What do you do on a Mission trip??

Posted by Josh on

Missions in Haiti – what do you do on a Mission trip?!

We wanted to give a brief description as to what goes on during these trips. Obviously the main goal of each trip is serving our brothers and sisters in Christ and with each trip we hope and pray that the lost come to know Him through prayer and conversations. On top of that, each week has been designed to suit every teams abilities, keeping in mind that GOD has given us each a different talent! There are work projects, construction within the local churches/homes, village ministry, building rabbit cages, devotion time with the team, worshiping and the list goes on!

September 2018 – in addition the items listed above, the September 2018 team will be really focusing on home construction and the sports outreach project. Even though this trip is full, you now have some specific items to pray for!

November 2018 – Village ministry will be a huge part of this trip, specifically in a location where there is an upcoming church plant and some construction projects.

January 2019 – Another focus of this trip will be improving the facilities at the local schools. We would LOVE to have some teachers on this trip. There will be opportunities to teach in the schools, mentor, and some one on one time with the Haitian teachers.

April 2019 – The April team will be focusing on relationship and faith building through sports! If you or anyone you know has a passion for basketball or soccer, this could be the trip!!

September 2019 – We will be working on home and church construction projects/repairs. This is the trip for you or someone you know if you are handy in these areas!

November 2019 – There will be a focus on medical assessments during this trip. Doctors and nurses are most definitely welcome to join, as local health assessments will be taking place at the orphanages and schools.

More to come, stay tuned!!

Priority: Pointing People to Jesus

Posted by Josh on

April 10, 2018

Did you know that the very first priority that informed our mission here at Journey is the priority of people’s relationship with Jesus Christ. Everything we do should point people toward Jesus. You know it…To invite and lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.

And what it takes to make that happen every Sunday is a handful of committed and dedicated Jesus followers. People who understand that it’s not about making sure that people believe everything we believe, it’s not about what’s in it for us, it’s not about serving in an “easy” role, it’s not about helping people “behave” correctly, and it’s not about flash and fanfare.

It’s about everyone grabbing a serving role, a place to be a smile, a wave, a creative element, a greeting, an influencer, a leader, a connector, a demonstration of love…all to create an entire experience, from the street to the seat, that is so irresistible that people will come back week after week. When that happens, over time, we can lead them into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.

And that, my friends, is why what you do is SO IMPORTANT. Thank you for your service!
