Reason 3: Time to Plan For Being Away

Any trip requires preparations for being away. By booking early, pilgrims gain enough time to get everything in order before their pilgrimage begins.

By booking early, you also have plenty of time to take care of various travel needs, like:

• Renewing your passport: It can take 8 to 11 weeks to process a passport.
• Refilling prescriptions: Some prescriptions are not immediately available, and pharmacists may need extra time to fill your order.
• Currency Exchanges:Glimmer Tours’ comprehensive travel package includes all your transportation, admission, meals, and tips. However, some travelers wish to have local currency on hand for souvenirs and other such expenses. It’s wise to exchange your currency at your local bank, where it’s typically less expensive than currency exchange kiosks at the airport.

Reason 4: Cement Your Commitment

The desire to embark on a pilgrimage is a divine inspiration! It is a calling to encounter God in a new and profound way.

Careful and long discernment is important with such a fantastic opportunity, but sometimes there is no other step than to just go for it! Like the Apostles, we could spend all our time mending our nets, but there comes a time to cast them into the deep and to follow Him.

What better way to answer the call and cement your commitment to travel than to book your pilgrimage early?

Reason 5: Opportunity to Deepen Your Faith

Whether you’re planning to go to the Holy Land or to Fatima and Lourdes, booking early provides time to intentionally prepare to receive all that God desires to give you during the pilgrimage.

• You will have more time to open your heart. You can prayerfully consider why God is calling you on a pilgrimage. You may want to reflect on these questions leading up to the pilgrimage:
  • What is my relationship with God like right now?
  • How might this pilgrimage deepen my relationship with Him?
  • What areas of my life need conversion?
  • Who do I need to pray for during this pilgrimage?

  There are plenty of practical reasons to book a pilgrimage early, but above all, it is an opportunity to begin your journey with God sooner. Join a Pilgrimage today to learn how God begins to change your life before you even set foot on the plane!
