Ephesus!

Written by Matt Lantz

Hello everyone! We had an absolutely beautiful day in Ephesus today. It started out with us being the only group in the entire park this morning - which is incredible! Normally Ephesus sees 3.5M visitors each year and is packed with people. Today, it was just us. So, we got to take our time through the city and take in both the story of Paul as well as the letter to Ephesus in Revelation. It was fantastic!

After visiting Ephesus, we enjoyed a lovely lunch at a Turkish textile business that showed us how handmade Turkish rugs are made. We loved seeing the process and some of us are excited about adding some to the decor of our homes.

It's hard to believe that tomorrow is our last day touring, but it is here already. We are so looking forward to seeing you all and relating what we have been learning here. We remain in good health and spirits - amazed that God makes it possible for us to be here. Thank you again for your prayers!
