Do you have an inspiring picture of God’s magnificent creation from the beautiful Northwoods of Michigan? Send it in, along with a fitting verse of Scripture, and we’ll consider sharing it on this website to encourage others who are also living the journey!

November 2008 Girls Journey

Pictured above is the final Journey to the Heart group of 2008—the largest Journey so far! This is an exciting climax to an amazing year of life changing Journeys.

One of the leaders called from the Northwoods last night and reported, “The Journey is going so well! These girls are getting a passion for God. Each one is having exciting things happening in their life and they are looking forward to sharing what God is doing. I hope that you all can continue to pray, especially on Thursday as we spend the day delighting in the Lord.” Please pray!

“Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long” (Psalm 35:27-28).

October 2008 Life Focus Journey

After several weeks of rigorous training, this team of Life Focus fellows is taking a Journey to the Heart. Pray that God will show Himself strong as they draw near to Him this week!

“Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you … Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up” (James 4:8, 10).
