JOIN US AS WE RETRACE THE STEPS
OF THE FIRST GREAT AWAKENING!
ONE EXPERIENCE -ENDLESS SIGNIFICANCE
FALL SCENES FROM WHERE WILL BE VISITING
Throughout Colonial America, voices like Jonathan Edwards and David Brainerd, and places like Ipswich and Harvard were impacted by God in powerful ways. As a result, the spiritual foundation to the Declaration of Independence was established. America exists because revival swept the colonies. We will trace the steps of George Whitefield, including Old South Church where he is buried beneath the pulpit. And we will have lined up some of the most remarkable tour guides you can imagine.
