Last we updated you on our journey, we were about to leave Kathmandu for Pokhara. We all arrived safely in Pokhara on Monday to the view of a beautiful lake, surrounded by mountains. The pace is less frenetic and it is much less crowded, the air is cleaner and it...

It’s a new era for Coracle. Our little boat is growing. For years, our staff has been made up of people who give part of their time to Coracle and part of their time to other professional roles. It was a great beginning and that structure served us very well. ...

Recently I returned with Heather Strube from Southeast Asia having done a strange mission trip with Coracle: offering spiritual direction and formation in a far off land with those bringing Jesus in even farther off lands! That doesn’t happen without some context....

“SOOOO… How was the CAMINO??” When I have been posed this question over the last few weeks since I’ve been back, I allow myself a long pause before responding. There is so much to say, so much I could relate about all that God did while walking 70 miles with 5 other...

by: Katie Kallam Going into my pilgrimage to the Holy Land, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I knew that I would encounter holy places, sites where Jesus walked, where he lived and died, but I knew very little about the modern Israeli/Palestinian conflict. I...
