"(The Holy Spirit) pours into us the vitality of life, which is not the absence of problems, but the certainty of being loved and always forgiven by Christ, who for us has conquered sin, death and fear. Today is the celebration of our hope, the celebration of this truth: nothing and no one will ever be able to separate us from his love"

POPE FRANCIS, EASTER MESSAGE 2016

Testimonials

What previous attendees are saying

The Light to the Nations Easter pilgrimages run by The Disciples of Jesus Community are truly amazing experiences to be a part of. They engage and uplift people of all ages to 'make disciples of all nations'. They've certainly helped me to know, worship and love God better. I highly recommend them!

Martin, Wollongong

LTTN made me realise how much the Church is alive, moreover how overwhelming it is that Christ rose from the dead to give us new life.

Marilyn, Wollongong

A beautiful way to connect with the death and resurrection of Jesus, authentically experiencing both the humanity of Christ but also the supernatural movements of the Holy Spirit. The energy of the crowds of people helps me to connect emotionally to Jesus' suffering and His Love, really bringing alive something that had previously been quite two dimensional and distant.

Bridget, Wollongong

An incredible experience of the vast richness and vibrancy of the Church, the joy of Easter at its finest!

Lee, North Sydney

Light to the Nations has encouraged me to experience Easter more deeply, more sincerely, and more expressively, while surrounded by people who are passionate about what the holiday means, and who are passionate about my well-being.
