Kenneth Mills Tours
Just a little introduction…
My lovely wife and I met in Memphis at a friend's wedding. In 1980, we were married by Philip Slate at the Park Avenue Church of Christ building — the same place where we met. We are blessed with two precious daughters.
We like to get out to special events and trips. Many of our trips are to see family in northwest Arkansas and the Dallas-Fort Worth area. We typically plan a couple of trips to DFW and the Sherman, Texas, area each year to spend time with family and catch special events in the area.
In 1994, the little church for which I preached, Chastain Church of Christ, sent me on my first trip to Israel. Two years later I went back. On each trip my eyes were opened a little more. My last trip to Israel in 2017 was one I helped plan with my friend, Bible professor, and archaeologist, Dr. Dale W. Manor. Since then, we've had other tours including "Footsteps of Paul" in Greece with Dr. Manor. In 2020, COVID put a brake on things, but in the past year or two we've been able to tour: "Journey to Egypt," "7 Churches & Istanbul" in Turkey, and most recently "ISRAEL: From Dan to Be'er Sheva." Traveling to the lands of the Bible is a marvelous experience!
My life has been spent in two areas: ministry and advertising/graphic design. Today, I'm semi-retired. I say that because I still have some clients for whom I do graphic design work — along with working on tours.
Because of my love for travel, I began this company to pursue the tour business. However, we only do two or three tours a year. I can promise that when you travel with us you will have a wonderful, wonderful tour!
Alaska
A few years ago, our daughters (along with some other family members) sent us on a fantastic Alaskian cruise for our 35th wedding anniversary. We spent a lot of time on the bow of the ship marveling at our Father's wonderful creation!
Egypt
Egypt! Wow! What an ancient and fantastic civilization that plays an important role in today's world.
God's people have journeyed to Egypt throughout the centuries. Abraham moved to Egypt for a period of time because of a famine. Joseph wound up in Egypt after being sold into slavery. God's children lived there 400 years. God called Moses to return there and lead His people to the promised land. Jeremiah was taken by force to Egypt. Joseph and Mary fled to Egypt to escape Herod. Egypt has played an important role in the history of God's people.
I look forward to the day we return.
Israel
Kay and I, along with our daughters and Sophie, are at Beit Shean, one of my favorite places in Israel. Behind us is Tel Beit Shean, the Old Testament city where King Saul's body was hung on the city walls after his death. This photo is from our trip to Israel in 2017 with Dr. Dale W. Manor.
Greece
On our tour to Greece in 2019, one of the islands we visited was Mykonos. Kay and I are pictured with the harbor in the background. We traveled throughout this beautiful country and visited the cities the apostle Paul went to on his second missionary journey. It was a pleasure to have Dr. Dale W. Manor be the host on this "Footsteps of Paul" tour.
