Dr. Matt Olson and Dr. Sam Horn invite you to join them as they follow Paul’s footsteps from March 20–31, 2010.
We are so excited to be able to tell you about a unique opportunity to tour Greece and Turkey this coming spring. Join Drs. Matt Olson and Sam Horn for this stirring trip from March 20–31, 2010. As pastors, church leaders, or believers who are passionate about the Word of God, this tour is designed as a powerful reminder that what began in Jerusalem spread throughout the world as ordinary people gave witness to the extra-ordinary message of the Gospel.
We have the distinct advantage of actually taking two separate trips for the price of one and would like to personally invite you to join us as we follow the missionary journeys of Paul as well as visit the sites of the seven churches written to by John in Revelation. Thanks to the hard work of the good people at Pilgrim Tours, we were able to procure an unusually low price for this entire trip of $2939. Roundtrip airfare from Chicago, daily breakfast and dinner, ten nights lodging at excellent hotels, and the comfort of an air conditioned deluxe motor coach are all part of this inclusive price. We have worked with Pilgrim Tours in the past and can assure you that they always put together stellar tours for our groups.
As pastors (both present and former), we both realize that some of the most valuable experiences the Lord ever arranged for us were the opportunities to visit the places where the events of Scripture took place. Somehow, seeing those sites and walking in those places made the biblical text come alive. A fellow traveler once observed that taking a trip to these places took his Bible from black and white to color and helped him see it in three dimensions rather than just two.
It is our burden as your guides to not merely see the sites but to dig in deep and bring historical, biblical events alive for you. We want every tour member (including ourselves) to come away with a renewal in our love for Christ, a deeper appreciation of how God used ordinary servants in the past, and the realization that He can use each of us—no matter how ordinary we may be.
We also want to let anyone—who is enrolled (or plans to be enrolled) in one of the programs of our Graduate School—know that this a unique opportunity to earn extra grad credits. To earn credit, there will be some additional reading but no additional cost. If you are interested in this opportunity, please call the Graduate School at 715.324.6900 ext. 3400.
The non-refundable $300 deposit for this trip is due to Pilgrim Tours by December 4, 2009. If you are interested, please follow the link below to read more about the specific itinerary and trip details . . . and pray. We pray that God will send us the right people and that this will be a trip that brings Him honor and glory.

Hope to see you soon,
Dr. Matt Olson and Dr. Sam Horn
