Winter Emmaus Experience | Go Back

Dec 27-Jan 06
2012

TRIP OVERVIEW 

Our Emmaus Experience trips are designed for young people ages 17-25 and provide a rugged, intimate encounter with the land of the Bible.

The goal of these trips is for Christian young people encountering the realities of their faith to have a similar experience as the disciples on the road to Emmaus, who said, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he opened the Scriptures to us" (Luke 24:32).

Discover your faith where it all began!
