Each year, we travel to one or more biblically significant parts of the world. We learn about, and walk in the footsteps of Jesus, the apostles, Old Testament heroes, and church leaders who have shaped the Christian world that we know today.
Among others, we've explored the countries of Israel, Turkey, Jordan and Italy, as well as many cities found in the book of Acts, the Epistles, and Revelation such as Ephesus, Rome, Patmos, Sardis and Laodicea. We've visited the ancient sites of Pompeii (Italy) and Petra (Jordan). The Biblical Study Tours also feature great fellowship with believers from all over the world, as well as teaching, insights and perspectives from Douglas and various experts who assist in leading these tours. Each tour is educational, inspirational & emotionally bonding! Many who have taken part in one tour are eager participants on another.
Here are the next few tours:
Antioch & Cyprus 2024
ANTIOCH (Antakya) is located along the Orontes River in modern-day Turkey. The city became a center for early Christianity, playing an important role in the ministry of the apostle Paul in the New Testament. It was at Antioch that followers of Jesus were first called “Christians” (Acts 11:26).
Syrian Antioch (actually in modern Turkey, not Syria) was the launching point for the First Missionary Journey (Acts 13). The city was largely destroyed in a earthquake and massive aftershocks earlier this year—but the ancient ruins remain. Our hotel, recently constructed and up to code, was undamaged.
Would you like to learn more? To follow in the steps of Paul and Barnabas on the First Missionary Journey? In addition to this main mobile seminar, there are also 5 pre- and post-tours! I am leading the pre-tour to Istanbul as well as the post-tour in Cappadocia. CLICK HERE, or use the QR code.

We hear a good deal of talk about doing what Jesus would do (WWJD?), but how about walking where Jesus walked? We would like to invite you to join the 2024 annual tour—as we return to Israel.
