My journey down ancient paths with Dr Charles Nienkirchen had a significant and lasting impact on my life, and particularly on my vocational journey. In searching for the early church, I discovered the connection between suffering and Christian hospitality. Vocationally, this has led me to explore the ways people engage in the activities of peace and community in post-conflict settings.

My adventures with Down Ancient Paths have been my most valuable educational experiences. Since my travels, the Bible has been brought to life in a way I could not have imagined before I ventured to these historic lands. We traveled with and studied under countless experts who expanded out minds and facilitated our personal transformation. There is definitely no better way to learn or to travel. I would recommend Down Ancient Paths to anyone.

My opportunity to visit the country of Turkey was one of the most formative experiences of my life. It encouraged me to re-read and reconsider the lives of first-century Christians and churches in a way that has deeply impacted my faith. It challenged my perception of the world of the New Testament, and as a result, has greatly influenced my academic life. It opened up to me parts of the world and parts of myself that I would not have discovered without the experience of travel.
