Born and raised in Virginia Beach, Luke Hilton first came on a trip to Israel when he was 16. Little did he know he would be forever changed as he began to see his Bible come to life. Since then, he has become a passionate advocate on behalf of Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria––the heartland of Israel.

Luke has been speaking about Israel to groups around the world since 2011, and has traveled extensively in the United States, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. His heart is to see God’s Kingdom restored to Israel. His passion is to tell the story of Israel to millions of Christian Zionists around the world, inspiring them to engage in God’s story that is unfolding in the Holy Land.

Luke works for the non-profit 501c3 organization HaYovel as Director of Marketing. Under Luke’s gifted hands, HaYovel has gained international airtime for the popular TV show The Joshua and Caleb Report: Stories from the Heartland of Israel.

Today, he is the director of The Israel Guys, co-hosts all the weekly shows and podcasts, and does extensive researching and writing each week for The Heartland Report.
