Have you ever been on a spiritual pilgrimage?
For sure, our life in Christ is our most significant pilgrimage.
But, in our lifetime we also have opportunity to go on pilgrimage to sights of holy significance. LTI has hosted several over the years…to Greece (in the footsteps of Paul), Italy (in the hometowns of the saints), and the UK (in the highlands of Celtic spirituality).
In October we head to Germany, France and Switzerland…in the footsteps of the 16th C. Reformers, such as Luther and Calvin, as well as the remarkable mid-20th Century Reformer, Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
Why a Reformation pilgrimage? Mostly because the Protestant Reformation was a massive turning point for the Church. It’s important we brush up on the history of the movement we embody today, which began by courageous movement-makers hundreds of years ago. They stood up for 5 essential solas or tenants of our faith: Christians are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, as revealed in Scripture alone, to the glory of God alone.
And they brought to the forefront of the Church a revolution that heightened awareness of a relational God and harnessed believers for active service worldwide.
I could go on and on about the spiritual and relational significance of spiritual pilgrimage…Ruth and I have thoroughly enjoyed these experiences with partners of LTI. On pilgrimage you make new friends. You travel and eat, pray and share, learn and grow together as you visit beautiful sights in a once in a lifetime experience together. This year we will be in Germany, France, and Switzerland- three gorgeous European countries.
Join us October 1-11, 2025. You will be blessed and renewed by the story of the Reformation of the Church and God’s invitation for ongoing re-formation and re-alignment of our own souls as we are continuously and humbly transformed for his glory by his glorious gospel of goodness and grace.
Let’s do pilgrimage together! Sign up today and secure your spot…space is limited.
On pilgrimage with you in Christ,
Steve
