OUR MINISTRY
Who is God and what’s the purpose of my life?” These are the questions asked by many of the 150,000 pilgrims each year as they make their way to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. Some walk 15 miles a day for over 30 days. 90% of these pilgrims report walking the Camino de Santiago (the ancient pilgrimage trail) for spiritual reasons.
Sadly, most pilgrims on the Camino never get to process their pilgrimage or interact with others in a meaningful way about their questions of faith. International Teams has a team in Santiago with a passion for pilgrims. They understand the significance the end of the journey represents for the thousands of travellers. In Santiago, the team is laying the groundwork to help these spiritual seekers. The Pilgrim House Welcome Center will be a central gathering place where many travelers will encounter the love of Jesus. Staff members will engage them with questions, encourage conversation and reflection, and invite them to consider following Jesus. The PHWC will strategically create the right environment for the right conversation at the right time and in the right place.
