Acts 17: 1 & 2 “Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews: And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures….”

Greetings in the Lord! We welcome you to join us in an exciting and spiritually fulfilling Pilgrim Journey to the biblical lands of Greece and Turkey!

We were richly blessed and enlightened when we went to Greece and Turkey for our sabbatical for a month of travelling and learning in May 2009. We learnt many precious lessons on the missionary journeys of the apostle Paul and the 7 Churches of Asia Minor mentioned in the book of Revelation. Upon our return, we received a number of requests to organise a similar pilgrim journey for brethren and friends for their spiritual benefit and edification.

We thank God for leading us to a reputable and experienced travel agent in Singapore who assisted in customizing the itinerary to our prayerful needs and requests. The 15-days Pilgrim Journey of fruitful and edifying visits, studies and understanding of biblical places and Church History will include:

· 5 days in Greece that covers Athens (stand on Mars Hill where the apostle Paul preached to the philosophers), Corinth ( where the apostle Paul went and you will get to see the bema mentioned in 2 Cor 5:10), Meteora, Berea, Thessalonica and Philippi (where Paul and Silas were jailed when God delivered them and Lydia was baptized).

· 8 days in Turkey that covers Ephesus, Smryna (also the place where Polycarp – John’s disciple - was martyred), Pergamos, Thyatira (the hometown of Lydia), Sardis, Philadelphia, Laodicea (understand why it was called lukewarm), possibly visit the island of Patmos (where John received the Revelation of God), historic Nicea and Istanbul.

· 1^st Sabbath Day morning worship in Greece and evening worship in Turkey.

· 2^nd Sabbath Day worship in a Reformed Church in Istanbul.

· Daily devotions and reflections, blessed time of fellowship and learning with notes and maps provided.

Do come and join us in this spiritual adventure and be richly challenged in the knowledge of the Word of God, enriched in deeper understanding and transformed in your walk with Christ. Please contact Angie or Rev Dr Jack Sin (email: maranatha.bpc@pacific.net.sg ) if you would like to register for the trip or need further information. The deadline for registration and a deposit of S$1000 is on 10 Aug 2010.

We look forward to having you to be part of this prayerful Pilgrim Journey in the Lord!

For God’s Glory and Edification of His People,
