Enjoy listening in as the Wilkes brothers recount all that the Lord taught them on their recent Life Focus Journey to the Heart!
Matthew:
I went to Northwoods not sure what to expect on a Journey to the Heart. I had heard testimonies; but what was my experience of it going to be? While going through the each day, the Lord deeply encouraged me with particular passages of scripture that gave new purpose and, in addition, forged a deeper desire to study and apply Christ’s commands.

Joshua:
Through embarking upon this Journey, I recognized anew the fruit that results from coming apart to rest a while. (See Mark 6:31.) The usual busyness to which we subject ourselves provides a natural tendency to overlook the needful thing of sitting at the feet of Jesus. For almost an entire week, the team reaped unspeakable joy (see I Peter 1:8) that comes through searching our hearts, acknowledging failure, meditating upon God’s Word, and partaking in one-accord prayer. I returned with a renewed vision, powerful tools, and the life changing principle of Psalms 119:165, “Great peace have they which love Thy law: and nothing shall offend them.”

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).

The reason I came on the Journey to the Heart was to seek God. The first day up at the Northwoods, our group leader Jordan said, “How sad it would be to come to the Journey to seek God and not know Him altogether.” This weighed heavy on my heart. I had “prayed a prayer” at a young age but I did not know without a doubt that I was saved. When I examined the fruits of my life, I noticed that I did not have many.
That night I accepted Jesus into my heart as the Lord of my life. Never before have I felt such a sincere love for the Lord. Since then, I have been on fire for God reading the Bible and praying with a fervency that I had never experienced before. Praise the Lord!
