60 Years of Transforming Lives

The Journeyman Program: A legacy of faith and impact

The Journeyman Program started in 1965 as a Peace Corps-inspired initiative to send young people overseas for two years of missionary service. It became a decade of unprecedented growth for missions work as the gospel went out to many new lands. Today we continue to witness the eternal impact of Journeymen around the world.

More than 6,400 young adults have been sent

Thank you for your part in making Jesus known where He was not known, planting churches where there were no churches, and leading generations of brothers and sisters to faith in Christ, all for the glory of God!

We would love to reconnect with you
