Interview compilation/Liao Meihui

Come out after being called out for a long time! The KRC European Renaissance Culture Tour will finally take place in October this year!


This trip was carefully planned for two years by the "Kingdom Resources for Christ" (KRC). It is a holistic and in-depth tour that combines training, leisure, spiritual practice, fellowship, history, culture and art. It was led by a well-known person living in Boston. Painter Zhou Lanhui explained the combination of artistic creation and faith during the European Renaissance, and a professional travel expert from Taiwan led a tour of Milan, Venice, Florence and other places in Italy.


KRC founder Gao Lili will also accompany you. She said that the Renaissance represents the meaning of "rebirth," and this era is best known for its rekindled interest in classical culture after what Renaissance humanities scholars called the Dark Ages. The Italian Renaissance began in the north, concentrated in Florence, and then spread southward, having a particularly great impact on Rome. The Renaissance also influenced the religious reform, which broke the absolute authority of the church and the feudal system in the field of faith. Gao Lili said that by drawing on the past and reflecting on the present, she believes that this cultural journey of the Renaissance will definitely bring us new breakthroughs and touches in our hearts, beliefs, and thinking.

Painter Zhou Lanhui also said that a teacher who taught her painting in New York once said this in class: "Every time I go back to Italy to see paintings, it takes a long time to adjust before I can enter the next stage of painting." Indeed, Beautiful art can also be humbling while it elevates you. Our God is the source of creation. From the wonderful works of the Renaissance, one can't help but sigh: Could it be that God himself breathed on these masters? The important town of the Italian Renaissance is full of living aesthetic classrooms. If you can walk in them, you will definitely learn from each other! This trip is not an ordinary tourist shopping trip, but after going through it, I believe that I can fill my luggage with memories full of emotions! Do you want to enrich your life perspective? Are you looking forward to taking the most unforgettable in-depth Renaissance trip of your life with a group of friends who love Christianity and are proficient in history, art, culture, and travel?
