Sidika Kelly - Founder of Faithful Roads

Faithful Roads was born from a simple idea — that travel can be both spiritual and transformative.

It began when Sidika Kelly started organizing faith-inspired trips for fellow military spouses stationed overseas. These journeys weren’t just vacations — they became moments of discovery, friendship, and reflection. Walking through the ruins of Ephesus, attending Easter Mass at the House of Mary, and tasting local Aegean dishes together — travelers found a deeper connection to faith and history.

Those experiences sparked a calling. Sidika realized she wanted to create something lasting — a way to help others experience the same blend of awe, culture, and faith that had touched so many hearts.

Today, Faithful Roads is an American-based faith travel company that designs unforgettable tours through Turkey’s sacred lands. From the footsteps of Paul and John to the shimmering Aegean coast, each journey blends history, reflection, and authentic local hospitality.
