“Come and See” is repeated throughout the Bible, inviting people to experience what God is doing. ABM’s Pilgrimage program is an opportunity for ABM supporters to “come and see” what God is doing through their support of our partners. It is a chance to experience what it means to be church in a different culture and context.
“We will come back changed. Of that I am certain. But of course, that is the reason why you go on pilgrimage in the first place, to find the holy, stumble upon God in action, and be changed forever by the experience.”
– Canon Trevor Dennis

Earlier this year, the Anglican Board of Mission (ABM) hosted a pilgrimage to the Philippines - an experience that proved both eye-opening and deeply encouraging. What we encountered was not simply a series of projects or programs, but a living example of faith expressed through community transformation, practical action, and quiet confidence.
