Journeys of Paul Trip- part 1

I apologize for not getting this up sooner. A couple weeks ago, Rebekah and I enjoyed the trip of a lifetime as we joined Palm Beach Atlantic University's Honors Study trip for a Journeys of Paul tour. One of my former Ouachita professors, Dr. Preben Vang, led the tour and was our connection for the trip. Our trip covered many of the key places that Paul visited on his second and third missionary journeys, along with a few other significant sites along the way.

We began in Istanbul and worked our way down the western coast of Turkey. Here are a few shots from Troas, where Paul received the Macedonian Vision in Acts 16:6-10.
