Ruins along the Roman Road

What is Proclamation Expeditions? In brief, it is an opportunity for Christians to make a pilgrimage to the biblical land of the Apostle Paul. Paul was born in Tarsus in what is modern day Turkey. His first, second, and third proclamation journeys all took him through Turkey.

Paul and his companions embarked on their first journey from Antioch of Syria (now Antioch, Turkey) and  landed in Antalya on the Mediterranean coast. They proceeded north from Antalya along the Roman Road to Antioch Pisidia (not to be confused with the first Antioch). By the way, followers of Jesus were first called Christians in Antioch of Syria.

The route the Apostle Paul took in the first century AD has been restored as a walking trail and is now known as the Saint Paul Trail. Thousands of people have discovered this recently completed path and enjoy walking and talking with locals along the way.

We are just two American Christians who love Turkey and Turks. We think you will love them too. Let us introduce you to this amazing place and wonderful people.

St. Stephen's Greek Orthodox Church

St Stephen’s Greek Orthodox Church is an historic landmark on the small island of Yeşil Ada, in Egirdir, Turkey. Connected to the mainland by a causeway, the island was occupied by a small community of Greeks until the end of World War I.

In 1924 the island was abandoned when its residents returned to their homeland  of Greece.
