"IT SEEMS LIKE WE ARE WALKING THROUGH THE PAGES OF THE GOSPELS!"

You will forever be changed as you join our partners and an international team in rescuing lives and transforming communities. Watch as God moves you from empathy to active compassion.
Understanding How A JOC Meets Community Needs
During your 10 to 12 day Journey, you will have the following opportunities to minister to the poor, the vulnerable, and the less fortunate:
-
Pray for the sick – Witness the Kingdom of God at work as you pray. People will encounter Christ, and you’ll see extraordinary healings.
-
Share the gospel – During door-to-door ministry and at medical clinics, you’ll share the Good News of the gospel and testimony of God’s goodness in your life.
-
Provide practical help – Demonstrate Christ’s love & help our partners build trust by meeting immediate needs in the community.
Most Journeys include two or more of these elements
Medical Clinics
Deliver healthcare to those with little or no access.
Water Filters
Provide safe drinking water to hundreds on a single trip.
Food Distribution
Help reduce food insecurity through hampers or cooked meals.
Small Projects
Support communities with essential small construction projects.

What is a Journey of Compassion?
Since 2005, Impact Nations has led over 79 Journeys to 20 nations around the developing world; more than 1500 people have registered for one of these trips.
Why do we put so much time and effort into planning and conducting Journeys?
Ever wonder why people go on a Journey of Compassion, or what happens when they do? Curious about the Impact that a Journey has on team members and locals? Danielle took a few minutes to give us an idea of what drives her to go and tell us a few stories from the road a Journeyer travels:
Journeys of Compassion are valuable on at least three levels:
Every follower of Jesus is called to be a minister.
Journeys are the best way we know of to release every team member into their own experience of hands-on ministry. One of our greatest joys is to watch people step into their calling and anointing as they preach the Gospel, heal the sick, and practically demonstrate Christ’s love. For everyone who goes on a journey, it is a time of self-discovery and empowerment. Team members return home bigger on the inside, living with more faith, more anointing and more experience than ever before
Every follower of Jesus is called to be a minister.
Journeys bring hope and healing to entire communities. During a Journey of Compassion, we may reach as many as six different communities. Whether in rural villages or urban slums, the impact is huge. When we began, we never dreamed that on a single Journey we would be reaching as many as 8,000 people with powerful expressions of the gospel. Wherever we go, hundreds of the sick are healed and come to Christ, hundreds more receive medical attention, water filters, food or mosquito nets. The immediate impact on the community is exciting, but even beyond this, much more is accomplished.
“There is a wide-open door for a great work here” (1 Cor 16:9)
Very often, Journeys open a door for long-term community transformation, allowing us to build relationships with local ministries that would otherwise not be possible. And so, in many nations around the developing world, Impact Nations is engaged in sustainable transformation projects that are deeply changing communities. Working with our partners, hundreds of churches have been planted; 400,000 people now have safe drinking water; hundreds of thousands of meals have been distributed to malnourished children; businesses and business training have been established, schools built…and on and on. All of these projects began with a Journey of Compassion.
