Wayfarers
Location: Europe, France and Germany,
Program name: E3 Collective
Learn About Mission and Ministry in
THE POST-CHRISTIAN CONTEXT OF GERMANY
Bring your backpack, bedroll, bus ticket and Bible along for a journey into the post-Christian landscape of today’s church in Europe.
Join us from May 27 to June 6, 2023, on a pilgrimage through Germany, visiting old cities and new projects, getting to know people and communities, and exploring what it means to follow Jesus in a different context.
Through cross-cultural learning, travel, reflection, and group processing, we will explore the implications of today’s secular reality on faith, discipleship and mission in the West.
Wayfarers is a short-term, small group (of 6-8 participants), immersive learning and discipleship program designed to learn about mission and ministry in a post-Christian context. People interested in leadership, mission, or ministry and want to learn more about church in a secular context, are invited to apply and join us along the way.
