What Our Guests Say About Turkey
I am so thankful to have been able to be on Seven Churches of Revelation Tour. Thank you for what you do. Turkey was a highlight for me. I fell in love with Turkey a place I never even really thought about. The places that impacted me the most were Laodicia, Philipi . The teaching in those places really struck a cord with me and I was grateful each time someone shared at a sight and brought us a Biblical perspective. I thought things went incredibly well. Grateful..
Judy Matteson
Thank you for putting together such an amazing Seven Churches of Revelation tour and herding all of through a tremendous amount of territory. It was incredible and is already enriching our studies. Sometimes I just get chills, knowing that I walked and stood in some of the exact places where Paul walked and stood. We absolutely loved the opportunities we had in Turkey to experience local culture and cuisine. Thanks again…it was an opportunity of a lifetime!!
