A journey of discovery & celebration
After settling into accommodation in London we’ll start with three days of mission & festivals training. We'll also be visiting some sights in London looking at the likes of Wilberforce, the Wesleys, William Booth, Shaftsbury and others who showed their love for God and others through sacrificial service. We will then embark on 3 days of mission doing community festivals & youth work across the UK.
We will then have a day off before a further 3 days of mission in a new location.
After regrouping in Dunoon, Scotland, we’ll spend 5 days of Pilgrimage where we will explore Christian heroes of the past who helped bring Christianity to Britain and Europe. We’ll visit Iona, the birth place of Christianity in the UK to stand where the first Celtic monks brought Christianity to England. Then we will travel to Lindisfarne to see the sacrifices the early Christians made to bring their message of love and hope. Finally we’ll visit Durham to see how Christianity spread across the UK and gather together to share what the experience has meant for each of us.
A time to find yourself as you love and serve
 Throughout the Pilgrimage, we’ll be supporting people around the UK that are reaching out to their local communities through Open Crowd Festivals, youth cafes and more.
For some of the time we will split into smaller ‘mission teams’ and work in two or more communities across a six day period.
Overall you will receive significant training and mission experience in festival and youth outreach across several areas of the UK. It will be your chance to walk in the footsteps of the nation’s heroes and put yourself aside for the sake of others - returning home more equipped to bring hope and purpose to your own community.

a once in a lifetime chance to be part of...
The British Games Adventure!
|
A chance to walk in the footsteps of some of the heroes
of our faith. We'll spend a day in London with Wilberforce, Wesley,
Shaftesbury; then travel up to Iona to walk the pebbled beach where St
Columba began his ministry; we'll follow St Aidan to Lindisfarne and as
our journey ends, we'll embark on the pilgrimage of the rest of our
lives taking with us the treasures of our 12 days.
