Welcome to Glory Journey

Where your faith comes alive in the Holy Land

Founder’s Testimony

Karem Yepez Tomsich
Founder and President of Glory Journey
My name is Karem Yepez Tomsich, and I am the founder of Glory Journey. Beyond titles, I am a woman of faith—transformed by the love of God and devoted to walking with others on their spiritual path.

My encounter with Jesus was the beginning of everything. I was just 12 years old when, along with my brother Xavier Antonio, who was 13, we were separated from our biological father due to difficult life circumstances. But it was precisely in that moment of brokenness that God took us into His loving arms. Through an invitation to a Charismatic Catholic retreat, a new story began to unfold in our lives.

There, we met Father José Ignacio Ugarte—a priest filled with the Holy Spirit—who taught us that we had a Heavenly Father who would never abandon us, and that our lives carried a divine and eternal purpose. Through discipleship and spiritual guidance, we came to experience God’s love in a deep and personal way. We were baptized in the Holy Spirit, and our lives were sealed by an unshakable truth: we had been born again.

From that moment on, we were never the same. We now live with and for Jesus, bearing witness to His mercy and bringing hope to those who need to rediscover the love of the Father.

Glory Journey was born from that calling—to be a light in the darkness, a guide for those who are searching, and a bridge for those longing for an authentic encounter with God. Through every project, retreat, and teaching, we seek to inspire others to embark on their own journey of glory—a path of faith, healing, and divine purpose.
“Because I live, you also will live.” – John 14:19
