Over 7 days in Turkey and 4 days in Greece, you will explore breathtaking vistas, cultural charms, and landmarks of olden times. The once-in-a-lifetime experience brings you along the path where faithful followers of Jesus walked, to learn about the historical significance of ancient archaeological sites from the Bible. It’s essentially the Word of God coming to life.
We will visit the remains of the 7 churches that Revelations described, where Paul, Barnabas, Timothy and Silas spread the gospel, as well as several places from Paul’s first and second missionary journey. Some of the stunning ancient city sights on the trip include Cappadocia, Pamukkale, Ephesus, Athens, and Corinth
