The Journey is an interactive prayer experience based on a feature in European medieval cathedrals. The Journey was introduced in Europe and brought to America by Campus Crusade for Christ staff.
The basic premise is that you are on a pilgrimage with God to the center of a labyrinth and back out again. At each station, you encounter God concerning a different aspect of your life.
The setting should be quiet except for low background music. There should be partitions and wall coverings to simulate a path. Both white and black partitions have been used. Lighting should be soft.
Participants should have ample time to spend with God at each station. Some will spend more time than others. Tissue should be available throughout The Journey.
We bought most of our props for The Journey from garage sales, second-hand stores and clearance racks. We looked for wicker, wood, metal and ceramic type items with a used (old, medieval, antique) look.
We brought in color by adding knick-knacks such as small vases, butterflies, flower petals, feathers, etc. Design The Journey to best serve your audience by taking into consideration your location, room, age of attendees and availability of props, lighting, etc.
We had fifteen stations. You can have more or less depending how you design your Journey. Click on the three following files to download everything you need to create your own interactive prayer experience.
