AFTE’s First International Travel Experience a Huge Success

Twenty John Wesley Fellows, spouses, and friends were able to experience a trip of a lifetime. The travel itinerary centered on the celebration of the 1700th Anniversary of the Council of Nicaea.  It took place from May 17th to May 27th, coinciding with the celebration of the creed.  The travels were throughout Western Turkey, making stops in many of the seven cities of Revelation. The experience was extremely engaging, enlightening and life changing for many of the participants.  Everyone was tremendously grateful to AFTE for allowing this event to take place and look forward to future travel experiences!  Please see the photo library in addition to viewing the presentations that were given during the trip on our YouTube channel.
