Join us on a trip of a lifetime! On June 7, 2012, Dr. Draper and I will be leading a group on an incredible journey to Greece and Turkey. We invite you to join us for a "Once in a Lifetime Experience" to see the very places where Paul walked, taught and lived. The Bible will come alive for you. We would like to share this experience with you and encourage you to join us.
We will enjoy seven nights aboard our cruise ship with visits to Istanbul, Tzmir, Ephesis, Patmos and Crete (Heraklion) and also stops in Rhodes, Santorini and Mykonos. Then, we visit Athens, the cradle of civilization. See the Acropolis and Mars Hill where Paul delivered his famous sermon about the "Unknown God". Visit Corinth, where Paul lived and preached. We are certain you will return filled with enthusiasm, gratitude and a renewed faith.
