September 2025 · Zion
Theme: Power of Prayer & Miracles | Ephesians 6:10-11
8 pilgrims · 5 days · Sept. 2025
Prayer is not a last resort. It is the first weapon.
It is the posture of a warrior. The breath of a pilgrim. The quiet act that moves mountains. Sometimes the ones inside us more than the ones beneath our feet.
Our September 2025 pilgrimage to Zion was an invitation to go deeper. To stop asking God to bless our plans and start asking Him what His plans were. To armor up, step out, and walk forward in faith.
Armored Up and Moving Forward
Eight women came to Zion carrying different burdens. Different prayers. Different places where they had been waiting on God for what felt like too long.
But they came. And that act of showing up, of taking up their cross and following, was itself a miracle.
We opened God's Word together in some of the most breathtaking places on earth. Around canyon ledges. On red rock overlooks. In the quiet of the early morning before the trails filled with other footsteps.
Ephesians 6 calls us to put on the full armor of God, not to sit in safety but to stand firm and move forward. That is exactly what these women did. Step by step. Trail by trail. Prayer by prayer.
Eight women arrived as pilgrims. They left as warriors.
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes."
— Ephesians 6:10-11
More Than a Hike
Our days were built around a rhythm that honored both body and soul.
A typical day flowed like this: Sunrise worship · God's Word on the trail · Reflection and prayer · Dinner together · Evening testimony
But God showed up in the moments between.
A woman journaling on a canyon ledge, pen moving faster than she expected because God was speaking. A circle of pilgrims seated on red rock high above the valley floor, studying scripture with the canyon walls as their cathedral.
1 Kings 19 reminded us that Elijah ran to the wilderness exhausted and depleted and God met him there with food, water and a still small voice. He does the same today.
Hebrews 11 reminded us that the great cloud of witnesses moved forward without seeing the full picture and God counted it as faith.
These women walked in that same faith. Through narrow canyon walls. Up steep switchbacks. Into the unknown. And God met every single one of them exactly where they were.
Eight women. Armored up. Moving forward. Never alone.
