Mission Trip or Pilgrimage to Norway

In Norway, you breathe in beauty. For a first-time visitor, a few days in Norway eases the soul. Her laid-back locals encourage you to take a cultural deep dive and her Viking heritage that evokes dreams of long houses filled with singing warriors. Norway is a country of jaw-dropping natural wonders that erupt in the seaside fjords, with one of the finest short-summer seasons on the planet. Be warned, the sun is always bright in the summer, even up to midnight. As the Norwegian proverb says, “Do not look at the ground for your next step; greatness lies with those who look toward the horizon.”

Norway is a country of mountain ranges, huge forests, and vast empty expanses, but you can also experience her Christian heritage as you follow the tall staves of the Norwegian churches from town to town. Built like upside-down boats, these churches show you the change from world plunderers to peaceful inhabitants. Whether taking in Oslo’s green spaces and world-class museums, visiting a mountain hamlet in the north, or engaging in playful seaside activities, Norway is an ideal spot for your upcoming pilgrimage, educational expedition, or natural adventure.
