SPREADING THE GOSPELPaul’s mission to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world led him first to Asia Minor, modern day Turkey, to some of the largest and most influential cities in the Roman world. On his first journey he sailed to Pamphylia along the south coast of Turkey and preached at Perge, and Attalia, modern Antalya. On his second he visited Ephesus on the Aegean Coast while on his third journey and on his voyage to Rome he called at cities in the nearby province of Lycia, at Myra and Patara. It was among the people of these cities that Christianity first spread from its home base of Syria and Palestine. SAIL WITH SAINT PAULOur own journeys tours reflect Paul’s role in this epoch-making time in the history of Christendom, combining the milieu of the cities visited by Paul with seas and mountains little changed in two thousand years. Our private cruises along the coasts of Turkey and the adjacent Greek Islands are extremely successful and truly convey the atmosphere of the period, as well as creating a time of great relaxation, contemplation and fellowship. THE MISSIONARY JOURNEYSWe offer a number of itineraries associated with the events related in Acts of the Apostles, including private cruises reflecting Paul's First Journey to Pamphylia and Lycia, his Second Journey to Ephesus, Athens and Corinth, and his Third Journey along the Aegean Coast to Miletus. SAINT JOHN AND THE SEVEN CHURCHESWe also cruise though the Greek Islands, including Rhodes and especially Patmos , where St John the Divine wrote the Book of Revelation, and we can visit the Seven Churches – Smyrna, Thyatira, Laodicea, Ephesus, Pergamon and Sardis. |
