Jeremiahs Call Ministry (JCM) “From Darkness to Light: A Journey Through Biblical Greece”
Light came into the darkness at a great cost. The Gospel—delivered through perseverance, sacrifice, and unwavering faith—began to transform the ancient world, one soul at a time. Now, JCM Ministry invites you to journey to the ancient cities of Greece—places where those in darkness encountered the light of Christ. Walk in the footsteps of Paul, visiting the sites where he ministered and established churches, and discover how his mission continues to inspire and resonate in our world today.
Our tour also goes beyond visiting the cities highlighted in Paul’s letters; we also delve into ancient theaters, ports, temple ruins, Jewish quarters, synagogues, churches, and much more. Each day will give us an opportunity to reflect on the courage and sacrifices made by early Christians to bring the Gospel to the world, to engage in meaningful discussions about how their mission inspires our lives today, and to consider how we, too, can bring light into the darkness of our own time.
Along the way we enjoy the added benefit of being immersed in the beauty and culture of Greece: savorig authentic Greek cuisine and hospitality, exploring stunning landscapes that reflect God’s artistry, and worshipping and reflecting in awe-inspiring settings that connect past and present.
For JCM, this is more than a tour—it’s an experience that will challenge you to deepen your faith and live it out with great love, courage, and obedience. Through the lens of Paul’s ministry, in physical Greece, we’ll better grasp what it means to be bearers of the Gospel in a world that still needs its light.
Join JCM Ministry on this Biblical Tour and rediscover the power of faith to change the world—starting with you.
