Why wilderness? Our passion is growth and we have found no better classroom for introducing people to change based on the truth of God's Word in their lives. We have found such things as group unity, problem solving and confidence to be additional by-products of an effective trip.

Every year God chooses to use the wilderness outfitting ministry of Pilgrimage to work in the lives of His people. The following are just a few words from trip participants and leaders that scratch the surface of what God did in their lives in the wilderness.

The following are varying glances at why we do what we do, including voices of others that have been involved in varying degrees. Feel free to add your voice to this chorus... email us with your article that answers the question... Why Wilderness?
