"Old Ports, New Destinations: Conversations about the Future of Adventist Faith"

 

 

Bill Knott, editor of Adventist Review and Adventist World, invites you as a faithful supporter to join him on an exclusive six-day cruise in a 10-days journey along the Mediterranean coasts of Greece and Turkey.  You won’t want to miss this unique opportunity to set sail on a yacht secured just for our group.

 

Spend time with Bill and Debby, his wife, Claude Richli, his associate publisher, and Sylvain Romain, our Adventist specialist on Turkey.  Discover this magnificent region, so rich with biblical imagery, and get a peek behind the scenes of the Adventist Review and Adventist World ministry in an intimate setting (no more than 36 participants).

 

Our comfortable yacht will bring you to unspoiled spots, far off the beaten path. Experienced guides will give you the “inside” story and show you what regular visitors overlook.

 

Journey where John and Paul sailed and walked, rejoiced and cried, sang and prayed. Feel Paul’s excitement on reaching Ephesus, the center of ancient civilization, and John’s awe in Patmos. Face the challenge of those who, today, preach the Gospel among Muslims – and hear their experiences firsthand.
