Happy People

T E S T I M O N I A L S

Many thanks to Jon for curating this extraordinary pilgrimage into church history and The Kingdom. Pilgrimage is something we do with our bodies. It's embodied discipleship unto Jesus in a foreign land. It's a faith journey where one humbles themselves as a sojourner and exposes oneself to risks, dangers, joys and blessings with epic travel. And in the process one is deeply formed, reformed and transformed. It was a gift!

Ireland is an awesome, perhaps enchanted, place. It truly is a "thin place" where God may be encountered in special ways. Taking the time to trace the themes of Patrick's life while examining my own set the table beautifully for experiencing God in a powerful way. I was given a real sense of historical foundation and belonging, and that is launching me forward in new and deeper ways. Unforgettable! I want to go again! 

~Gary, 2023

This experience is something I will remember for the rest of my life. I grew on this trip in my understanding of who I am, what I believe in and where I come from. Thank you to Jon and his "yes" to leading pilgrims. I would like to journey with him again someday!

This was a special, sacred experience and one of the best trips I’ve ever been on and would go back again.
