Naomi Smith "Follow Me"

I have a question for you. What is the most important thing in your life?

I've been wrestling with this the last 2 months, as my family has seen me cling to something other than them and not understood why. My parents think that I want to be as far away from them as possible. My grandfather thinks that family means nothing to me. My aunts and uncles say that the radical changes in my decisions are uncharacteristic of me.

You know what I say?

It's Jesus Christ.… Continue

Rebekah Bray Here in Denver

There is nothing like jumping in head first, or feet first. So many allusions to feet .... getting your feet wet, getting cold feet, what does all of it mean? I guess feet has to do with moving, or direction and possibly the prospects and consequences of it.

So, the direction of my life is heading to Africa, la Cote d'Ivoire, so my feet moved me to a plane which moved me to Denver. Now, here I am, sitting in the Journey Corps part of World Vision pulling together my passions.

Peter and Katrina Goehring Developing Godly Leaders

You have followed at least one person before. You, therefore, have had at least one leader before, likely many. Those leaders has influenced you. Some have impacted you for the better because they were good or even great leaders. Some, though they were poor or even horrible leaders, have impacted you for the better because of what you learned not to do. Sometimes you have learned a great deal from those who lead. Sometimes you have taught them a great deal. S… Continue

Dr. Jim Copeland History and The Future of Journey Corps


Update Blogs are going to help build an international ministry called Journey Corps which was launched to participate in the missional movement among young people from all over the world.


The Idea started circulating in the summer of 2008, when Don Thornton, the Senior VP of Finance, wrote a concept for a new ministry called VentureCorps. The idea was a ministry for Christian young adults to serve around the world. This idea percolated for months with littl

Aaron Bjorklund Finding God's Will

So how does one find God's will? This seems like such an important subject doesn't it? Some might even say that finding God's will for your life is the most important thing in life. Although that sounds noble, I want to propose a more important pursuit.

In the first chapter of Colossians Paul tells his readers how he prays for them. In this prayer he talks about God's WILL. He says that he had not, "ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of

Aaron Bjorklund What is Journey Corps

Journey Corps is a stepping stone.

Journey Corps is a place where people can do several different things. My hope is that Journey Corps will be a place of intentionality. If you go to another country and mingle with a bunch of other Christians trying to Grow in their knowledge of God, missions, culture, and life then you are going to grow.

Journey Corps leaders are being trained to mentor. It is their job to find you places to serve

Daniel Graybeal Spiritual Solitude...

We believe that it is vital to connect with God everyday in our quiet space. Our relationship with God desperately needs space for solitude and communion. Many practice this in different ways. For example, some take a walk at night, some read the Bible, others pray through the Psalms, others go on an outdoor adventure, and others simply mediate on God’s goodness. We regularly meet with God in this intimate place of spiritual solitude in order to create some space in which He can act. This disci… Continue

Aaron Bjorklund What is one thing that Journey Corps does?

There are many things that Journey Corps will help with, but I'll just start with one and add more later. Journey Corps hopes to serve the church. The church in West Africa is growing but there is so much to do throughout the region in order to help bring the gospel to their comunities and care for their peoples' needs. Now is a perfect time for Journey Corps: Ivory Coast because the Ivorian church has asked for help. They have needs and they love the idea of people coming to their comunities to… Continue

Aaron Bjorklund On the road again

Well we are done. We are headed back to Colorado after a wonderful time at Urbana. We made quite a few contacts. There was a huge interest in Journey Corps. Everyone wanted to know more about it. Everyone loved the idea of serving where you are called. I am hoping that people will benefit from being able to try new things and being pushed to grow into their giftings. We are currently in the middle of Kansas. I can't wait to follow up with all the students we meet to find out if we can love them… Continue

Aaron Bjorklund If you want to hear a preacher

I just heard some of the most powerful preaching of my life. Oscar Muriu preached last night at Urbana and really spoke powerfully. He is a pastor in Kenya and he spoke so pointedly to the 16,000 students about how missions should be done. He explained how damaging a westerner can be to a country if they come in and do not humble themselves before the poor. If you get a chance to hear it I highly recommend it. Continue

Aaron Bjorklund Urbana 2009 God is Good

Well we've finished our first full day at urbana 2009. It was a great day! I was just happy to be with the rest of the team. Yesterday I was sick all day and had to spend it in bed. Today I am feeling much better and was able to meet a bunch of people who are interested in missions. It is so cool to see people who are focusing on missions. If you are praying for us we are so grateful. It is my greatest prayer not that WorldVenture or Journey Corps grows but that God's kingdom does. Please pray… Continue
