Why BibleTelling?
BibleTelling Seminars in Turkey-Greece-Rome include several distinctions:
- Seminar participants learn and tell ~50 Bible stories on ~20 sites where they occurred (each participant learns and shares 2+ Bible stories during the tour). Pre-Seminar BibleTelling training will cover how to learn and share stories without memorization.
- Expert commentary on the Biblical significance of each Bible story and site–including a discussion with Dr. Baris Yener head of excavations just beginning at Colossae
- Each Seminar participant will receive a beautiful, full-color, 90-page, Footsteps of Paul 2025 BibleTelling Seminar Guide with a calendar of events, a daily itinerary (travel stops, titles of the stories to be told), travel maps, Bible study aids, charts, photos, maps, genealogies, and more. See the 2023 Seminar booklet here.
