Your 'Journey' begins upon your arrival on campus at the Maranatha Fellowship. As you make your way through our main lobby doors you will check-in with our event host and then your journey will begin. The first step you will take after our entry doors will be officially out of 2022 and into a LIVE Jerusalem marketplace set around the time of Jesus’ betrayal. From there you’ll make your way into our main sanctuary to join in with the shouts of “Hosanna!” as the crowd will soon expect the arrival of the King! On the next leg of your 'Journey', you will join a small band of fellow travelers, setting out on foot for an incredible, live, interactive walk-through experience.
Your group, led by a first-century Jewish guide, will embark on a 7-day, (about 90 minutes in real figures) ‘Journey’ from the streets of Jerusalem, to the Last Supper with Jesus and His disciples. From there, take the path Jesus took from His betrayal, to the cross and eventually to the tomb. Along the way your family group will encounter a host of pivotal characters - radical revolutionaries, fellow travelers, local residents, Roman soldiers, Pharisees, and more.
Guests are encouraged to participate by interacting with characters, sharing stories, and helping with hands-on activities. Your 'Journey' will conclude with a thought-provoking scene outside the city walls with an empty tomb but still yet a promise of hope. Upon completing the Journey, guests are invited to hang around and to take an opportunity to reflect and to share their 'Journey' experience with other fellow travelers.
This event is open to the public, however a free ticket is required for entry. Everyone is invited to attend and encouraged to share the invitation with others.
