GTI SIGNATURE TOUR

Sep 11-21, 2022

Experience Turkey on a GTI Signature Study Tour and you'll see Scripture in a new light.

What to Expect

This trip will enrich your understanding of the Scriptures by introducing you to the vivid context in which the New Testament was written.

Done right, a study tour can be relaxing and fun! Together with Rich Ferreira and Rich Liverance, we'll explore the past and present of Turkey. Each day we'll unpack what we've learned in the context of biblical history as well as our daily faith.

In addition to visiting the ancients cities where the Apostle Paul lived and taught, we'll also enjoy some amazing local hospitality.
