Purposeful Journeys

Purposeful Journeys tend to emphasize a theme of history, religious traditions, culture or cuisine according to the desire of the cohort of fellow travelers embarking on their journey. You are invited to explore the journeys we currently offer. If you see a journey that intrigues you and you desire to host a purposeful journey we can create a highly curated, custom travel experience for your group, congregation, organization or extended family.

Our Upcoming International Purposeful Journeys
Christ and Culture

Join us in Greece as a fellow traveler on our Christ and Culture purposeful journey. We will follow the travels and work of the Apostle Paul in establishing the early church in the milieu of ancient Greek culture. While, of course, we do not live in the culture of ancient Greece, we do bear witness to the Gospel in a culture that can be just as indifferent, complacent, or hostile to hearing the Word of God as was sometimes the case in ancient Greece. Christ and Culture is balanced with New Testament encounters, exquisite cuisine, and cultural experiences.
