About Journey in the Word Ministries

Pastor Training Centers
Over 90% of the churches around the world have pastors and leaders with little-to-no theological training. As God brings more people into His kingdom and churches are birthed, the need for training is vast. Journey in the Word Ministries hopes to bridge the gap through on-site training utilizing easy-to-learn biblical curriculum and access to training events where each student will receive lodging, meals and transportation as needed. The goal is build Pastor Training Centers that are reproducible for nationals who can train others.
Help us develop Training Centers in under-resourced places around the world. Your partnership is the only way we can make this happen!
Leadership Development
Journey in the Word Ministries is committed to train leaders in churches and businesses with Lead Like Jesus Encounters and other leadership resources. Leadership is vital for church and community health. Our Lead Like Jesus Encounters engages the heart, head, hand and habits of the leader. Under-resourced communities have little-to-no access to this level of training, but you can help provide this critical training. Communities are transformed when leaders lead like Jesus!
Journey in the Word Ministries seeks to transform company cultures domestically as well. If your company could benefit from a Lead Like Jesus Encounter and you want more information, please contact us today!
Humanitarian Aid
Journey in the Word Ministries seeks to provide humanitarian aid such as food, clothing and clean drinking water. Most under-resourced pastors come from under-resourced villages. The physical needs within our world are almost impossible to meet, but the ministry is committed to help where we can, how we can and with what we have wherever the Lord leads.
