Grow Your Ministry, Reconnect With Your Spouse, and Feed Your Family with Pilgrimage
If you’ve been called to be a Catholic Speaker, you have a lot on your plate. How can you balance the demands of ministry with the needs of your family? I’ll bet you’ve been wondering if it’s even possible.
You’re probably facing the all-too-common dilemma of time versus money? You know you need to be “out there” more often for your ministry to really make an impact, but it’s tough on your family while you’re away. They need you around, but they also need to be fed, clothed, and sheltered, which is all paid for by your being on the road. How can you spend less time away without sacrificing your family’s financial well being? Also, how can you reconnect and celebrate life with your spouse when you have six children living at home? (We have a video about that!)
Perhaps you’ve been looking for another stream of revenue; one that could make up for all the gigs you can’t get to. Maybe you’ve looked into online courses or virtual conferences, but paying someone to manage them sucked all the profit out of the venture, and doing it yourself is overwhelming.
When you leave a speaking gig, do you ever wish that you had a way to continue the relationship with the people there? How you could get some of them to continue to support your ministry long after a parish mission?
Organizing a pilgrimage is an outstanding way to address ALL these concerns!
A pilgrimage trip can help finance your ministry and feed your family. A pilgrimage trip might last 11-14 days, but it can often be so rewarding that it replaces your next 10 speaking engagements.
You can bring your spouse along, and we can introduce you to some Group Leaders who have found creative ways to care for large families while traveling abroad. (Want to see that video?)
Pilgrimage trips give your audience a logical next step in their faith journey, and it’s one that they can take with you. These personal connections will turn your audience into a promoting machine that will help propel your ministry.
“We are very grateful for all that was done to make our France pilgrimage a peaceful and fruitful journey. We felt very well taken care of and so did our pilgrims…Thanks to each of you for your part in supporting us and the group as we prepared for the trip, arrived, and made our way through the beautiful country of France.”
