Join this Unforgettable Christian Cruise to Alaska with Tommy Nelson and Denton Bible Church
God speaks to us in His Word and through His Works— through what He has spoken to us in His revealed Word, the Bible, and through what He has made, in the book of nature. As the psalmist says, “The heavens declare the glory of the Lord.” So what better way to spend a vacation than to combine them both!
With that in mind, I want to invite you to join me, my wife Teresa, and all of the friends of Denton Bible Church, for a wonderful time of Christian fellowship as we journey to Alaska aboard the ms Westerdam.
We will begin our seven-day trip in Seattle and journey through Alaska’s spectacular Explorer Route where we will view some of God’s most majestic creation. This website describes the historic sites and the magnificent scenery that we will see as we share these days together. Teresa and I hope you can join us.
We will be meeting each day for an insightful time of study in God’s Word as we focus on the key crisis points in the life of Christ. What were the pivotal moments in the life of our Lord as He submitted Himself to the perfect will of His Father? This was a path that would ultimately lead to His offering of Himself on the cross of Calvary for the sins of humanity.
I am also excited that we will have Denton Bible’s worship leader Kendall Lucas to lead us each day in a wonderful time of soul-enriching and God-honoring worship.
We are happy to be working again with Inspiration Cruises & Tours to plan this trip. Call their toll free number, 800 247 1899 for more information or visit our website at www.dentonbible.org. My wife and I look forward to seeing you in July.
Yours in Christ,
Tommy Nelson

CRUISING GLACIER BAY (July 10)
As Biosphere Reserve and UNESCO World Heritage Site, Glacier Bay National Park; protects a unique ecosystem of plants and animals living in concert with an ever-changing glacial landscape. How does it feel when a monumental chunk of ice splits off a glacier and crashes into the sea? The sound is like thunder. The impact shoots water hundreds of feet into the air. You hold your breath as you catch the moment on film. Then you wait for it all to happen again. And it does. Glacier Bay has more actively calving tidewater glaciers than anyplace else in the world.CRUISING GLACIER BAY (July 10)

For a more relaxed outing, visit Creek Street historical museum, see original Native American art in the many galleries or watch thousands of salmon as they leap up waterfalls on their annual upstream trek “home”!KETCHIKAN (July 12, 7:00 A.M.–1:00 P.M.)
