Christian Expedition

11/06/2025

Our next journey takes us to Greece & Rome! Calvary Chapel Melbourne joined us for an exciting and faith-filled adventure, as we explored the sites of the Apostle Paul and ventured through Rome.

As seen in these photos, some of our travels on this expedition included exploring the ruins of the ancient city Philippi, Kavala and learning about its connection to the Apostle Paul and the early Christian community.

We boarded a wonderful cruise ship—also part of our expedition experience. We sailed through and explored Mykonos, Kusadasi, Ephesus, Patmos, Crete, Santorini, and completed our cruise in Athens. 

Our trip concluded with a few days in Rome, as we explored sites including the Colosseum and the The Mamertine Prison—believed to be the site of the imprisonments of both Peter and Paul.

Thank you for joining us on another incredible journey—deepening and broadening our Christian faith.

If you are interested in learning more about what Christian Expedition offers, please call (877) 234-3002 or email [email protected]. We look forward to journeying with you!

Today we remember the birth of William Booth on April 10, 1829, in Nottingham, England—a humble beginning for a man whose bold vision would change the face of modern missions. As founder of the Salvation Army, Booth championed a gospel lived out in word and deed, reaching the poor, the addicted, and the forgotten with the message of Christ’s love. His life calls us still today: to preach Christ fearlessly and serve others sacrificially.

In Nottingham, the William Booth Birthplace Museum offers a compelling introduction to his story. Visitors step inside the restored Georgian row house where Booth was born and explore period rooms filled with artifacts, personal items, and exhibits detailing the early influences on his ministry. Walking the nearby streets and churches, guests trace Booth’s journey from lay preacher to revivalist and reformer, encountering the roots of a ministry that would span continents.

In London, the imprint of Booth’s legacy is even more vivid. At the Salvation Army’s International Headquarters, interactive displays showcase the global movement sparked by his ministry. William Booth College in Denmark Hill serves as a living center for leadership and formation, while Abney Park Cemetery offers a quiet space for reflection at the Booths’ final resting place. Each location invites visitors to consider the power of gospel-centered compassion—and to be stirred by Booth’s unwavering dedication to “soup, soap, and salvation.”

Christian Expedition invites you to lead your church on a pilgrimage through the evangelical heritage of the United Kingdom. From the humble beginnings of William Booth in Nottingham, to the soaring sermons of Whitefield and Spurgeon, to the disciplined discipleship of the Wesleys, your group will encounter the bold faith and deep conviction that shaped our spiritual legacy. We’ll take care of every logistical detail—so you can focus on what matters most: deepening faith, strengthening community, and inspiring hearts.

Last month a group of pastors and other guests travelling with Christian Expedition returned from northwest Saudi Arabia, where they had been visiting sites that some believe are those referred to in the biblical narrative of the Exodus.

Our group was led by Pastor Lance Ralston, Founding Pastor and Pastor Emeritus of Calvary Chapel Oxnard in Oxnard, CA, and content creator at EnduringWord.com. Pastor Lance has been one of several people who in recent years have helped to advance the theory that the biblical Mount Sinai, along with other sites like Split Rock of Horeb, are located not in Egypt’s Sinai peninsula, as has been traditionally held, but that they are instead in the Saudi Arabian desert. We invite you to watch this documentary which documents a previous trip that Pastor Lance took to Saudi Arabia:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ib37S8Eluwk

On Thursday, January 30th, our group flew into Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. Since much of our travel was off-road, we were not able to utilize a motorcoach, as we do on most of our trips to other parts of the world. Instead, the group was divided into several 4x4 SUVs.

On our first day of touring, we visited geological formations in the desert, without direct biblical relevance. These included Ship Rock and the Secret Garden.

It was on the second day of touring that we began to experience sites that potentially possess significance to the biblical narrative. We saw Jethro’s Tombs – Nabatean Tombs that bear the name of Moses’ father-in-law, as well as Moses’ well, where it is believed that Moses met Zipporah. We saw what may have been the ruins of the Midianite settlement from the time of Jethro and Moses.

On our third day of touring we visited the area of Jabal Maqla, which may be the biblical Mount Sinai. Near the top, and barely visible from the mountain’s base, we saw a cave which may be the cave of Elijah. Nearby we saw an altar engraved with petroglyphs of cows.

On our fourth and final day of touring, we visited the Red Sea and saw what could be the Split Rock of Horeb.

Christian Expedition would like to express its thanks to those who participated in its inaugural trip to northwestern Saudi Arabia!!

✨ Journeying in the Footsteps of Moses – Our Unforgettable Saudi Arabia Expedition ✨

Today we are returning from an extraordinary adventure with our Pastors' Tour: In the Footsteps of Moses, exploring the rich biblical heritage of Saudi Arabia!

Our journey began in Tabuk, a historical hub on the ancient incense route. We stood in awe at Jethro’s Tombs and Moses’ Well, where tradition says Moses met Zipporah. The breathtaking Hisma Valley welcomed us with its towering rock formations like Ship Rock and the lush hidden oasis of the Secret Garden.

One of the most powerful moments was visiting Jabal Maqla, a site some believe to be the true Mount Sinai, its darkened peak standing as a testament to ancient events. The Split Rock of Moses, marked by signs of water erosion, brought the story of Exodus to life, reminding us of the miracles that sustained the Israelites.

From the altar of Moses to the potential crossing point of the Red Sea, each site deepened our connection to the stories of faith that continue to inspire us today.

On January 17, 1525, a key moment in the Protestant Reformation took place in Zurich, Switzerland: a public debate between Felix Manz, an early leader of the Anabaptist movement, and Swiss Reformer Ulrich Zwingli. The issue? Baptism. Manz and his followers challenged the practice of infant baptism, advocating for believer’s baptism as a conscious act of faith. This debate led to the start of the Anabaptist movement just days later.

This pivotal event highlights the courage of Reformers seeking to align faith with Scripture. Want to bring this history to life? Explore the sites of the Reformation on a transformative journey, including:

🕍 Zurich – Visit Grossmünster Church and the Anabaptist Cave
⛪ Geneva – Discover John Calvin’s legacy at St. Peter’s Cathedral
🏰 Wittenberg – Stand at the Castle Church where Luther posted his 95 Theses
