Through her own journey, the &#8216;selah-moments&#8217; she experienced were life changing. \u00a0This drew her to a place where she wanted to provide opportunities for Christians to have these moments.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;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.&#8221; says Lisa.<\/p>\n<p>Selah provides these opportunities through travel to Biblical places, but also to places where God&#8217;s creation makes us look to Him with awe and wonder. \u00a0Custom 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The power of pausing and reflecting is incredible. As A.W. Tozer writes &#8216;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.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/selah.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Lisa-2023-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Lisa 2023\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"2560\" width=\"1920\" title=\"Lisa 2023\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/selah.au\/wp-content\/plugins\/bb-plugin\/img\/pixel.png\" alt=\"\" itemprop=\"image\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/A_xouTtMe00\/maxresdefault.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<h1>\n\t\tOUR TEAM\n\t<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/selah.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Lisa-2023_2-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Lisa 2023_2\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"150\" width=\"150\" title=\"Lisa 2023_2\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<strong>Lisa Tarzia<br \/>\n<\/strong>\u00a0Founder\/Managing Director\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/selah.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/MicrosoftTeams-image-20-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"MicrosoftTeams-image (20)\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"150\" width=\"150\" title=\"MicrosoftTeams-image (20)\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<strong>Melanie Selvam<br \/>\n<\/strong>Travel Sales Consultant\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/selah.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/christelle-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"christelle\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"150\" width=\"150\" title=\"christelle\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<strong>Christelle Marisson<br \/>\n<\/strong>\u00a0Travel Sales Consultant\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/selah.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Mariat_Candid-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Mariat_Candid\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"150\" width=\"150\" title=\"Mariat_Candid\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<strong>Maria Teychenn\u00e9<br \/>\n<\/strong>Administration Assistant\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/selah.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/amy-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"amy\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"150\" width=\"150\" title=\"amy\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<strong>Amy Keeble<br \/>\n<\/strong>Designer\n<h1>\n\t\tFIND OUT MORE\n\t<\/h1>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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.
