An adventure awaits you in Spain!

Life with Jesus is about the journey.

As women we spend our lives loving others and caring for their needs. If we are not careful, before we know it, we will lose touch with the greatest possible mission field — our own hearts.

Ministry doesn’t begin and end in the Church pew on Sunday; it should be a way of life and church planting should be a natural outpouring of our heart. On your journey you will be guided in discovering the Father’s voice for yourself and you will find the joy in praying for the locals as you build friendships that will last a lifetime.

Each day will begin in prayer. We’ll spend our mornings asking the Lord to guide us to those who might need us to cross their path.  We will spend our days praying over the communities we come in contact with, and in the evening we will gather to debrief and celebrate all that the Father has done in us and for us.

You will be forever changed by seeing the hand of God move on a daily basis with you and your new sisters!

The El Camino Santiago: The Way of St. James is journey about slowing down, intentionally engaging in conversation and taking each moment with reflection and purpose.

Experience discipleship using the ancient tradition of pilgrimage, building relationships along the way.  Get outside of your limits and walk a path where thousands have walked before. Gather with women and talk about what real community and life looks like. What does it mean to be a woman in today’s society and actively seek the Lord?

During this 7-day trek, you will learn to find your strength in God and to focus on true discipleship in community.

Your team will journey the last portion of the French Way, an historic Spanish pilgrimage traversed by thousands. Hike over 60 miles of scenic beauty and cultural wonder to gain the Compostela de Santiago, the official passport stamp of the pilgrimage.

We will fly into Santiago, Spain on September 1, and begin our journey the following day. Each night we will be staying in a local Bed and Breakfast, in the morning we will gather, pray, pack our lunch, while luggage will be transferred onward to our next location. Upon arrival in each new village there will be time to explore, rest, debrief our day and find the perfect dinner spot.  

The itinerary is as follows:

• Sep 1: Private transfer from Santiago Airport to Sarria accommodation departing at 6pm and overnight in Sarria
• Sep 2: Journey to Portomarin, 22 km
• Sep 3: Journey to Palas de Rei, 24 km
• Sep 4: Journey to Arzua, 28 km
• Sep 5: Journey to Rua, 19 km
• Sep 6: Journey to Santiago de Compostela, 20 km
• Sep 7: Additional night in Santiago – Attend Midday Pilgrims Mass at Cathedral
• Sep 8: End of trip

All along the trail, you’ll experience unique, spontaneous ministry opportunities as you grow close to other hikers and speak into their lives. Seek and find where God is growing you when you find you have nothing more to depend on but Him, and grow with like-minded travelers searching together for a deeper faith.

*Note: Due to the nature of this journey and each woman finishing their day in different intervals, dinner is not included in the trip cost and will need to be paid for separately.

All women must be 21 or older at time of trip.*
