Thank you for visiting our page

We invite you to join us on our trip to the Seven Churches of Revelation in 2025.

We invite you to join us on this special 8 day trip to visit the 7 churches addressed in the letters of Revelation 2 & 3 from 18th – 25th October 2025. Now a part of Turkey, the visit will give an insight into the way the early church grappled with persecution, and we will consider how Jesus’ words to them, given to John in his vision, might affect how we live as Christians in our current times. There will also be links with the missionary travels of St Paul who had deep associations with Ephesus, Colossae and the whole of this area. There is rich archaeology to discover alongside the biblical accounts, and our fellowship as we travel will offer us a shared experience which we will never forget. We will also share a holiday together and will be able to enjoy the sights, sounds, warmth and flavours of Western Turkey.

The brochure gives an outline of our trip and the booking form will explain the costs and other practical details. If you want to know more or have any particular questions, please get in touch through the contact details below.

The price of £1799 pp (based on 2 sharing) is detailed in the booking details and in the menu and includes all flights, accommodation in 4* hotels (including breakfast and evening meal), all entrance fees to sites we visit, the services of a knowledgable local guide and travel in a fully air conditioned coach. Each day you will be able to purchase lunch at cafes and restaurants we will visit en-route. We look forward to welcoming you on this very special trip

Paul & Linda Snell

About us

Rev Paul Snell is a United Reformed Minister who has served for 22 years in local churches and for 15 years as a hospital chaplain, including 5 years part time as an Evangelism Enabler and communications Officer for the South West Synod of the URC. He retired in December 2024 as County Ecumenical Officer for Churches Together in Devon. Linda is a retired practice nurse. We are parents to 3 children and Grandma and Gramps to 6 grandchildren. We live in mid Devon and are part of an active local parish church so have had wide ecumenical involvement including 15 years in a lively Baptist Church in Plymouth. We love travelling and spend time in our motorhome each year, travelling in the UK and Europe. We also love sharing places that we love, which are particularly linked with our Christian faith and have travelled to the Holy Land, leading pilgrimages since 1990. Paul spent 3 months on sabbatical there in 1993, researching and writing about reconciliation. Because of the sad situation of conflict since October 2023, we have been unable to return there at present but in October 2024, led a group trip to Greece – In the Steps of St Paul. We travel through the services of Maranatha Tours, a UK company with whom Paul has worked for over 33 years, and who have huge experience of living and travelling in the Middle East and beyond. We also use the land services of NET (Near East Travel), who have similar great experience and professionalism in all they provide.
