Transform 2019 Greece - Backpacking Challenge

“Transform 2019 (www.om.org/transform) is a unified effort around the Mediterranean to create momentum for the gospel by mobilizing people and training them in telling their personal God story.” Following the Transform 2019 Conference, come join us on a 3-day, 200 kilometre prayer and backpacking trip.
