People-to-People Pilgrimages

A mission pilgrimage is a transforming experience through which participants share themselves and receive God’s love in a new way. Participants take common steps of faith in walking with our partners, sharing their joys, understanding their challenges and experiencing their unique connection to our wider church.

Is your church considering a mission trip? Global Ministries’ People-to-People Pilgrimage program assists congregations in planning and preparing for life changing pilgrimage experiences.

A mission pilgrimage is a transforming experience through which participants share themselves and receive God’s love in new ways. Participants take common steps of faith in walking with international partners, sharing their joys, understanding their challenges and experiencing their unique connection to our wider church.

It is through the People-to-People Pilgrimage Program that your local church can connect with our partners and share with them their work and witness.

Through this program you can:

  • Draw on the expertise and guidance of our area offices in planning and preparing for your trip
  • Explore the various possibilities that would best match the gifts of the group
  • Receive reflection and orientation materials for the pilgrimage
  • Experience faith in new and exciting ways
“We did not come back the same people. Our eyes, ears, and hearts have been opened. My prayer for all of us is that we remain open, closely listening to God’s call and able to spread God’s love by loving in truth and action.” -Allison E.
“This trip has not been about getting our hands dirty.  This trip has been a deep cultural immersion of learning the history, struggle, and realities of our Guatemalan brothers and sisters.  This trip has been a time where we have asked ourselves hard questions, not seeking easy answers.” -Christy J.
“These past few days have been a total change for me. I’m extremely lucky to have been part of such an amazing mission trip, and it has changed my faith in God in ways that you could only understand if you have your own journey.” -Danielle L.
