An adaptation of the Walk to Emmaus, The Heart of Ohio Face to Face Encounter is specifically crafted to meet the needs and life-stages of older adults. The program seeks to invite men and women, ages 60 and older, to experience Jesus through a 4-session journey, covering subjects such as discipleship, mission, grief, and end-of-life issues. The highly flexible schedule allows participants the freedom to engage in structured Bible study and prayer in a church setting or other community space. Led by clergy and lay leaders, Face to Face strengthens and renews followers of Christ and bolsters the spiritual life of individuals, families, and congregations everywhere. Face to Face is open to members of any Christian denomination who want to strengthen their spiritual lives, discover answers to their questions about faith, and are open to understanding the responsibility of living a Christian lifestyle.
Face to Face allows the opportunity to rediscover Christ’s presence in your life, to gain fresh understanding of God’s transforming grace, and to form friendships that foster faith and support spiritual maturity. If you desire a deeper, more meaningful walk with the risen Christ, if you would like that relationship to be reflected in every other relationship in your life, if you wish to make a deeper impact on the world around you by living a life centered on Jesus Christ, then join us as we encounter the Risen Christ… Face to Face.
Face to Face encounters are not held at Camp Otyokwah; Encounters are held at churches throughout the community. Check the Face to Face page for information about the upcoming Encounter, when it will be held, and where the meetings will take place.
