In November I leave for Athens, Greece to teach a month-long session at the Athens International Bible Institute. I will be teaching three subjects - Homiletics, The Epistles of John and 1 & Timothy and Titus. This will be my second teaching tour with the school and I am again looking forward to it.
The last time we taught at the school we had students from Nigeria, Cameron, Ukraine, Greece and Bulgaria. There was truly an International flavor to the student body. I have no idea the nationality makeup of this year's class. 
There is a lot of Bible history around Athens and throughout Greece. The last time we were there we visited Mars Hill (photo to the right) and Corinth (photo below).
I hope to see some additional sights on this trip.Normally my wife Mary Alice (Mac) accompanies me on my teaching trips, but she will be staying at home this time. Traveling as much as we do on these long trips takes a toll on your body. Add to that an ever advancing age and it is really tiring. Mac has been a faithful companion and has gone well beyond what could be expected. She deserves to be able to sit this trip out.
I have been teaching the Book of Daniel to the Adults on Sunday mornings at the Pratville church for the Fall Quarter. It has been an enjoyable study for me and I hope it has also been enjoyable and educational for the church. I will not be able to finish the book before I leave.
When I return from Greece I will begin teaching the Book of Revelation to the young marrieds. I am very grateful for all these opportunities to teach.
