It Begins - The Mary Jones Experience 2013!

Welcome To Wales

Well - Its finally September and I am here now in Cardiff, Wales with the group. After 9 months of planning, praying and mixed feelings of excitement and anxiety. We are here now in Wales!

Out of Australia there has never been an organised guided group "Mary Jones Experience". This is the first time ever. I feel like a pioneer! (Maybe thats a bit of an exaggeration)

Part of my group

Its great that 22 of us from all around Australia will be traveling around the UK, visiting towns and cities. Immersing ourselves in the history, culture and spirituality of the region. The travellers themselves are a good bunch. Some are old friends, others meeting for the first time. All of us though, like minded and one as a group.

1. We are all as one thanks to our salvation in Jesus and our strong belief in Christianity
2. We are inspired by the story of Mary Jones and are here to experience 'the walk'
3. We are all supporters of the Bible Society, through fundraising, volunteering and even employment!

So over the next 12 days follow me Michael Fattal on behalf of PlanetBlueTours as I post up photos and blog about the “Mary Jones Experience”.

Seriously I have the best job in the world. :)

Mary Jones and her Bible

For those who don’t know what all this Mary Jones stuff is about heres a brief explanation about Mary.

“Mary Jones, a 15-year-old Welsh girl walked 26 miles in the late 1700s from Llanfihangel-y-Pennant to Bala in search of a Bible. She saved up for 6 years so she could afford one. By doing so Mary helped inspire the founding of Bible Society which gave birth to a worldwide Bible movement. “

Such an inspiring true story. On the “Mary Jones Experience” we will be re-tracing Mary’s journey through the welsh country side. Many of the travellers have been training to do this walk!

There is a lot more though - over the next few posts I will tell you about the fundraising aspect of the tour and let you in on something amazing.

Enough from me for now.

Keep following the blog - check out the photos on facebook and you can also follow me on twitter.
