appropriate to recommence our tours. The stages are as follows: Stage 1: A six-week ceasefire and the return of some hostages. Stage 2: A permanent ceasefire and the release of remaining hostages. Stage 3: The lifting of the blockade on the Gaza Strip and the rebuilding of Gaza. Once Stage 1 commences, our Director, Lisa Tarzia, will travel to Israel on a reconnaissance trip to ensure all preparations are in place to welcome our clients. Selah tours will resume once Stage 2, the permanent ceasefire, is established. The focus of Selah tours to…
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.'

What a blessing it is for Christians to be able to travel together, as we do with Selah Christian Tours. In creation, we see God’s lordship on display in his control over all things, his authority over all the universe, and his presence in every part of creation. The bible tells us: “For You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created.” Revelation 4:11. We read in Genesis 1 that “God created the heavens and the earth.” Furthermore in Colossians 1:16, it gives the added detail that God created “all things” through Jesus Christ. The plain teaching of Scripture, therefore, is that Jesus is the Creator of the universe. The wonder of creation should encourage us to worship the triune God who, in His benevolence, has given us all good things to enjoy (1 Timothy 6:17). We must be careful, however, to not allow this wonder and awe to degenerate into creature…
One of the organisations we partner with, The Parent’s Circle has joint CEO’s – one Palestinian and one Israeli. They have a shared understanding of the grief, loss and heartache that is felt, culminating in this current conflict. We want to share with you their words and ask that you use them as a prayer to pray for peace in this place. CEOs statements: “As we stand on the threshold of a new year, the urgency to bring an end to the protracted Israeli-Palestinian conflict resonates more than ever. With just days remaining, our collective responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of affected children underscores the pressing need for a just and lasting resolution. This year has indeed been a rigorous test of our values, revealing the depths of challenges and the unsettling nature of certain situations. It prompts us to reflect on the strength of our principles in the face of adversity and…
