“Sojourners Sanctuary is a living example of what I believe the Lord’s intent always was for His body - the Church.” ”

“Process Art at Sojourners Sanctuary was a powerful exercise and unlike anything I’ve ever done. The contrast of where I started with a jagged star and chaotic lines representing my current life state versus where God brought me back to a vision He gave me over 3 years ago was a wonderful reminder of what my
life looks like when I’m attempting to do it alone versus allowing God to lead me.””

“I loved the authenticity of the Gathering, that it’s Christ- centered. I love the layout– fellowship around an international meal, followed by Art Journaling which helped me feel safe to share my life with the women there. ”

“The Gatherings have been a great way to meet women - to have time to just breathe - time to create, time to reflect & reach out to God in a specific way.”

“The Gatherings gave me social connection while living in isolation and they helped me see what other women are experiencing and how I can pray for them and support them. It was a safe place to seek and find encouragement and prayer during a dark period of my life.”

“My friend invited me to the Gathering in the midst of one of the hardest seasons of my life. Through the Art Process I found myself in tears. I was surprisingly able to release some of the grief deep down inside me that had been locked up and I took communion for the first time in years - I believe my wounds from the Church are starting to heal. ”

“I feel God’s peace in this place.”

“Sojourners Sanctuary is a place where I met new friends and got to know other friends better. I loved the opportunity to slow down and reflect. I felt accepted and poured into by April and the other women. Honestly spending time there felt like a mini retreat!”
