With this year’s H.O.P.E. Retreat behind us, we’re grateful for everyone who made it possible and who continues to support the mission of Journey to the Light Ministries.

​

Brennan founded Journey to the Light with a desire to help others find support, connection, and hope. Although he passed away before our first retreat, the mission he began continues through the people who believe in it and give so generously to carry it forward.

​

As his sister, seeing others care about something that meant so much to him is especially meaningful. I wish he were here to see it, and I’m grateful for everyone helping his vision reach others.

​

To our sponsors and donors, thank you. Your generosity allows us to offer the H.O.P.E. Retreat at no cost to participants and creates opportunities for rest, encouragement, and meaningful connection. Your support matters, and we hope you know how deeply it is appreciated.

​

To our volunteers, presenters, partners, and board members, thank you for the time, care, and heart you give to this mission. And to our participants, thank you for trusting us, sharing your stories, and becoming part of this community.

​

Our time together at this year’s retreat has ended, but the mission continues - and we’re already looking forward to welcoming everyone back.

​

Save the dates for next year’s H.O.P.E. Retreat: September 27–October 1, 2027!

​

Thank you for helping us carry Brennan’s vision forward and bring hope to others. 🤍
