God told me He wanted me to bring His daughters together in fellowship and community from all around the world!

My goal is to never let girls go without life-giving community wherever they journey!
The Zion Tribe is now global and friendships are being made all around the world! All glory to God!

After much prayer for the name, I landed on Journeying Zion. This community is all about having a relationship with Jesus with authentic friends walking by your side. Our relationship with Jesus is a lifelong journey. We aren’t designed to journey by ourselves. The goal in our journey together is to always be in Zion - the place where Jesus dwells.
Throughout the Bible Mount Zion is mentioned. It is the mountain of grace. Mount Zion is the place where God dwells and His daughters reside. What a better place to journey together than Zion!

You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, 23 to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, 24 to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant...
