Journey 2012: Meet the Interns!

Journey Internship is a 10-week global discipleship experience in collaboration and partnership with 410 Bridge, Camp Highland and Choose to Invest Inc. Designed for college students who have a passion to live for something bigger than themselves and want to love and serve the people of Kenya in response to Gods relentless love for them.

As we welcome in the New Year, we also want to launch the new movement that God is doing through Journey 2012! God is faithful every year to provide specific vision and purpose for each summer. Within that faithfulness, He also creates the team so uniquely and it is exciting to think that in Gods sovereignty, for all of these interns, God had it planned all along that they would Journey with us!

12 is a special number for us here at Choose to Invest as Romans 12 is one of our cornerstone scriptures. In verse 1, Paul is urging the Romans to “offer their bodies as living sacrifices” and that this is “true and proper worship.” We are expectant of the kingdom glory that God will receive from Journey 2012 by their service. As a team, we will be travelling to multiple 410 Bridge communities to serve in schools, disciple the youth, aid in manual labor projects, and most importantly build relationships with our Kenyan friends.

Our desire is that you would begin praying for this group both individually and collectively as God begins to grow them together as a team. The exciting thing is that we are not finished yet! We are still in the process of interviewing and receiving applications which will be announced in late January.

“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
Romans 12.

Journey 2012.

  A Note from Our Founder

If we’ve spent any time together, you’ve probably heard me this before: pay attention to who walks through the front door. 

That was some early advice from my friend, Lanny, and it held the test of time. It’s important to keep a lookout for people suddenly crossing your path – God just might be introducing you to someone special. So, when Chris Joiner walked through our front door, I paid attention.  

In 2021, Chris reached out just to have a conversation. Over a few breakfasts, Chris and I discussed our shared passion for changing the way the West church engages the poor. At the time, Chris was working for another non-profit organization, but it quickly became clear that we both sought to create a lasting, meaningful impact on the lives of the poor.
