Destined for Pilgrimage

Pilgrimage is not for the faint hearted. When you step out your front door, suitcase in one hand and tickets in the other, you know your destination. You know where you're headed. But you don't know what will happen on the way!

As soon as you go out the front grate of your safety zone, there will be dangers and pitfalls. But you are in the hands of God. He will be your guide and your guard. He will keep you sake, and if you fall, he will pick you up.

Be prepared to learn what it is that God is asking of you.

Be prepared for a full-strength dose of life!

Be prepared to have your horizons strectched, your boundaries exploded!

Be prepared for a personal encounter with the one who said: "Iam the truth."

Be prepared to come face to face with love incarnate.

Remember that you are predestined to be God's child for ever. The whole purpose of your pilgrimage from the start to the end of your life is that you become more and more like his Son Jesus and more and more conformed to his love.


YOU ARE DESTINED for PILGRIMAGE!
