In summer 2014, almost 4 years to today, I completed the Camino Frances and Camino Fisterra pilgrimage. While it was an amazing experience, its real meaning did not come to me until I was able to connect my Camino pilgrimage with Scripture. I realized that as I was walking the Camino as a pilgrim, I was also walking in the way of truth. Motivated to spread the good news of the gospel, I decided to create this video. I have used scenes from the Camino as a backdrop to introduce God’s Word in this clip. It is my hope that as you “walk” the Camino in this video, you will become hopeful, energized, motivated, fulfilled, and inspired by Scripture.
Some facts about my pilgrimage:
- Camino duration: June 14 – August 1, 2014 (49 days)
- Main possessions: 1 backpack, 3 sets of clothes, 1 pair of walking boots, and 1 pair of sandals
- Camino routes and distance:
- 1. Camino Frances - St. Jean-Pied-de-Port, in the French Pyrenees, to Santiago de Compostela in Spain; 784 km (487 miles)
- 2. Camino Fisterra/Finisterre – Santiago de Compostela, Spain to Fisterra/Finisterre, Spain; 90.4 km (56 miles)
- Total Camino distance walked: 874 km (543 miles)

I pray that you, being rooted and firmly established in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the length and width, height and depth of God's love, and to know the Messiah's love that surpasses knowledge, so you may be filled with all the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:17-19, HCSB)
