You are invited to explore England, where picturesque landscapes,
ancient ruins, and aspiring cathedrals dramatically portray the
beauty and stark reality of God’s powerful design for nature and
mankind.
It is from this land across the ocean that our spiritual roots
of a nation and people have come. We'll see where the Pilgrims
sailed from in Plymouth, as well as exploring London, Bath, the
Cotswolds, Cornwall, Brighton and the Isle of Wight.
