To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. In participating on a mission pilgrimage, a group embarks on a journey of faith and solidarity with our international ecumenical partners. Fortunately, modern day technology has made visiting other parts of the world much easier and less expensive. A mission pilgrimage is a transforming experience through which participants share themselves and God s love in a new way.
Participants take common steps of faith in embracing new people, places, and cultures.
In coordinating a mission pilgrimage, it is of utmost importance to remain both flexible and sensitive to the advice and availability of our partners. In solidarity, we will walk humbly toward the future of God s work through the lives, hopes, struggles and faith of people around the world. Have a brainstorming session on the goals for your mission pilgrimage. Make a tentative decision about possible dates of travel as well as the region or country of interest. Keep in mind that 8-10 is the ideal group size.
