According to Webster’s dictionary, the definition of the word journey is “an act of traveling from one place to another.” Journeys can be for our own knowledge and entertainment, such as visiting a place we have not been before, or they could be part of a journey to help those around the world, making a difference in the lives of others.   Both types of journeys have positives outcomes and effects, both enhance our lives, and the lives of others we meet along the way. Journeys are not always easy, and sometimes they stretch us beyond our limits, all for the good of God’s people. For example, St. Paul journeys to Rome in the height of Jewish persecution, in order to spread the Gospel of Jesus (Acts 21:16-28:31).  It wasn’t easy by any means, but it was for the good of God’s people, and benefitted many. 

The following information helps us to explore ways to travel the Journey of Care to help the world, and how we can get more involved.
