ancient ruins {Philippi}

we went out of Thessaloniki to Northern Greece (super close to Turkey) last week.
we were working with a ministry called Operation Joshua (from Hellenic Ministries), distributing Greek and Turkish Bibles to the villages in Alexandroupoli.
on the way there, we decided to stop in Philippi.
we were able to get into the historical area for free (normally there's a fee), but we couldn't stay long.


on our way back to Thessaloniki, we stopped again.
again, the man let us into the historical site for free.
it was epic. :)


i read Philippians and it took on more meaning.
to walk where Paul walked and to read what he wrote to the Philippians, the people that LIVED there. 
it was so cool.
i wish you could have been there. :)

Team Greece! :D
