Testimonials
What Our Participants Say
I have been overwhelmed by the love and friendships I’ve found through Emmaus. Its been a true blessing and turning point in my life. I see new purpose through discipleship in Christ and service to my fellow man. Since my initial walk in 2024 I’ve volunteered to assist with several other walks and they have only reinforced my initial impressions. This program is a great example of “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I with them.” I felt the riches of our Shepard’s grace through my fellow pilgrim’s love and I can’t wait until the next opportunity to serve alongside of them.
-Sean D.
Attending the Walk to Emmaus was a life-changing experience for me. It was during those few days that I truly felt the presence of God in a powerful and personal way. The retreat gave me all the tools I needed to grow deeper in my faith and walk boldly as a disciple of Christ. Through worship, fellowship, and powerful teaching, I was reminded of God’s love and my purpose in His Kingdom. I left the retreat not only renewed but equipped—with a heart ready to serve, a deeper understanding of grace, and a community to walk alongside me.
-Trisha L.
The retreat helped me step away from the busyness of life and refocus my heart on Jesus. It gave me the space and undivided attention I needed to grow my relationship with Christ. I learned to better prioritize my daily life so that faith stays at the center. Hearing powerful stories and testimonies from others inspired and encouraged me in my own walk. I formed meaningful connections with people who now feel like lifelong friends. This experience has motivated me to give back to my community. Now, I love volunteering at other walks so others can experience the same life-changing impact.
-Hilary M.
What I enjoyed most about Chrysalis was the family I found and the friendships I made. It was amazing to see youth growing closer and closer to God together. Stepping away from my phone gave me space to breathe and notice how different life feels when you’re truly present. I loved learning more about God while also enjoying the moment. The people there are some of the sweetest and most caring you’ll ever meet.
