What Our Guests Say About Turkey
Great job, St Paul Pilgrimage Turkey was inspirational to walk where Paul walked and see the sacrifices that the early Christians went through. It puts more meaning in reading the Bible when you can stand where the early Christians stood.
Leroy and Barbara Custer
Thank you so much for putting together such a wonderful St Paul Pilgrimage Turkey, we enjoyed every minute of it! We were kind of worried about the large size of the group, but we have to say it never was a problem, or interfered with any of our scheduled activities – group leaders was a stroke of genius. Thanks again for all your prayers, hard work and dedication in putting together such a fantastic experience! Blessings.
