Our last day was filled with biblical insights, as Acts 17 and the Book of 1st and 2nd Corinthians came to life in full color. We spent over three hours walking around the ancient city of Corinth with the Bible in hand. It’s amazing how the historical, geographical, and cultural realities shines...

This morning, we said goodbye to our friends in Turkey and set out to continue our journey in Greece. After landing in Athens, we made our way to one of the most famous places on earth, the Acropolis of Athens. On top of the Acropolis is the Parthenon, dedicated to the Greek goddess Athena....

Jet lag has a weird way of distorting time. Thinking back on this trip, it feels like it’s flying by, yet this morning feels like an eternity ago. Perhaps that’s the exhaustion talking—but it’s the good kind, as we had a fantastic day. It began in a basket around 6:40 a.m. with...
