Pilgrimages
Serving the Lord with Joy!
Sign Up for a Pilgrimage!
YOU’RE INVITED!
A pilgrimage is traditionally a journey to a holy place — a place where saints have walked, a place where God has met people and blessed them. We believe that through your visit to our villages you are on holy ground. Be blessed and remain open to all that God has prepared for you.
We invite you to come and see for yourself the life-changing work of helping children break free from a life of poverty!
Pilgrimage and retreat offerings
Jesus says to His disciples, “Come and see” (John 1:39) and we encourage the same sense of seeking…come and find rest, reflection, service, and inspiration.
