A prayer pilgrimage is the act of praying in a significant location- a border between two countries.
This is a day-long experience where a group of 12-15 people will hear the stories of people who have crossed the border seeking refuge, as well as learn from the perspective of those who serve on the border.
This is not a political act, it is a spiritual practice that we believe impacts both us, and those we pray for.
We will understand more deeply, the import of the life-changing decisions made at this place, and we will pray for justice, safety, wisdom, and hope for those who oversee the border, as well as those who cross this border seeking refuge.

“I’m so grateful for the opportunity to have been part of such a meaningful day. Though it was just one day- the reflections, prayers, and moments shared continue to stir something deeper in me. It was a privilege to gather in that sacred space by the border with others to experience God’s heart for justice and welcome in such a tangible way.”
