You're retracing the footsteps of the Apostle Paul, standing upon the very ground where the Seven Churches of Revelation first received Christ’s message. This is a holy walk through the lands of Scripture, where faith and God's love intertwine in the most unforgettable way.

September 6 | Smyrna, Pergamum & Thyatira
After breakfast, we'll take a group flight to Izmir to begin our journey through the Seven Churches of Revelation. We arrive in Smyrna, the Suffering Church, where Christ’s words from Revelation 2:10 echo, “Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.” Here, we honor the courage of believers who stood unwavering in their devotion, even when tested.
From there, we ascend to Pergamum, known as the Compromising Church, which Revelation 2:13 describes as the very city "where Satan’s throne is." Among the ruins, we reflect on the tension between holding fast to faith and the danger of yielding to compromise.
​
Our journey then carries us to Thyatira, the Corrupt Church. In Revelation 2:20–23, Christ rebukes this community for tolerating “that Jezebel who calls herself a prophet,” whose false teachings led many into sexual immorality and spiritual adultery. Here, we are reminded of His call to purity and desire for His church to remain undefiled, faithful, and steadfast.

September 7 | Sardis, Philadelphia & Laodicea
This morning, we begin at Sardis, the Dead Church. In Revelation 3:1-3 Christ warns of a faith that appears alive but is spiritually lifeless. We'll reflect on the dangers of spiritual decline and the call to cultivate a faith that is vibrant and true.
​
We continue on to Philadelphia, the Faithful Church, a testament to perseverance and unwavering devotion. As we stand among its historic remains, we are inspired by the memory of a community commended for enduring trials with steadfast hearts.
​
Lastly, we reach Laodicea, the Lukewarm Church, neither hot nor cold as written in Revelations 3:15-17. Amidst its majestic ruins and columned streets, we reflect on the call to wholehearted devotion and the courage to embrace faith without compromise.
​
Later, we'll enjoy a traditional Turkish dinner and reminisce on the beauty of the day.

September 8 | The Loveless Church
After a leisurely breakfast, our private guide leads us into Ephesus, the Loveless Church. As we stroll through the ruins, we walk where the Apostle Paul preached the gospel and performed miraculous signs, reflecting on Revelation 2:4–5 and the call to rekindle a heart wholly devoted to Christ.
​
Next, we'll visit the House of the Virgin Mary. Tradition holds that she spent her final years in quiet devotion after Christ’s crucifixion. Afterward, we ascend to St. John’s Basilica, the resting place of the beloved disciple. Standing among the ancient stones, we feel the weight of his faithfulness and the enduring legacy of his ministry, drawing us into reflection and awe.

September 9 | Paul's Farewell at Miletos
Today, our private guide will take us to the ancient city of Miletos, mentioned in Acts 20:15–38, the place where the Apostle Paul paused on his final journey to Jerusalem. It is here that we remember his heartfelt farewell to the elders of the Ephesian church, "But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus---the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God". As we wander the Ancient Theater, imagine Paul speaking to the gathered elders, offering guidance, encouragement, and a reminder to remain faithful even in the face of trials.​

Accommodation: Coco-Mat Athens BC (5-Star Hotel)
September 11 | Athens, Corinth, and Cenchrea
Today, we'll be guided through Athens. Standing atop the Acropolis, we take in the grandeur of monuments like the Parthenon, imagining the world Paul observed as he walked these streets. At Mars’ Hill (Areopagus), we pause to reflect on the moment Paul boldly declared the gospel to the Athenians, "While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was deeply troubled by all the idols he saw everywhere in the city. He went to the synagogue to reason with the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles, and he spoke daily in the public square to all who happened to be there." Acts 17:16-17.
​
Next, we'll travel to ancient Corinth, a city central to Paul’s ministry and setting of Acts 18:1-18. You will explore the Agora, Temple of Apollo, Roman Odeon, Bema, Gallio’s Seat, and other historic sites, each stone whispering stories of early Christian courage and devotion.
Before returning to Athens, we visit Cenchrea, where Paul cut his hair to mark the end of his Nazirite vow in Acts 18:18. As the day concludes, we return to luxury and comfort, with time to rest and savor the profound experience of tracing Paul’s footsteps across Greece.

September 12 | Continuing Paul's Footsteps
After breakfast, we'll fly to Thessaloniki. Our first stop is Berea a community that eagerly received Paul’s message as described in Acts 17:10-14.
​
We continue to Thessaloniki, a city central to Paul’s second and third missionary journeys, the place Paul established a community of believers and later wrote 1st and 2nd Thessalonians. As you wander through the Cathedral of St. Demetrius, the Agora, Galerius Arch, Rotonda, Church of Saint Sofia, the White Tower, and the Byzantine fortress, you'll bring the stories of Scripture comes to life—faith, courage, and perseverance that unfolded in this city nearly two thousand years ago
*Breakfast and Lunch Included
Accommodation: Antigon Urban Chic Hotel (5-Star Hotel)
September 13 | Philippi and Kavala
On our final day, we journey to Philippi, the place Paul delivered his first sermon on European soil, laying the foundation for Christianity. It was here, in the winter of AD 49-50, that Lydia, a devoted woman of faith, heard the gospel and became the first recorded Christian baptized in Europe (Acts 16:12-18), marking the beginning of a new chapter in the spread of Christianity. As you explore the ancient stones, imagine the night of Acts 16:23-34, when Paul and Silas prayed in prison and were miraculously released, leading the jailer and his family to embrace baptism and new life in Christ.
​
In the afternoon, we reach Kavala, once the ancient city of Neapolis (Acts 16:11), the first place in Europe where Paul, Timothy, and Silas first set foot. Renamed Christoupolis, it became the first European city to welcome the gospel. Afterwards, we'll gather for a beautiful Farewell Dinner in Thessalonica to celebrate this sacred experience.
