Here is a recent update from Jerry and Rossane Briscoe.  They are missionaries that we support.  So far this year we have given $3000 towards what God is doing through the Briscoes in the Philippines.

Dear Journey Church,


Thank you so much for your support of our mission work in the Philippines.  God has graciously used you to make it possible for us to return to Manila this Friday, July 15.  We will fly out of the K.C. airport early Fri. morning and arrive 27 hours later in Manila.


Although we aren’t really looking forward to the plane ride, we are eager to be back with our students at Faith Academy.  We know God is going to continue to do great things through them & their parents.


For His glory,
Jerry & Rosanne Briscoe

Don’t forget about the outreach event on Saturday at Harvesters! Check out the calendar section of our website for details!

Joplin relief video

Last week we did an outreach to collect donations for those affected by the Joplin tornado. So many people from Journey Church stepped up to the plate and made it happen! What a great way to be the hands and feet of Jesus! Here’s the video we showed last Sunday….

Missions

We don’t always have as much time as I’d like during our gatherings on Sunday mornings to talk about all we are doing as a church so I thought I’d let you know more through the blog about some of the missionaries that we support.  Some of you will remember when Jerry and Rosanne came and spoke earlier this year at Journey.  I wanted to give you an opportunity to learn more about them and see if God speaks to any of you to support what they are doing.

Jerry and Rosanne Briscoe, SEND International missionaries, began teaching at Faith Academy in August 2006.  Faith Academy is a K-12 Christian school in the Philippines.  The Briscoes teach at the Manila campus which has about 600 students from 20 different countries.  About 90% of the students are the children of missionaries.  Teachers, like the Briscoes, are all missionaries who are supported by the faithful gifts of churches and individuals.  Since Faith Academy does not have to pay the teachers, missionaries are able to afford the cost of sending their children to a high quality, international, Christian school.


Faith Academy is currently observing a time of fasting and prayer as they call upon God to provide the teachers for the 2011-12 school year.  The Briscoes need $450 per month in faith promises by June 15 in order to buy plane tickets and return to the Philippines in July. They need more individuals to partner with them and support the work at Faith Academy.  You can do this by making a faith promise through SEND International.  Here are ways to give:
Online:  www.send.org Choose Philippines Sending in the list of countries at the bottom of the home page and then choose Briscoe.  You will find a Giving link on our page.
