Come see and experience how the Gospel of Jesus began to expand all over the world and how this affects you today! How in the world did God use these ordinary, everyday disciples of Jesus to take the Gospel to the mighty Roman Empire and miraculously turn it upside down? Come experience Paul’s missionary journeys and step foot in the seven churches of Revelation as we see the context of the Bible…in context! This will be the experience of a lifetime and we hope you can join us.
