What is JC?

Summary:

Journey Corps is an opportunity for young adults to give one or two years of their life to serving in cross-cultural ministry. Participants (Journeyers) will be exposed to various types of ministry while they seek direction from God for their future ministry. It is a season of intentionality where Journeyers are transformed by ministry for ministry. We offer things like; hands-on experience, mentors for the journey, living in community, over 65 years of missions experience, and practical and formal education.

History:

For more than 65 years, WorldVenture has been training national leaders around the world. Journey Corps is now leveraging this experience to equip the next generation kingdom workers. Two years ago, a concept paper was circulated to WorldVenture leadership outlining a service program that would allow young adults to be equipped to serve within a cross-cultural environment for up to two years, this was the beginning of Journey Corps!

Mission:

To see young adults' lives radically transformed for God's Kingdom by engaging in intentional community and cross-cultural ministry.

Do We Really Need More of Jesus?

Right now I need you Jesus. Even in saying that I think I diagnose what is wrong with my heart. I am not saying that I don't need Jesus. Hang with me for a minute. What I am saying is that I don't always believe what God has already done. God says in His word that I already have Jesus' help. God says I already have His Spirit living in me. If I come bumbling to God every day begging Him to give me some extra grace, then I fail to believe that I already have it. I believe, help my unbelief (Mark…See More

I'm doing okay. They still haven't found the cause of my pain attacks. They have assured me that my problem has nothing to do with my heart. The doctor seems to think it may be coming from a small hiatal hernia. He has put me on some medication that "SEEMS" to be helping. Thanks so much for asking. Blessings, Jerry

We at JourneyCorps West Africa focus on the relationships we make to share the Good News. It means living in an Ivoirian Gospel Community, spending time building relationship and trust with people, learning from them, then teaching them by example how amazing life with Jesus is. Thanks for all your prayers for our teams in Korhogo and Bouaké!!

Here is a good interview with Pastor Oscar Murio from Kenia who has been to the States and Urbana. We recommend all Journeyers to read it.

http://www.christianvisionproject.com/2007/05/the_african_planter.html

From his African mission perspective we could learn. Here is a little part of the interview in the link above.

Besides bringing an agenda, what tends to distinguish the American personality?

Americans have two great things going for them culturally. One is that Americans are problem-solvers. Every time I come to the U.S., I like to spend a couple hours in a Wal-Mart. I find solutions to problems that I never thought of!

The rest of the world, even Europe, isn't so intent on solving inconveniences. We tend to live with our problems. In America you almost never go into a house where the sinks have two taps, a cold water tap and a hot water tap, because that means you have to mix the water in the sink to get it to the right temperature. You have these single faucets that mix the water before it comes out. It makes perfect sense. But that's a problem the rest of the world wouldn't even think to solve.

Americans don't easily live with a problem—they want to solve the problem and move on. The rest of the world is more willing to live with the problems.

The second great thing for Americans is that your educational system teaches people to think and to express themselves. So a child who talks and asserts himself in conversation is actually awarded higher marks than the one who sits quietly.

How are these traits seen, say, in Africa?

Missionary Loudness

I have this moment of shame in my past. I was 17, and I worked in a Safeway grocery story. I don't know why but I LOVED my job. Looking back I think it was because of all the praise I received. I made it my goal to work harder than any other bag boy in the store. I would run as I collected carts; I tried to be…

Do you remember Bugs bunny? One of Bugs' arch enemies was good old Yosemite Sam. The typical episode consisted of Yosemite trying to get Bugs and failing over and over again. Finally, he would give up. I remember one episode Yosemite Sam is blown up, got smashed, and pounded and finally he decides to join Bugs Bunny's…

When God Doesn't Show Up

Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill. So the sisters sent to him, saying, “Lord, he whom you love is ill.” But when Jesus heard it he said, “This illness does not lead to death. It is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”…
