What Our Guests Say About Turkey
We really enjoyed St Paul’s Journey through Turkey & Patmos and the opportunity to meet so many quality people. You two are fortunate to have so many rewarding relationships. Thanks again for the planning and work that went into a great trip!”
Dr. Frank and Sharon Hamilton
Wow…What a St Paul’s Journey through Turkey & Patmos experience! It was a wonderfully unique time of discovering both God’s beautiful creation in these country. How cool is it to see His Hand in Philippi, Smyrna and Ephesus. Some people see just piles of rocks and stones, but we see a Father’s Love for His Children…Sweet His-story! The guide was a bonus, Arzu is in our memories forever.
