The Baptist World Alliance (BWA) continues its preparation for the 2014 Annual Gathering in Izmir, Turkey, from July 6-12. BWA Annual Gathering, normally held in July, brings together denominational leaders, pastors, theologians, seminary presidents, professors and interested Baptists from around the world for worship, fellowship, study and for decision meetings. The 2014 meetings will be held in western Turkey, a region of significance to early Christianity, referred to in the New Testament as Asia or Asia Minor. Izmir is biblical Smyrna, one of seven churches to which the book of Revelation was addressed. |

The Annual Gathering will include tours to the ruins of Ephesus as well as stories of Christian witness and history in Turkey, a country with a long, ancient and rich heritage. After the gathering ends, participants will have opportunity to visit a number of other biblical sites. There will be options to undertake a 3-day, 6-day or 7-day tour organized by Dehoney Travel. Registration and other information for the Annual Gathering are available at www.bwanet.org. Baptist World Alliance® |
