Cruising Alaska With In Touch Ministries and Dr. Charles Stanley

In two weeks and three days (but who's counting?), my husband and I will be setting sail on our first Christian cruise. Both of us have been on cruises in the past, but never a Christian-themed cruise. We were thrilled recently, when Templeton Tours invited us to join friends of In Touch Ministries on a 7-day Alaska cruise hosted by Dr. Charles Stanley. Ever since we were married, my husband and I have wanted to take an Alaska cruise, so this opportunity is truly a dream come true. Adding to my enthusiasm is the fact that I have long held Dr. Stanley in high regard for his teaching ministry which had a profound impact on me in my early days as a believer.

We are excitedly making preparations for what is sure to be an unforgettable Christian vacation adventure, sailing the Inside Passage of Alaska, featuring exotic wildlife and one of the most magnificent landscapes in the world. I will be keeping a journal of our travel experiences to share with you when we return, so stay tuned.

In the meantime, if you've always wanted to take a life changing trip that will ignite your Christian faith, enhance your Bible knowledge and strengthen your spiritual walk, here are a few resources:
