Journey On!
"O the depth of the riches both of
the wisdom and knowledge of God! how
unsearchable are his judgments,
and his ways past finding out!" (Romans
11:33).
 We are
about to hear from a group that we've
never featured in this
newsletter—mothers!
Here is a testimony from the first full
length Mothers Journey, which was held
this past September.
"There I was at 5:30 am, 30 minutes into
my trip, staring at an ATM which
literally ate my credit card—the only
form of money I had packed. I wondered if
I could physically make it to the Buffalo
airport 1 ½ hours from home after wasting
an hour backtracking. I had pulled an all
nighter due to the excitement and
anticipation of the Journey and just
trying to tie up loose ends on the home
front. At 53 years old with seven
children ages 4 to 17, the fatigue was
wearing on me. Somehow, I made it…Little
did I know that a Psalm I had read
earlier in the week would be the focal
point of my Journey: “Now also
when I am old and greyheaded, O God,
forsake me not; until I have showed Thy
strength unto this generation, and thy
power to everyone that is to come” (Psalm
71:18). . . .

 OK,
grab a piece of paper and a pen, and
let's see how well you do on this quiz
about Jesus, His life, and His ministry.
(No looking anything up, this is a closed
book test! :) Each question is worth 10
points.

Mary Magdalene?
2) What phrase did Jesus say to the woman
healed from the issue of blood?
3) How old was Jesus when He was baptized
and began His ministry?
4) Which disciple did Jesus rebuke when
the disciple said, “Show us the
Father.”?
5) Who was it that surprised Jesus
because of his “great faith”?
6) Who were the Jews talking about when
they said of Jesus “behold how he loved
him.”?
7) Who was the high priest that resided
over Jesus' trial?
8) What was Christ doing on the shore
after His resurrection when the disciples
saw Him from their boats?
9) When the Pharisees tried to trap Jesus
about paying taxes what did Jesus say in
response?

for the Way
This calendar is not only full of Godly
inspiration, it is absolutely
BEAUTIFUL!
I can say that with great certainty
because I already own one.
I know I know, you're all jealous, and
with good reason.
The photographer has not only captured
breathtaking images, he has laid them out
in a wonderfully tasteful way. It's a
calendar you will not be ashamed to hang
in a prominent place! With Christmas
coming up it would also make a great gift
especially since it is so reasonably
priced. (And I'm not just saying
that!)
To order this special calendar go to our
Web Store.
Since it is so close to
Christmas, we're going to highlight
a few extra items in case you still need
gift ideas.

 For this
issue we really wanted the stories to be
encouraging, so we decided to have some
stories about the IBLP staff trip to
Peru! We have two stories which will make
you laugh, and touch your heart. We pray
that they will be a
blessing!
The first story is about how God can
use anything! He
uses the funniest things to spread His
love to others! If you don't really think
so, then read this story
and you will laugh at what God used to
break down walls!
The
second account will give you the feel of
Peru, and the feelings of those in the
group, along with a special look into a
life hidden away in one of the many
seemingly unimportant places!

wonderful stories of God's power and
goodness!
 Updates
and Exciting Happenings!
 
That's it
folks!
The last Journeys of 2010 are
over!
2010
has been an exciting year in which God
has been so faithful!
He has brought many young people to
Journey so they could seek His face
and get to know Him in a totally new and
alive way. And the young people
weren't the only ones!! God allowed
over fifty mothers to
come
and do the same! He deserves much glory
and praise for the
mighty works that He has done!
But
now, for 2011 He is continuing to do
amazing things!
We are blessed to be announcing
the first ever ten-day
Fathers
Journey to the
Heart!
On March
12th through March 22nd we will be
holding a full ten day Journey
for fathers!
Space will be
limited so start praying now for God's
will about whether your father should
go!
But
don't worry young people! We haven't
forgotten about you!
We already have dates for
2011!
Lord
willing, we'll be starting regular
Journeys up again in March with a
Young Mens Journey
starting on March 26th
through April 5th,
followed by a Young Ladies
Journey on April
9th through April
19th.
So
start praying and planning.

 Ever
wanted to travel but didn't know where to
go or how to go about it? Well here is an
incredible opportunity to serve the Lord
with a whole team of other Godly young
people!
If you love working with children and you
want to see the amazing work that God is
doing in other parts of the world, than
you should talk to your parents, pray,
and seriously consider embarking on this
adventure to teach Children’s Institutes
in Taiwan and Hong Kong! (I told you it
was an incredible opportunity!)
