Deepened call for mission after a trip to Iona

I spent last week on Iona, a tiny island off the coast of Scotland in the inner Hebrides. On this island, St Columba brought the gospel to Scotland and Northern England. This was an amazing experience for me where I found my faith deepened and renewed. One day was spent retracing the footsteps of St Columba by undertaking a prayer walk with non stop wind and rain! We were able to spend time reflecting on St Columba's own missionary zeal as he landed in his coracle on Iona from Ireland.
