Cindi has taken another step in faith as President of The Priscilla Woman’s Tours for Women of Noble character, Faith, and Joy ~ Traveling together for Fellowship, Spiritual Enrichment and Friendship.
Women want to travel if they are single, widowed, divorced, have more time and interest to travel than their husbands or want to be part of this glorious calling of being a woman who seeks God with fellow sisters in their faith.
Patterned after the woman Priscilla from Acts 18; a woman who possessed spiritual strength, grace and love of God and her fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. Priscilla was involved in the business world as a tentmaker along side her husband Aquila and the Apostle Paul. She knew life in Rome, Greece and Turkey as she moved from place to place as the Lord directed this godly woman to follow Him. Priscilla gives us a fine example to follow today as modern woman who also want to go and explore, meet and experience the world in a comfortable atmosphere with other modern day Priscillas.
The tours offered will include special speakers, special entertainment, dramatic performances by professional actors, and much, much more. (These special features will be noted for each travel experience) Some of our travel experiences will be to places important to our faith, some will be to places important to our history as woman and country, and some will be for the shear joy of being a woman and traveling with other women.
Tours will be offered for you to join in the fun and opportunity of scheduled travel or we can organize and plan a custom tour for your organization for woman. We welcome you as a partner in this endeavor to open doors and pack our suitcases.
Please send us your thoughts on this travel opportunity, your tour suggestions, speaker and performer suggestions and your encouragement for this travel ministry and service.
Acts 18:2-3: There he (Paul) met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to see them, and because he was a tentmaker as they were, he stayed and worked with them.
Acts 18:18: Paul stayed on in Corinth for some time. Then he left the brothers and sailed for Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila.
Acts 18:26: He (Apollos) began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately.
Romans 16:3-4: Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus. They risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them.
1 Corinthians 16:19: The churches in the province of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house.
Priscilla, also known as Prisca, was one of the earliest known Christians who lived in Rome. Priscilla is a Roman diminutive, or nickname, for Prisca. The meaning of the name Priscilla is "Ancient."
According to Acts 18:2-3, Aquila and Priscilla were tentmakers, as Paul of Tarsus is said to have been. Priscilla and Aquila had been among the Jews expelled from Rome by the Roman Emperor Claudius in the year 49 as written by Suetonius. Priscilla and Aquila ended up in Corinth (Greece). Paul lived with Priscilla and Aquila for approximately 18 months. Then the couple started out to accompany Paul when he next went to Syria, but stopped at Ephesus (in modern Turkey).
In Acts 18:24-28, an important evangelist in Ephesus named Apollos is mentioned as one who "taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John. He began to speak boldly in the synagogue; but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained the Way of God to him more accurately." Priscilla and Aquila were among the earliest known teachers of Christian theology.
In 1 Corinthians 16:19, Paul passes on the greetings of Priscilla and Aquila to their friends in Corinth, indicating that the couple were in his company. Paul founded the church in Corinth; including their greetings implies that Priscilla and Aquila were also involved in the church's founding of that church. Since 1 Corinthians discusses a crisis deriving from a conflict between the followers of Apollos and the followers of Cephas (possibly the apostle Peter), it can be inferred that Apollos, a Jew from Alexandria, accompanied Priscilla and Aquila when they returned to Corinth. This happened before 54, when Claudius died and the expulsion was lifted.
In Romans 16:3-4, thought to have been written in 56 or 57, Paul sends his greetings to Priscilla and Aquila and notes that both of them "risked their necks" to save Paul's life.
