Journey Serves — Community Impact and Missions
When Jesus showed up on the scene, he said that he was all about “good news for the poor.” So, like him, we want to spread good news for the poor, the dejected, the unseen, the broken, the wounded, the outcasts. Through Journey Serves, we hope to spread good news by feeding people, clothing people, helping people back on their feet, cleaning up our local parks, partnering globally in communities like Carrefour, Haiti and Tecate, Mexico.
Keep up to date on ways to serve by visiting this page often. Together, we can bring heaven to earth.

Journey is exploring opportunities to provide English As A Second Language training to various groups and people. Unfortunately, the Journey Serves crew doesn’t have any idea what’s involved in this! So, we are looking for people who have expertise in this area to give us guidance. This is NOT a request for a commitment to teach (although we wouldn’t turn this down). It IS a request that you allow us to buy you a coffee and probe your mind. We promise that it won’t hurt! Fill out the form on this page for more information.

HGTV, the Home And Garden Network, has been working with our partner school, San Miguel Elementary, to improve and beautify their school/community garden. In exchange, San Miguel has agreed to have a commercial of their work produced to be aired on HGTV. The work will be done and the commercial footage shot on Monday, January 30. A large number of school children and their parents have volunteered. However, more are needed. Would you like to participate? Volunteers are needed for two-hour increments from 8:30 am to dusk. Your children are welcome! If you would like to participate, please fill out the form on this page.

Some foster children are lucky enough to live in the home of a loving sponsor. The really fortunate ones return to their biological family, restored, healthy and happy. The rest live in a group home with other children in their situation. This Christmas, Journey would like to bring some light into the lives of these children by offering them a shopping spree in our thrift store. We would like your help in making this a fun, loving time for these kids. We are looking for volunteers to hang out in the thrift store during their visit and shower them with love and attention. If you are interested, please fill out the form on this page. We’ll get back to you once we decide on the day and time.
