This year's conference (Oct. 13 to 21) will take place in northern Greece, for the first time.
It will feature educational visits to the biblical cities of Philippi, Amphipolis, Apollonia, Thessalonica and Berea, to Mount Olympus, the monasteries at Meteora, and to classical Greek and Roman sites of the area. As always, the conference will be enhanced by entertainment, Greek food and dancing, and by the endless beauty of the sea and the mountain terrain.
We hope that our conference gets better each year, while the costs are kept at the lowest possible level.
By way of a rough indication of price, a single individual would pay less than $700 for the entire package--which includes hotel lodging, breakfast, lunch or dinner, bus tours, a sea cruise, entrance to archaeological sites, and special snacks and dinners away from the hotel. The rates for couples and larger families will be proportionately less.
The Greek conference has traditionally placed emphasis on the missionary work of the apostle Paul. Participants in previous years focused their interest on Athens, Mars Hill, the Acropolis, Delphi and Corinth. Now they can complete the picture by visiting the cities in Paul's northern missionary journey.
If this combination of a traditional conference and a cultural and educational experience is of interest to you, please contact the Greek Office for details and an application form. They will be sent to you as soon as they are ready.
Please do not submit checks or reservation fees at this time. We can judge the amount of interest by the number of requests that come in and, in this way, ensure that we have more than the minimum number of participants for the prices we have negotiated. At the same time, an early inquiry will place your name on the list of interested participants.
