Turkey Study Tour
Join us in May 2026 for a study tour in Turkey
Background:
In May 2023, 34 Riverview people joined us for our first-ever Bible study tour in Israel, and it was a transformational experience. We had a 2nd trip planned for October of this year, but with the ongoing conflict in Israel, we’ve decided to pivot. Our plan now is to bring 50+ Riv people on a study tour to Turkey (slide!) in May of 2026.
Why Turkey?
After the resurrection and ascension of Jesus, both the apostle Paul and the apostle John spent a high percentage of their time spreading the Gospel and planting churches in what was then Asia, which is now modern-day Turkey. That will be the trajectory of the trip: We’ll begin by following Paul’s footsteps through central Turkey and cities like Antioch, Pisidia, and Iconium. We’ll then work our way west to Ephesus, which is where will pick up the ministry of John as we visit the seven churches of Revelation.
The trip is scheduled for May 3 – 13, 2026.
The cost will not be finalized until we book our flights in June, but it’s likely to land just under $5000, which is all-inclusive:
– all transportation: air travel, ground transportation
– local guide
– entrance into all the sites
– all hotels
– all meals
Pastor James will be leading the trip along with other key leaders from Riv.
