Through the Journey to the Heart program, hundreds of youth have now embarked on the most important journey of their lives—a journey to love God with all their hearts, souls, minds, and strength. Many now know Him with an intimacy that they never imagined possible.
What is a Journey?
Phase I: Preparation With Distance Learning
After your application has been accepted, you will receive three courses that will help prepare you for a successful Journey. What you learn in these courses will also help you for the rest of your life.
-
How to Hear God’s Voice
Many people want to hear God’s voice, but they do not understand how to listen. Others have serious doubts about God and the Scriptures. This course explains how to overcome one thing that has hindered many from hearing God’s voice. -
How to Enjoy God’s Presence
Applying what you learn in this course will give you an intimate fellowship with God every night as you go to sleep. Dramatic results have come to those who have applied what they learned in this course. -
How to Experience God’s Power
This is the “secret” of the Journey! When every team member comes together with one accord and a desire to seek God with all their hearts, souls, minds, and strength, the power of God’s Spirit comes upon them. God then becomes real, prayer becomes meaningful, and supernatural answers to prayer are given. The challenge is that only one person who is not of one accord can hinder God’s power for the whole group.
Phase II: The Journey
After completing these courses, you will travel to IBLP’s Oak Brook Headquarters. There you will receive training and orientation for the Journey. On Monday morning you will travel by van to the beautiful Northwoods Conference Center in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This includes 3,000 acres of beautiful woods and lakes.
For a week you will explore various types of heart conditions and identify the attitudes of the heart that please God. You will follow a syllabus and schedule that are based on 40 years of youth ministry, enjoying times of group discussion, personal time with God, rich fellowship, prayer, singing, journaling, and walks through the woods. You and your team of ten to twelve will stay in a beautiful home on the lake or a section in the conference center lodge in which you will make your own meals and work together as a team.
The Journey concludes with further training back in Oak Brook. This training is designed to help you confirm God’s direction for your life and equip you to be successful in carrying it out.
