CREATIVE JOURNEY

 

“Place everything you need for the week inside a backpack. We start walking as soon as we get off the airplane in Europe.”

Eleven young people and sponsors from Fourth Baptist Church of Plymouth, Minnesota, will be walking100km of the Camino Santiago starting this weekend. One of the great challenges will be living out of a backpack the entire trip. Another will be the reality of sore feet and aching bones as they traverse the Camino in Portugal and Spain.

Why would they choose such a journey? Walking the Camino Santiago is one of the ways Missionary Seth Grotzke and his family seek to evangelize. They join pilgrims on the trail and share the love of Christ as they walk alongside fellow travelers. That’s what the group from Minnesota will be doing as well.

Their purpose is to partake in evangelism and worldview training. They will also participate in worship with national believers who attend the church Grotzke’s are starting. This creative journey will help them grow in their own spiritual lives, increase their burden for world missions, and develop relationships with one another.

Please pray for the sore feet and aching bones. But more importantly pray that the personal and spiritual goals for this creative journey will be abundantly realized.
