We are on a journey together at Hays Praise Emmaus, exploring what the Kingdom of God looks like in the here and now as well as how to love God and one another.

Emmaus is centered on the revelation of God in Jesus Christ and how this is reflected in local churches. The goal of Emmaus is to encourage, test, and prepare people of the local church for Christian activity in their homes, churches, and places of employment.

What is the Walk to Emmaus?

The Gospel of Luke relates the story of the risen Christ appearing to two who were going along the road from Jerusalem to Emmaus. Two friends were walking together, sharing their hearts’ deepest concerns. The risen Christ joined them and explained the scriptures as they walked, how it was ordained that Christ should suffer and so enter His glory. This experience on the road was a heart-warming experience as the risen Christ walked and talked with them. The illuminating climax of the experience was when Christ took bread and said the blessing, then broke it and gave it to them. The two had their eyes opened and they recognized Him as the risen Christ and they rushed back to Jerusalem to tell the others (Luke 24:13-35).
