From the Acts of the Apostles 10:34-48

“34 Now Peter began to speak and said:
“I absolutely perceive that The God does not show partiality, 35 but in every nation the person fearing Him and who continues to work righteousness is acceptable to Him.
36 You are aware of the message that He sent to the sons of Israel proclaiming peace by means of Jesus Christ, that this One is Master of all.
37 [You are aware] of the events that occurred throughout all of Judea–beginning first in Galilee and the baptism preached by John– 38 how The God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with holy Pneuma and with Power. He then went traveling everywhere, doing good and healing all those who were oppressed by the Devil, because The God was with him.
39 Now we are witnesses of everything he did, both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. [The Jews] killed him by hanging him on a tree.
40 The God raised up this person on the third day and granted him to become visible.
41 Not to all the people but rather to witnesses who had been chosen by our God beforehand. To us, who ate and drank together with him after he was resurrected from the dead.
42 And he commanded us to preach to the people and to give our testimony that this is the One appointed by The God as judge of the living and the dead. 43 On this matter all the prophets bear witness–everyone believing in him receives forgiveness of sins on the basis of his name.”

44 As Peter was speaking these words the holy Pneuma fell upon all those hearing the Word. 45 Now Peter and those of the Circumcision with him were amazed that the gift of the holy Pneuma was poured out on non-Jews. 46 For they were now hearing all of them speaking in tongues and exalting The God.
Then Peter responded:
47 “Surely no one will refuse the water of baptism to these who have received the holy Pneuma just as we have?”
48 And so Peter commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.
Afterwards they asked Peter to remain for several days.” (Acts 10:34-48 MHM)

We start our pilgrimage during the dark hours of dawn, wanting to put that world of despair behind us, we realize that there is a lot going wrong in that world we want to turn our backs on.

The People of God, who were largely made up of itinerants, knew all too well that one had to turn away from that world which had no eye for the Great Designer of this earth. They too, knew that one had to turn away from sin. In their journeys they did all they could to succeed, but like every man they were also sometimes weak and fell into sin. We too, we too, during our journey, we must be aware that this will also be part of our lives.

About two thousand years ago there was also another man of God who came to explain the Heavenly Father and who called on people to follow him as the light in the darkness. It was a sent one from God who spoke to humanity and asked them to follow him. He was a Nazarene Jew who knew the Scriptures very well and loved his Heavenly Father above all the worldly lords, many of these spiritual leaders were not served, which also turned them against that man who received more attention than them and who dared to call himself son of God.

It is following that Jewish teacher that we want to join those who believe in the long-awaited son of God whom we want to accept as the Kristos – the Anointed of God – or Christ. We believe that he is the Messiah that people have been looking forward to for so many centuries.

It is important to know under what name one wishes to be known in the world.

Before the trek, one could say that those who are interested in walking would also like to be regarded as his followers or brothers and sisters, which is why they would be happy to bear his name and record it on their passport.
That important preacher mentioned Yeshua or Jeshua ben Josef and that is why we want to continue to travel the world under his name as « Yeshuaist » or « Jeshuaist« , which means « follower of Jeshua« .

While the many ‘name Christians‘ do not follow the authority of Holy Scripture at all, we want those who go on a trek with us to take the Bible as a guide and recognize the Word of God as the highest authority.

Those who go with us through the fields, mountains and valleys and cross the waters with them will continue to see together how important it is to get rid of a name that covers the wrong charge. If one pretends to be a Christian, most will think of all those other Christians who believe in the Holy Trinity. But one does not want to belong if one wants to end the trek together in the place where we must arrive, which is why it is important that you indicate from the beginning that you want to go through life as a Jeshuaist or follower of Jeshua, and even in that capacity that you are a Brother in Christ, or for the women and Sister in Christ.

During our journey we will make it very clear to the outside world that we as Brothers and Sisters in Christ want to continue through life.
