Follow in Paul's final footsteps this May 20–31, 2017  For the first time ever, Tutku Tours has arranged a pilgrimage to follow in Paul's final footsteps—literally! Next spring, join Dr. Mark Wilson and Dr. Meg Ramey for an unforgettable experience in Turkey on Paul's Walk From Troas To Assos!
Over the course of Paul's three missionary journeys, he walked approximately 10,000 miles across the eastern Roman Empire sharing the good news of Jesus as he went. His very last walk of these missionary journeys took place on the Troad peninsula in the mid-'60s A.D. while he was traveling back to Jerusalem. Knowing that trouble awaited him there (cf. Acts 20:22–24), Paul left his traveling companions to sail around the coast without him while he walked the Roman road from Alexandria Troas to Assos, presumably alone (cf. Acts 20:13–14). The 30-mile walk and the two days that it likely took him to travel would have given him ample time for meditation as he reflected on his life and ministry thus far.  On this breathtaking tour with leading experts, we will spend three days retracing Paul's route from Alexandria Troas—walking beside the beautiful turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea, following the ancient sacred way leading to the Smintheum, Apollo's Temple, and meandering over the pastoral hills and farmland of the Troad—until we arrive at the ancient acropolis and harbor of Assos, one of the most beautiful spots in all of Anatolia.
The trip will include tours at Ephesus, where Paul visited twice (Acts 18:18–21; 19:1–20:1) and to whose inhabitants he addressed his famous epistle Ephesians; the church at Pergamum that the Apostle John both affirmed and chastised (Rev. 2:12–17); and an afternoon ferry to the Greek island of Mytilene. Let Dr. Mark Wilson, Director of the Asia Minor Research Center in Antalya, Turkey, and Dr. Meg Ramey, Associate Professor of Biblical Studies at Messiah College in Grantham, PA, be your guides on this amazing journey. Whether you're a lover of nature, history or the Apostle Paul, or if you're in need of time for reflecting on life and the spiritual rejuvenation that hiking and meditating can provide, we invite you to walk this sacred way with us!
