Wonder Changes Everything!

I have been working with Wonder Voyage for well over a decade as youth minister, then a college minister, and now as an Episcopal priest and school chaplain.

Our Wonder Voyage experience in Cape Town, South Africa was a powerful encounter with God’s Spirit in and through the people, places, culture, and history of South Africa. We were fully immersed in the culture of the city while gaining personal insight into the past and present struggles and victories in the face of apartheid…
