And I will be the lead teacher. Our tour will be nearly two weeks long and we will visit major cities and sites.<\/p>\n<p>The tour also will include a marvelous stop at none other than gorgeous Santorini, that lovely Greek island, and we will have daily Bible studies focused on the life and mission of the apostle Paul and some also on the apostle John and devotionals.<\/p>\n<p>I have never been to Greece or Turkey, so this is a highlight tour for me and I\u2019m already plotting the teaching sessions. We will also have daily special teaching sessions from a Chicagoland pastor (Eric Camfield, from Christ Church Oakbrook).<\/p>\n<p>We are giving those interested plenty of lead time, keeping the tour to one dimension of Bible times (the apostles in their missionary work), and praying we will find groups from churches to explore the Bible in its original setting.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #a00109;\">Exploring the First Century Church<\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"color: #000000;\">Follow the footsteps of Paul and John through Turkey and Greece.<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\">June 19 \u2013 July 1, <strong>2016<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\">During this 13 day contextual tour we will visit over 15 historical sites including Istanbul, Nicaea, Hierapolis, Laodicea, Colossae, Ephesus, Patmos, Crete, Athens, Corinth, Cenchreae, Thessalonica, Philippi, Kavala, and more!<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\">Imagine standing where\u00a0Paul stood while preaching\u00a0to the Phillipians or walking the same road that John walked into Ephesus. On this life changing tour participants will experience the first century church in a whole new way. The tour will be led by Scot McKnight in partnership with local tour guides and experts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\">The entire program cost including airfare, travel, lodging, and food is $5,109. To help meet this cost, we encourage participants to raise support through their church, their family, and their friends.
