 About
the company owners
Hi!
My name is Frank Drinkhouse and my wife Rowena and I are excited
about Christian Travel!
Like
many of you, I enjoy visiting Europe (I even met my wife Rowena
there!) and the history of these countries really fascinate me.
There's an amazing sense of the continuity of Christianity when
you sit in the calm of a Cathedral that took centuries to build
and has had worshippers for countless generations.
Our aim is to serve the Christian community with tours that show
the splendors of Europe, make Christian history come alive and enable
fellowship opportunities. As Christian Author and Professor Irving
Hexham comments "The legacy
of the Christian faith takes on immediacy and impact as you see
firsthand the places where believers through the centuries lived
and died, shaping our world with their faith."
On our tours, you’ll see places where heroes of the faith,
such as Luther, Zwingli, Calvin, Wesley etc lived and ministered.
They were ordinary men and women excited about an extraordinary
God, whose lives have impacted generations of believers.
As a family
we love to travel. We had the amazing privilege of spending several
years in a Turkish Village on the shore of the Aegean, just two
hours away from Ephesus. We could see the Greek Island of Cos from
our sunny balcony. Yes, it was gorgeous! Our extensive travels have
included working with Christian groups in England, Belgium, France,
Greece, Spain and Turkey. We’ve also enjoyed vacationing in
many of Europe and America’s most interesting and beautiful
places, such as the peaceful evocative Isle of Mull, the secluded
village of Hallstadt and Paris during Bastille Day.
Our extensive
experience in the travel business includes several years in Turkey,
where Frank was the Sales and Marketing Director with leading Turkish
companies, as well as designing and operating tours. We also operated
an international guest house in Turkey, with visitors from as far
afield as Korea, Albania, the USA and Sweden. Our hotel experience
also includes working with Sheraton, Best Western and Adam's Mark
Hotels in the United States.
We will be delighted
to introduce you to local Pastors on your tour, such as Pastor Wolff
at St. Nicholas’s Church in Leipzig (famous for the prayer
meetings that precipitated the fall of the Berlin Wall.) That’s
an amazing story by the way!
We are officially
endorsed by the German National Tourism Office, the Swiss Tourist
Office and the Visit Britain Britagent program. Due to our personal
relationships with tourism offices and city leaders, we are able
to ensure customized extras on our tours.
We are covered
