Frequently asked questions about this itinerary

Logistics, pacing, and how to use Scripture readings during your trip.

Do we need to hit every city to make this meaningful?
No. Meaning comes from Scripture coherence. If logistics change, keep the Acts thread and adjust locations without losing the teaching arc.
How do we handle access restrictions to specific sites?
Treat geography as a backdrop. Prepare readings and teaching segments that do not depend on a single location being open.
Is this suitable for younger groups?
Yes, if you shorten teaching blocks and add interactive reflection. Keep travel fatigue in mind and avoid late-night stacking.
