Guidance from Overlooked Men and Women of the Bible
Verse written on a support post for a house being built last month in Houston as part of an effort to help people recover in the aftermath Hurricane Harvey. Cru students served the Houston area over a 4 week period of successive spring breaks by helping rebuild homes, replant gardens and reengage people in their faith.
For two years now, Dawn and I have led groups to walk the Camino de Santiago, a pilgrimage across Northern Spain. One of our friends who joined us last year recently published an article about her experience called When Walking With God Wrecks Your Feet. If you check it out you will get a real and meaningful view of what the Camino means to a modern-day pilgrim.
After reading her article you might think, “Wow, I’d love to walk the Camino!” If that’s the case, you can join us as we again go to Spain in September to experience this unique journey. We still have a few spots left. Send me a note and check out more info at: CruAdventures.com.
