Meet Your Israel
Trip Host: Roy Morgan
Roy Morgan is a longtime leader in the Christian music industry, a passionate supporter of Israel, and an enthusiastic student of biblical history and archaeology. His love for the land and its people has inspired him to introduce others to the extraordinary places where biblical history unfolded.
Through PremierIsrael.com, Roy hosts journeys to the Holy Land that combine biblical teaching, historical discovery, and firsthand experiences at some of Scripture's most significant locations. His desire is to help travelers gain a deeper understanding of the Bible by exploring its historical, cultural, and geographical setting. For Roy, visiting Israel is much more than sightseeing. It is an opportunity to see Scripture come alive in unforgettable ways.
Roy is best known as the co-founder of Premier Productions, now TPR LIVE, one of the nation's leading promoters of Christian concerts and events. Over four decades, he has helped shape the Christian music industry and played an important role in the careers of many of its most influential artists. Premier events have sold more than 40 million tickets and presented over 6,000 concerts nationally and internationally.
In 2002, Roy co-founded Premier Cruises, producing distinctive faith-based and entertainment experiences aboard chartered cruise ships. More than 150,000 passengers have traveled with Premier on events including the K-LOVE Cruise, Summer Worship Nights, Duck Dynasty, Property Brothers, and Love Like You Mean It Marriage Cruises.
Roy and his partners also established Premier Arts Collective, a nonprofit foundation that has raised and donated more than $40 million to mission projects around the world.
As the former Chairman of the Board of the Gospel Music Association, Roy helped guide the growth of the annual Dove Awards and supported the development of the Museum of Christian and Gospel Music, which opened in downtown Nashville in 2025.
In addition to his continued service on the Gospel Music Association Board, Roy serves on the Board of the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., as well as the boards of Hopefulls Inc. and Project 58. He also serves on the Advisory Board of Triad Business Bank in North Carolina.
Roy and his wife, Kathy, have been married for more than 45 years and live in Lexington, North Carolina. They have three children, two daughters-in-law, and seven grandchildren who affectionately call them Pops and Mimi.
Roy looks forward to welcoming travelers to Israel and sharing an experience that brings the history, culture, and stories of the Bible into a whole new perspective.
