Our friends returned from yet another mission trip and stopped by today. This time they visited Turkey and Albania. They had stories to tell like always. But what fascinated me the most was the biblical history of the place. They met a man in Turkey who gave tours of the area including cities such as Ephesus, Tarsus, and Antioch. He said that Americans typically come to the sites with their own preconceived ideas of scripture. But the man and those who live there have a different perspective. Things that may not make sense to us, can make perfect sense to them as they are the culture to which it was written about or for. It was additional verification of the Bible and it’s message. I think it would be amazing to be there and hear another viewpoint of the scripture stories.
I Found God today in my missionary friends.
