Journey | Autumn Encounter 2021 | Photos + Testimonies

“Journey has given me something to hang onto and look to when I'm struggling. It's a concrete reminder of the Lord's mercy, His love for me, and what He's leading me towards.”

“For me it didn’t even feel so much like I was being told what steps I need to take next but rather it shed light on certain aspects of this process that I had already been going through and I saw this as  confirmation that I am on the right track and it really is the Lord’s voice that I have been  following all this time …”

“…He brought me peace, answers to some prayers, and a reminder that He sees me and what I go through and loves me in the Journey retreat.”

“…it seemed like through this the Lord was assuring me that, with time, those  experiences or aspects of my life which right now seem kind of mysterious, confusing or  complicated will begin to make more sense. I guess it sometimes feels as if my life is a movie  and all I have seen so far is the trailer … but I will be shown as much as I need to know in order  to continue on this path that He has chosen for me.”

“…there weren’t just one or two particular highlights but rather the entire retreat was quite memorable overall.”

“…this Journey retreat seemed to be all and more than I had been hoping for…It directly addressed a lot of things in my heart and I found peace and comfort in seeing that the Lord had seen my desires and all that I'd been hoping of and trusting in Him for…He brought me peace, answers to some prayers, and a reminder that He sees me and what I go through and loves me in the Journey retreat.”

“One aspect I did not expect from the day was a spiritual healing I felt from deep recurring sins that have taken hold over me since before my spiritual conversion. He gently brought these up in adoration through Sister's very anointed spoken prayer. This time in prayer allowed me to finally see hope in overcoming these sins and to view my faults through a lens of healing and mercy. I truly feel a new sense of strength in Him and will be gripping this tightly through times of trial and tribulation.”
