Episode 23: Behind the Tour: ”Plymouth 400”

EPISODE 23:  Behind the Tour: "Plymouth 400"

SUMMARY 
On this week's episode Behind the Tour, host Aaron Cronk connects live with Dr. Marshall Foster, founder of the World History Institute, onsite at a gathering at the Forefathers Monument in Plymouth, Massachusetts.  Dr. Foster is in Plymouth celebrating Plymouth 400 - the 400th anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims.  The event was to have taken place last year but was postponed due to the pandemic.   

Since 1988, Marshall has led tours of America’s historic East Coast with American Christian Tours. He is now the Director of Christian Education with ACTS, training tour guides to lead over 10,000 students and families each year on the trip of a lifetime. He personally leads annual tours of the historic East Coast and Europe. 

Dr. Foster is in Plymouth with Kirk Cameron, who is kicking off the American Campfire Revival Tour: A Night of Revival Under the Stars (see link below).   Their goal is to awaken and mobilize the church in America to set “brushfires of freedom” and revivals in their backyards. 

Dr. Foster takes us on a quick tour of the Forefathers Monument – an 81-foot-tall granite structure – built in 1889, that provides a matrix for how to build a free society based upon the Biblical ideals and worldview of these early settlers. 

This is a live event and Dr. Foster had just a few minutes prior to the even to join us for the podcast.  There is some noise in the background. 

In the podcast we also put out an invitation for listeners to “join” our “Behind the Thanks” podcast. 

To participate, make a short voice recording of yourself sharing about that person, thing, or event you are thankful for.  Then email and attach it to us at behindthetour@acts-tours.com   We are hoping to include a number of these “Behind the Thanks” recordings in our podcast as we get closer to Thanksgiving.  Recording may be edited.  Not all recordings may be included.    Recordings should be submitted by the end of October 2021.
