As the world battles COVID-19, international travel has been massively restricted and it is our responsiblity to stay home and slow the spread.
As such, we do not currently have any Journeys of Compassion open for registration.
However, we always offer a Journey Savings Account (JSA). You can make tax deductible donations during this season so that as soon as our Journeys open for registration, you have already saved the money to register.
Additionally, if you would like to be notified as soon as our Journeys open, you can fill out this quick contact form to let us know about your interest and we will keep you updated.
Again and again, we hear words like these as men, women, and children discover the joy of going to the front lines to be used by the Lord to bring his salvation, healing and hope to the poor and unreached.
Journeys of Compassion put hands and feet to the adventure of the Gospel, where together we live out the reality that the Kingdom of God is big enough and powerful enough to touch every part of life. Everywhere we go, Christ is preached, the sick are healed and good news to the poor is demonstrated in prisons, hospitals, mobile medical clinics, and feeding programs. Journeys vary in length from one to two weeks, and reach across the world, from Africa to Asia to Central America.
Men, women, and children who choose to join us are those who desire to go beyond what they have ever experienced in their Christian life––to be used by the Lord to bring His salvation, healing, and hope.
I hope that this letter finds you healthy and safe in these uncertain times. I don't think any of us could have anticipated how the Covid-19 pandemic would cause such a prolonged global lockdown. I'm sure it has been a challenging season for all of you.
Although the majority of our activities are currently on hold, our partners have been hard at work feeding day laborers who were starving as a result of the lockdown. In less than two weeks, the Impact Nations family has provided over half a million meals in six different nations.
I'm sorry to report that we have made the difficult decision to cancel all remaining Journeys of Compassion for 2020. Under normal circumstances we would already be working closely with our in-country partners to plan the details of these Journeys, but they are obviously unable to make the necessary arrangements at this time. Nor do we wish to expose you to the potential risk of international travel during the pandemic.
Journeys of Compassion are an important part of the Impact Nations mission, and we look forward to resuming them when it is safe to do so. In the coming months, our team will draft a tentative schedule for 2021, but remain very flexible. If travel opens up it might be possible to shift the 2020 trips into the first 6 months of 2021.
Some of you have already started a Journey Savings Account. This is an excellent way to begin saving towards a future Journey of Compassion, even if you don't know which Journey God will direct you toward.
