Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; Luke 24:13:15

GIAEC Men’s Walk to Emmaus #191
From John Wakeman, Lay Director ([email protected])
The team that God brought together for Walk #191 is a wonderful team! It has sort of been a work in progress since last year with the Covid delay. But we are off and running. After our first meeting, I can see that God is ready to work through us.
Some of the team members I knew and have worked with, some I didn’t or haven’t. Some were pilgrims from Walk #190. So, we have a great balance of experience and those who will get to fully experience what the Walk to Emmaus can provide. They will see the spiritual growth of the pilgrims; and feel the privilege of serving in Jesus’ name.
Of the 15 talks, we have five first-time speakers. We are already seeing how we all are blending together into one complete talk on the weekend for the Lord to use on hearts and minds. Our verse for the Walk is 2 Peter 1:2 “May God give you more and more grace and peace as you grow in your knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord.”
We all look forward to God strengthening His Church and expanding His Kingdom through our efforts. We thank God for His hand on this Walk #191 and pray that He will be pleased, as He receives all the glory, honor and praise!

GIAEC Women’s Walk to Emmaus #192
From Kay Korty, Lay Director ([email protected])
Kay Korty, Northern Indiana Emmaus Walk 87A, Table of Martha
Little did I know when I went on my walk that it would have such a great influence on my life in the future! I went on the Walk reluctantly at my husband’s insistence… enjoyed the weekend as a chance to spend time with God, grow my faith, let go of some baggage and meet new friends…but I thought that was it! I was really in for a surprise! About a year later I was asked by my reunion group to work a walk and that’s when the whole impact of Emmaus really struck me. Thirty years later, as I prepare to serve on another team, I am still awe struck as I hear the amazing stories of God’s people, the path He has planned for them and the times He has walked with them through the storms of life!
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11
We have 40 women preparing to be servants on an amazing weekend. We would love to host 25 pilgrims and need the community’s prayers and participation by attending candlelight and closing. We also have openings for more pilgrims. Please prayerfully consider sponsoring a pilgrim and getting their applications in soon!
