Biblical Resources Study Tripsto Unusual Destinations with Important Biblical Themes

We have received such a great response to the NileRiver Cruise to Egypt that it has filled up with awaiting list. So next January we will offer another tripwith an emphasis on Middle Egypt and a new portion ofthe cruise to the archaeological sites on Lake Nasser.

We are very excited about our new trib to the Medi-terranean and Aegean by yacht. We scouted out thevarious ports and ships available and believe it will beone of our most unique and relaxing ways to visit themore isolated ancient ports visited on the MissionaryJourneys of St Paul. See p.3 for details.

Please look at the titles on the right column forsome of the unique Christian travel opportunities we areoffering the next two years. Each itinerary has beendesigned to help you discover the origins of your faithand how early followers of Jesus sought to apply histeachings to the daily challenges they met in life.
