The Moses Journey

Eleven days through the Midian desert — where a fugitive prince became a prophet.

Wadi Rum, Jordan · Tabuk, Saudi Arabia

A fugitive becomes a prophet.

A prince, a murderer, a fugitive. For forty years, Moses kept sheep in the Midian desert — the same arc of land we walk today. He learned silence and hiddenness. He met God on a mountain we can climb. This is the wilderness that made him.

Eleven days, twelve pilgrims, one Bedouin family who has guided in these wadis for four generations, and a teaching pastor reading Exodus aloud at the places it happened.

Three movements

Prince · Shepherd · Prophet

Movement 1

Prince

Palace to wilderness

Read Exodus 1–2 on the ground. Face what it means to walk away from privilege and toward calling.

Movement 2

Shepherd

Forty years of silence

Walk the wadis of Midian. Learn the disciplines of survival — fire, water, star navigation — that Moses learned here.

Movement 3

Prophet

The mountain of God

Ascend the traditional site of Sinai at sunrise. Read Exodus 3 and 19 where it happened. Come down changed.
