I wanted to take a moment and share an exciting opportunity with you!

I want to personally invite you to join me on a life-changing pilgrimage to Turkey and Greece, this October 1-12! We’ll follow in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul, diving deep into the rich history and spiritual significance of these incredible places. Together, we'll explore the stories and lessons that have shaped our faith.

Led by Cam Huxford, Dr. Tom Jones and myself, this trip promises to strengthen your connection to God's Word and create lasting memories with fellow believers. Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to walk where the Apostle Paul once walked!

We’ll also be holding an interest meeting on Wednesday, February 19 at 7 p.m. via Zoom. I’d love for you to join us!

Heavenly Father, we thank You for the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul and to journey through the lands where Your Word has shaped history. We pray for each person who feels called to join this pilgrimage, that You would open their hearts and minds to the lessons You have for them along the way. May this trip deepen their faith, strengthen their connection to You, and create lasting bonds with fellow believers. Guide us, Lord, as we explore these sacred places and may Your presence be felt every step of the way. In Jesus’ name, amen.
