About JourneyPartners
JourneyPartners is an ecumenical and interfaith not-for-profit ministry working nationally and internationally to develop networks and partnerships for mutual learning and spiritual growth, through cross-cultural immersion experiences, educational endeavors, construction and renovation projects, and service-learning.
JourneyPartners connects resources, people, challenges and opportunities around the world and at home. We focus in three main arenas: clean and available water, education and resources, and health and medicine. Recent celebrations include the construction of a 75,000 gallon water reservoir in Gweru, Zimbabwe; assisting the new Alliance of Baptists in Brazil in the publication of Walter Shurden’s Four Fragile Freedoms in Portugese, and delivery of more than two tons of supplementary textbooks to Jones County Schools in eastern North Carolina. 2007’s work brought three mission immersion teams to Zimbabwe, and included the construction of a hostel to house AIDS orphans in Masembura, the fourth Church Leadership Institute in cooperation with the Baptist Seminary of Zimbabwe, shipment of more than 500 nursing and medical textbooks to nursing schools in several developing areas, the first medical team from Mercer University to Zimbabwe to explore future medical missions, and mission opportunities with Baptists in Brazil and the Republic of Georgia. Funds from the [your congregation] allow this small organization to link people of faith all over the world, and assist congregations in making a little bit go a very long way.
