Journey USA Intensive Week
Building People
At the core, Journey is about people, seeing God’s children live holy and authentic lives. Our prayer and discipleship programs provide safe places for men and women to be honest about their relational and sexual struggles, and to be renewed through God’s healing love and restoration.
Equipping Leaders
Every year, Journey USA hosts an Intensive Week, a week-long retreat designed to deepen the healing of participants and to train them to become leaders in Journey programs. This experiential training is available for those who have completed the Journey Discipleship Course, or those who are in pastoral ministry, professional counseling, and lay leadership.
Throughout the week, participants will take part in all sessions that include times of worship and teaching, as well as confidential small group sessions for personal support and prayer.
Key Areas of Training
Participants will hear core teachings from the Journey Discipleship Course and be trained to be part of ministry teams with topics including:
God’s intention: relationships and sexuality
Understanding relational and sexual struggles
Gender and our identity
Understanding abuse and addiction
Discipleship and healing
Small group dynamics
Effective prayer ministry

““After being in full-time ministry for a few years, it can be easy to focus most of your attention on serving others, whether leaders or people seeking support. For me, it ended up being a battle to seek out what I needed for my own health and growth. At the same time, there were a number of relational changes that seemed to be affecting me more deeply than usual. Coming to the Journey Intensive Week was an awesome opportunity to interact with God around changes happening in life and receive His perspective, seeing how specific things in my past were being brought to light with current situations. Journey USA did a great job of creating a safe environment to encounter the Holy Spirit working in me, in the context of relationships with others.””
