Connie and I would like to invite you to join us for a once in a lifetime experience. Greece and Turkey are Biblically significant and historic places in our world. We have been a part of several groups to visit this area before. We promise you that this is a trip that could change your life!

For those of you who have traveled with us before, you understand how exciting and enjoyable these times of fellowship and study can be. We have discovered that many who do not know one another before hand come home as life long friends. Bonds are formed that are not easily broken. We eat the same food, travel in the same bus, see and experience the same sights and sounds. The hotels are among the best for the price and include buffet breakfasts and dinners. The finale is a beautiful Greek Isle cruise for three nights. A highlight for me is visiting the Island of Patmos, the place from whence the Apostle John received the Book of Revelation. Many experienced worldwide travelers state that these trips with other believers are the best trips they’ve ever taken.

We do not want you to miss out on this extraordinary opportunity to broaden your understanding of the New Testament and to widen your circle of friendships. This trip is co-hosted by Pastor Steve Troxel of Shepherds’ Support and Arlie Francis of Ariel Ministries. Arlie and I are committed to making this both a learning and fun experience. Sign up early and reserve your space. We are limiting the group to forty. We look forward to having these two weeks with you.

Modern western civilization rests to a large degree on a foundation laid over 2,400 years ago in ancient Greece. Today, Hellenism continues to influence government, art, science, language, sports, and philosophy. Much that Greece gave to the world is good. However, secular humanism is the result of the Greek man-centered philosophy. It has subverted a worldview that centers on our Creator.

Greece gave the world a common language that the apostles used to tell the Good News of the Gospel. They started in Jerusalem, went out from there to Judea and Samaria, and finally took God’s redemptive message into the rest of the world. Rome built the roads they traveled on. This tour will help you identify the historic origins of the Church, how God used the Jewish people from the Diaspora as a beach-head among pagan cultures, and expand your understanding of the New Testament record and message beginning with the 2nd Chapter of Acts and ending with the New Heavens and Earth.
