Journey’s Way Ministries in 2020 We’re excited to announce that, in addition to expanding the sections for young readers in our bookstore, JWM has many exciting missional undertakings in 2020! Beginning in January, Pastor Time is becoming a monthly Encourage Ministry offering. Our Discovery Ministry book study on Toxic Charity will be offered again this spring and a new book study will soon be announced. In fact, our Discovery Ministry book study is becoming a fixture of JWM. We’re diligently working on plans to extend the operating schedule of our bookstore! Look for all of this and more soon on our website and social media. Please pray with us for discernment as we plan, not only for 2020, but for the future missional endeavors of Journey’s Way Ministries.
Ministry Highlight: Discovery JWM’s first Discovery Book Study began this January. Toxic Charity: How Churches and Charities Hurt Those They Help (And How to Reverse It), by Robert Lupton, was the featured book. Held on Tuesday evenings throughout January, participants got to know and learn from one another. Class sizes are small and led by an experienced facilitator with practical expertise in the subject matter. Our Toxic Charity book study will be offered again later this year. We’re excited about the initial response to our Discovery Book Study and prayerfully considering several titles to add to the series in 2020 and beyond. Look for more information on JWM’s website in the coming months. If you have a suggestion for a book study please send an email to [email protected].
In each issue of The Journey we highlight a different ministry that makes up Journey’s Way.

We ask visitors to consider a fair value donation (or maybe a little more) or to receive their selections as our gift. Bookstore visitors love the concept of PAYC! PAYC also applies to JWM’s classes and activities.
We’re always in need of gently used books – fiction, nonfiction, religion, children, young adults, etc. Please ask your friends and neighbors to consider donating books today. Donations are tax deductible (consult your tax advisor).
