Athens, Corinth, Thessaloniki, Philippi
Walk the steps of Paul
Walk the Steps of Paul
We will do a deep dive into Acts 16-18 while we visit the historical sites. Stand on Mars Hill (the Aeropagus) where Paul confronted the philosophers of Greece. See the Bema seat in Corinth where God used the local authorities to exonerate Paul in Acts 18. See the prison cell in Philippi where Paul and Silas met the jailer who became a key part of the first church in Europe. Put your feet in the water where Lydia was baptized as the first convert to Christianity in Europe.
You will stay in nice accommodations, eat fantastic Greek food, enjoy the historical sites, have deep fellowship with fellow travelers, and experience God’s work happening today in Greece. We will visit with local pastors and ministers, explore ministry to refugees, and walk through a refugee camp known to host most of those escaping from the near East.
This is a life changing experience that will not only thrill you with the natural beauty of Greece but it will change how you read scripture and affect your spiritual walk with God.
