🌅 Explore the Historic Faith & Legacy of Thessalonica! 🌅

Thessalonica, a city vibrant with both ancient and modern life, is one of the first places where Apostle Paul spread the message of Christianity in Europe. Founded in 315 BC and now the second-largest city in Greece, Thessalonica became a key location for early Christian teachings. Paul preached here around AD 50-51, and his letters to the Thessalonians, found in the New Testament, reflect his deep care for this community and their faith journey (1 & 2 Thessalonians).

Walking through Thessalonica today, you can visit the same places where early Christians gathered and explore significant historical sites like the Roman Agora, the Arch of Galerius, and the Rotunda. The city’s layered history, from its Roman origins through Byzantine and Ottoman eras, adds to its spiritual and cultural richness, making it a powerful place to deepen your faith and connect with the early Church. 🙏

🌅✨Journey Through Early Christian History in Thessalonica, Philippi & Kavala with Pr. Ingersoll’s Group!✨🌅

🌄 Philippi: This ancient city is a landmark for Christianity, where Paul preached his first European sermon. Paul, Silas, and Luke arrived here around AD 49-50, and Philippi became a central point for spreading the faith. Lydia, a local businesswoman, was the first person baptized on European soil, making her a key figure in early Christian history. You'll visit the Roman Theater, where early Christian gatherings took place, and see the probable site of the prison where Paul and Silas were held. Their miraculous escape, aided by God, led to the conversion of the jailer and strengthened the growing community (Acts 16:11-23). 🙌

🏛 Kavala (Ancient Neapolis): Arriving in the port city of Kavala, the site of Paul's landing on his missionary journey, we’ll explore where he first entered Europe. This charming coastal city, renamed Christoupolis ("City of Christ") in honor of its faith, became a Christian hub. You’ll witness the remnants of the Roman Aqueduct and the ancient Acropolis, which bear the influence of early Christian culture and history.

🍽 Lunch & Return to Thessalonica: After a day filled with exploration and reflection, lunch is provided before we return to Thessalonica for an evening of fellowship and rest at the Capsis Hotel. This day not only offers historical insights but brings us closer to the roots of faith that reshaped Europe!

How powerful is this reminder! Faith lets us glimpse beyond what we see, to the One who shaped the stars and galaxies by His word alone. Every mountain, river, and breath of wind speaks of a Creator who brought forth beauty from the unseen. 🙏💫

Today, let’s embrace this amazing truth: even when we can’t see the way, God is working wonders beyond our sight. Keep the faith and remember—our God is the Master of both the visible and the invisible. 💖
