It&#8217;s a trip to Turkey and Greece this coming June 2015. I led a wonderful group of \u00a0thirty folks to Israel in 2009, and many of them requested I put together a follow-on trip covering the footsteps of Paul\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0his missionary journeys. Then earlier this year a pastor friend of mine mentioned he had promised his people a similar trip, but was having trouble finding the time to plan it. I offered my assistance.\u00a0The resulting trip is on the books and available to you or any friends who may \u00a0be interested. We have twenty folks signed up and have room for ten or so more to make an optimum size group.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1012\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/afriendoftheking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_0425-Version-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1012\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1012\" src=\"https:\/\/afriendoftheking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_0425-Version-2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"I am! :)\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/afriendoftheking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_0425-Version-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/afriendoftheking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_0425-Version-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/afriendoftheking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_0425-Version-2-624x468.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1012\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I am! \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Paul covered an amazing amount of territory in his missionary journeys, even by today&#8217;s standards.\u00a0We&#8217;ve arranged our travel to cover about 80-90% of it, including the Churches of Revelation, and the Isle of Patmos where John wrote the Apocalypse.

Ephesus is still the most amazing archaeological site I&#8217;ve ever seen.
