Dr. Randall Smith and his wife Dottie raised their three children in Jerusalem, as he developed travel study programs in Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Cyprus and Italy. With extensive study in the interconnection between the Bible, its contemporary history, archaeology and cultures of the ancient world, Dr. Smith has taught in Bible lands - from the back of a camel to the deck of a cruise ship - for three decades. He continues to offer acclaimed travel experiences for students of the Bible through Christian Travel Study Programs, Inc. Over the last decade, he has carefully developed a curriculum and taught through the entire Bible each year with students from the Great Commission Bible Institute in Sebring, Florida, while maintaining a robust travel schedule with study groups to Bible lands. He is a Pastor, Bible Professor and tour guide instructor who loves to show how standing on the ruins of an ancient place can enliven the text of Scripture.
