PROPOSED INTERCESSORY TOUR TO GREECE AND ISRAEL

The Greek mindset dominates Western thinking today and is a major stronghold captivating the minds of Western Christianity and stopping us from understanding the biblical world of Hebrew thought and following Jesus the Jewish Messiah.  From the Greeks, we received the exultation of philosophy (the mind), entertainment (the soul), sport (the body), individuality, multi-culturalism, knowledge and much that has led us away from biblical absolutes and values. Democracy was also born in Greece.

Our next intercessory tour will go to Greece to begin to unlock these roots and continue our task of re-grafting ourselves, the church and our nation back to the true biblical olive tree.

As the plans are for NEXT year, the details are not finalized yet, but a proposed itinerary could include:

Greece

Athens – (Mars Hill. Agora, Acropolis, Acropolis museum, Parthenon, Temple of Olympian Zeus), Corinth – (Canal, Ancient city and museum), Mt Olympus, Meteora (Byzantine monasteries and stunning scenery), Berea (Synagogue, Bema, Mosaic of Paul), Thessalonica (Harbour, Old city, Citadel, Walls), Philippi (where Paul baptized Lydia – Acropolis, market, theatre, jail where Paul and Silas were held), Kavala (biblical Neapolis – harbor where Paul landed).  We may even manage a ferry trip to one of the closer islands around Athens.

Israel

The Bible will come alive as you walk where Jesus walked and see the physical setting of the Bible. We always visit pastors (the Living stones) around the nation and distribute JPF funds to them as we tour the major sites. A highlight will be the 95th anniversary of the Light horse Charge at  Beersheva on Oct 31st, 2012.
