What to Expect
You’re invited to join us on a 10 day, all-inclusive Turkey, Greece Study Tour.
You will be immersed in the land and lessons of the Bible as you’re led on a journey through Scripture while your local guide and driver will bring the past and present culture of Turkey and Greece alive to all your senses.
Unlike other Holy Land tours, this tour is solely focused on bringing Scripture to life through first-hand experiences in the places the stories actually happened. An all-inclusive trip ensures you're free to focus on each moment without worrying about lodging, tips, transportation, entrance fees, food or water.
What is a GTI Study Tour?
We’ve built into our study tours everything you need for an enjoyable and educational trip. We want you to be fully focused on the lessons and experiences you’ll encounter, and not be distracted by local tipping practices, transportation arrangements, or meal planning.
We believe that as a Study Tour participant you’re not a mere tourist—you’re an investment! This is evident from the moment you book your trip, through to the time you return home to share what you’ve learned with your friends and family.
Our seasoned guides and ministry partners do so much more than handle the details and keep things on schedule. Our local guides have personal experience and intimate knowledge of the places and events you’ll examine, and our ministry partner’s teachers have a shepherd’s heart and a passion for God’s word.
The guides have been so personable and so knowledgeable and so friendly. There's just never a bad day for these guys. They make you very comfortable throughout the trip.
— SteveWe got to walk the land and it made our bibles come alive, and my son being 17, he needed it to come alive. It solidified his foundation in his faith.
— JoeyGTI has done such a great job of taking care of everything... allowing us to feel at home and really focus on the things we needed to from the very beginning.

Executive Director of Ministries and Missions, Ada Bible Church
Stephen has been on staff at Ada Bible Church for over a decade, currently serving as the Executive Director of Ministries and Missions. Stephen holds a BA in Religion, an MDiv in Christian Ministry, and a PhD in World Religions. Throughout his ministry, he has had the privilege of traveling to more than 20 countries, exploring ancient religious sites and sacred landscapes firsthand. He also co-hosts the Beyond the Weekend Podcast. His passion is helping people follow Jesus and live with a newfound sense of purpose — and he wholeheartedly believes that certain experiences produce exponential spiritual growth. Few things interrupt the routine of life and refocus us on God quite like a biblical land trip. Stephen’s desire is that the Scriptures would come alive in a way that changes how people live — not just visiting where Paul and John ministered, but letting those places reshape how we read them. In his free time, Stephen enjoys reading, mountain biking, baseball, and cheering on the University of Michigan. He and his wife Jaclyn have two children.
Amelia Rhodes
Executive Director of Discipleship Resources, Ada Bible Church
Amelia has served in ministry for 20 years, currently as Executive Director of Discipleship Resources at Ada Bible Church. She holds a BA in Business and Communications and is pursuing an MA in Christian Studies. At Ada Bible, she writes for the Beyond the Weekend Devotional, co-hosts the Beyond the Weekend Podcast, develops Bible studies, and teaches courses designed to help people grow their faith in Jesus. She has traveled to Israel and Greece on previous study tours, and formative missions trips early in her faith shaped her love for learning in context. Her passion is helping people encounter the Bible as a real story—set in real places, among real people who faced cultural pressure and struggles much like we do. She believes that stepping into the world of Scripture builds deep trust in God's Word, and that trust shapes us into Christlikeness. You will never read the Bible the same way after walking where it happened—you'll never live the same either. In her free time, Amelia loves being on or near the water, kayaking, hunting for shells, and reading a good book. She and her husband Kedron have been married for 29 years and have two young adult children.
