"If you are looking to increase understanding of 1st
century cultural/political/religious environments in Israel and Jordan,
this is a great tour. Dr. Weima and co-tour leader, Khalil Habbab, were
first-class in every way with caring consideration for the tour members,
years of experience, incredible depth of knowledge along with excellent
hotel and bus accommodations. This is a true ‘study’ tour that is packed with
in-depth learning experiences that are designed to strengthen one's faith as a
follower of Jesus. Weather can be hot (over 100° F in May), days can be
somewhat long (leaving the hotel at 7:30 am and arriving back at 5:30 pm), and there can be a fair amount of walking, but in the end it all is most worthwhile and rewarding. Highly recommended! Jim and Pat De Koekkoek (Central Point, OR).

"We were privileged to travel with Dr. Jeff Weima through Greece as we retraced Paul's 2nd and 3rd Missionary Journeys. The sites we visited included Thessaloniki, Phillipi, Corinth, Berea, Delphi, Athens, Ephesus, Patmos, Crete and more! These visits brought new meaning and understanding to the Biblical accounts of Paul's travels and ministry. Dr. Weima's teaching sessions at the historical sites during the day and at the hotel in the evenings were both informative and challenging and made us love Paul more. The springtime landscape was in full bloom which added to the already beautiful scenery. Also important was being able to travel with fellow Christians and we made many new friends. All aspects of this tour met or exceeded our expectations, and so we highly recommend Jeff's study tours!" Jim and Nancy Meyer (Grand Rapids, MI).
"If you are looking for a vacation that feeds both you body and your soul, you should sign up for 'Paul's Missionary Journeys in Greece" with Professor Jeffrey Weima. Every day Ellen and I woke up eager for more Greek cuisine and even more for Jeff's delicious serving from Acts. Greece is stunningly beautiful with snow capped peaks and fertile valleys. Not only did we experience Paul's 2nd Missionary Journey; but we also stopped at many other interesting historical sights and museums. The trip was topped off by a delightful 3-day cruise that allowed us to visit both ancient Ephesus and Patmos." Rev. Paul & Ellen Hoekstra (Grand Rapids, MI)
"I had the privilege to accompany a group led by Dr. Jeff Weima on a
Pauline Missionary tour of Greece during my sabbatical.
My main purpose was to get a better sense of the background of Paul’s ministry
and letters – which I certainly did – but this goal was supplemented by further
insights into the history of ancient Greece and beautiful scenery of the
mainland and islands. Following Paul’s chronological ministry in Acts 16-19, we
visited Neapolis, Philippi, Thessalonica, Berea, Athens, Corinth, and Ephesus
(in Turkey). I learned about the typical structures and layouts of these
ancient cities. Do you know what an acropolis, agora, and stoa are and how to
describe them? I learned about the religious and social structures of these
communities and how they influenced the new converts in the Greek world. Dr. Weima’s supplementary study sessions in the evenings were
extremely revealing and interesting. If you are looking for an adventurous and informative
trip that gives you insights into “the world to which Paul ministered and wrote
letters,” then I highly recommend this study tour!" Dr. Roger Severino (Brentwood, TN)

"I just returned from Paul’s Missionary Journeys in Greece. Dr. Jeff Weima is a wealth of information. I liked the way he related history and mythology to the Bible. I appreciated the study sessions we had at the various biblical and ancient sites. April is a wonderful month to visit Greece: the countryside was in full bloom; I especially loved the red poppies. It was a truly amazing tour: amazing sites, great tour guides, breath-taking narrow roads, wonderful Greek food, good accommodations, varied shopping, long days, informative lectures, perfect weather and tired feet. A huge thanks to Jeff for making my first group tour a memorable experience!" Barbara Mitchell (Bellflower, CA)
"I went on the 'Following in the Footsteps of Jesus: Israel & Jordan' tour and was very impressed with how well orchestrated this trip was planned (and I didn't have to do the planning)! We saw an amazing number of biblical and archaeological sights in a short amount of time. The local tour guide with a master's degree in political science was very knowledgeable of the sites and informative of current cultural and living conditions. The accommodations were luxurious! Dr. Weima's insights of the biblical passages have helped me understand my Bible better and in turn will help me teach and preach the Bible better. I highly recommend this tour!" Rev. Ken Krause (Big Rapids, MI).

"Kathy and I had the wonderful opportunity to tour Turkey and Greece with Dr Weima in January 2017. As we visited archaeological sites and talked about the lives of the people that lived in Biblical times, familiar words from scriptures came to life, and unfamiliar passages took on surprising meaning. We were joined on the tour by a large group of Seminary students. They made our study sessions and discussions especially interesting, and we made many new friends in our adventures together. We were in northern Turkey and northern Greece during a rare snow storm and had to adjust our travel plans for a few days. Yet we were well taken care of through the entire trip by Dr. Weima, our Turkish and Greek tour guides and bus drivers. Wonderful accommodations, delicious food, interactions with local Christians, and beautiful sights all made for a memorable trip. Back home, we continue to believe that we will forever read the New Testament with greater meaning." Kurt & Kathy Heidmann (Grand Rapids, MI)

"We began following the missionary journey of Paul at Philippi, where the apostle
first brought the gospel to Europe. Here Paul baptized Lydia and her
household, and for those of us of European descent this is a most significant
moment in our history because the gospel came to us beginning there.We then followed Paul’s steps throughout Greece: Amphipolis, Thessalonica, Berea, Vergina, Meteora, Delphi, Athens, Corinth and its port city of Cenchrea. Along the way we had too many marvelous
experiences to mention. We especially
enjoyed the wonderful city life of Athens, connecting with the local Greek people,
cruising among the beautiful islands on the Aegean Sea, and visiting the scene of Paul’s ministry in Ephesus.We loved Greece and highly recommend this inspirational tour. We
hope to join Jeff on another of his biblical tours soon! Rev. Larry and Sandy Slings (Holland, MI).

"The study tour led by Dr. Jeffrey Weima -- 'The Gospel Comes to Italy' -- was a delightful experience. We enjoyed our visit to the Vatican with its Sistine Chapel, St. Peter’s Square and the massive and beautiful St. Peter’s Cathedral with its many works of art, especially Michelangelo’s Pieta, the moving sculpture of Mary holding in her lap the body of Jesus. Other impressive monuments in Rome were the Colosseum, the Forum, the Church of St. Paul Outside the Wall, the Catacombs, the Altar of Peace, the Pantheon, and much more. We also enjoyed the scenic views along the Amalfi Coast and our visit to Pompeii with an opportunity to climb Mount Vesuvius to see its massive crater and take in the panoramic view over the valley and the Bay of Naples. Our visits to Assisi. Florence and Venice were also memorable. The evening study sessions by Dr. Jeffrey Weima on Paul the Missionary, Paul the Letter-writer, and Paul the Theologian were insightful and thought provoking, and the two Sunday worship services were inspiring and uplifting. We thoroughly enjoyed this trip and heartily recommend it to you." Pastor Laryn and Leta Zoerhof (Wheatfield, IN)

Touring Israel and Jordan by
“Following the Footsteps of Jesus” with Dr. Jeff Weima was a very special
experience for us. Jeff made us feel
comfortable and secure from start to finish. Each day of the tour seemed to
have its own balance of sight-seeing, learning, and opportunity for spiritual
growth. Dr. Weima’s insightful
presentations, whether on-site or at the end of the day at the hotel, always had a way of enhancing
what we were seeing or experiencing. The times we spent in worship under his
leadership were especially enriching. Once you have been there on a tour like
this, reading the Gospels is less like reading a book and more like knowing the Person
in whose footsteps you have walked. – Rev. Alvin & Carolyn Vander Griend (Lynden, WA)

"Carol and I very much enjoyed our first guided tour venture to Turkey and Greece. We were comforted by the travel staff greeting and guidance at our departure airport. The staff, hotels, menu, and connections were pleasant surprises. Our fellow traveling companions were a mix of students and adults. All were lively convivial traveling companions. We were gently shepherded by the guides and drivers who went out of their way to ensure our comfort and travel safety. Dr. Weima presented travel dialogue that connected the sites with biblical and historical significance. His teaching coupled with the trip guide were spiritually enlightening. I look forward to future travel adventures with Dr. Weima. Safety and comfort could not be improved at the very reasonable price of the trip. The spiritual insights were an unforgettable bonus. Thanks again Jeff! You lead a terrific team!" -- Paul and Carol Fairchild (Fairbanks, Alaska).
"I traveled with Dr. Jeff Weima in the spring of 2012 to Greece and Turkey. What I found delightful was the continual education regarding first century New Testament and ancient Greek history. We enjoyed daily teaching revealing the historical significance of the cities we visited. Dr. Weima was compassionate towards the group, and all our needs were met. Yet, he was also an ever enthusiastic teacher -- very knowledgeable and with a natural teaching style. My personal understanding of some
"My husband and I have traveled with Professor Jeff Weima on both his study tours--one to Greece and the other to Turkey and the Seven Churches of Revelation. The New Testament has taken on a whole new dimension for us thanks to these two biblical tours! We understand Paul, both the man and his letters, more thoroughly and the churches of the early church have come alive for us. Professor Weima is an outstanding teacher, scholar and a personable leader. Both tours are invaluable for a first hand knowledge of the New Testament in its rich and diverse context!" - Dr. Claude-Marie Baldwin-Vos and Dr. Kenneth Vos (Grand Rapids, MI).

"By the grace of God, we have had the opportunity of traveling with Professor/Reverend Jeff Weima on his two biblical study tours to both Greece and Turkey. We really enjoyed these trips with Jeff and traveling with a small group of enthusiastic Christian brothers and sisters. Not only did we see many impressive ancient sites and beautiful scenery along the way, we also came away with a much better understanding of the gospel that Paul worked so hard to bring to that part of the world. Jeff is not only an outstanding New Testament scholar, teacher, and preacher, he is also a very caring tour leader who always looks after his people. If you are thinking of doing a biblical study tour, you should definitely consider these trips led by Jeff Weima." - Wen & Roberta Cheng (Midland, MI)

"I have taken many trips, but none has been as challenging or as rewarding as the trip to Turkey with Jeff Weima. We were stimulated mentally by visiting numerous archeological sites, learning about their secular history from a knowledgeable Turkish guide. Jeff would then tell us how the lives of John or Paul or the early Christians intersected with that particular time frame and location. Our study sessions by Jeff were not only educational, but also inspirational. I came home feeling tired physically, but refreshed spiritually! Paul's letters and John's book of Revelation now mean more to me than ever before." (Barb Mengebier, Green Valley, Arizona)

"We continue to benefit from the insights we gained on the study tours to Greece (2006) and Turkey (2009). Jeff Weima is an enthusiastic teacher with a keen knowledge of the Apostle Paul and the early church. Listening to teachings about Paul and the churches the apostle established while we were on the site of those churches helped us experience that these were real people, living in a real place, and at a real time. Besides Jeff’s intense Biblical teaching, we had the advantage of local tour guides with broad knowledge of the countries in which we were traveling. From them we learned a great deal about the contemporary culture and customs. We believe these study tours made good use of the money and time we spent on them." - Ken & Phyllis Dornbush (Jenison, MI).

"My wife and I just returned from Jeff’s
tour of biblical sites in Turkey. What a
remarkable experience! Jeff and our
jovial Turkish tour guide explained the meaning of structures, statues, symbols
and more. Wherever possible we sat to
read the portions of Scripture that played out there. On many evenings we studied them
in depth
with Professor Weima. Thank-you, Jeff,
for your light-hearted, engaging teaching style and well-informed explanation of scripture! At
our closing evening someone shared how wise it was for pastors to go, and
preferably at a point in their ministry when the fruit of the trip could be
shared with their congregations. In fact
he encouraged us to return and recommend the trip to our church councils for our
pastors. I heartily endorse his
suggestion, with thanks to our congregation for their gift that will keep on
giving." -- Rev. Daryl and Alicia DeKlerk (First Christian
