Welcome to the Sandhills Walk to Emmaus: A Transformative Journey of Faith and Fellowship

Welcome to the Sandhills Walk to Emmaus page, where spiritual journeys are ignited and lives are transformed. Our site is dedicated to sharing the profound experience of the Walk to Emmaus retreat, a three-day spiritual renewal program designed to strengthen your relationship with God and empower you to live a life of grace and purpose.


At Sandhills Walk to Emmaus, we believe in the power of community, prayer, and reflection to deepen faith and inspire personal growth. Whether you’re seeking spiritual renewal, guidance in your Christian walk, or simply a supportive community of believers, our program offers a welcoming and inclusive environment for individuals from all walks of life.


Explore our site to learn more about the Walk to Emmaus, upcoming retreat dates, testimonials from past participants, and how you can get involved. Join us on this transformative journey of faith, fellowship, and discovery as we walk together towards a deeper understanding of God’s love and purpose for our lives.

The Simon of Cyrene Project

The Simon of Cyrene Project is a giving initiative designed to remove financial barriers to the Emmaus Walk. Named after the man who helped carry the cross for Jesus, this project helps carry the cost of the Walk for future pilgrims and their sponsors.


Our goal is to reduce the cost to $100 per pilgrim, making it easier to invite and sponsor someone to experience the life-changing grace of Emmaus. In keeping with Matthew 6:1–2, all gifts are anonymous and confidential.


Thanks to an initial anonymous seed gift of $4,700, the cost for upcoming pilgrims is already guaranteed at $100. Your continued giving—and your prayers—will help ensure this blessing reaches many more.



If you feel led to support this ministry, donations may be mailed to:


Sandhills Emmaus
302 W. 32nd St.
Lumberton, NC 28358
(Memo: Simon of Cyrene)


Most importantly, please continue to pray for this project, our pilgrims, and our volunteers.
