| | Dear Friends,
What are you seeking? The reality is we are all seeking something. Every person is living for something. Are you primarily seeking financial status, acceptance from peers, or momentary happiness? God is calling each of us as believers to seek something infinitely higher, grander and more important than these temporal things. He is calling us to pursue a deeper relationship with Himself!
Scripture says in Jeremiah 45:5a, "And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not" As believers, we are not to live in pursuit of great things for ourselves; instead, we are to seek God Himself with our whole heart. God has promised that if we seek Him wholeheartedly, we will find Him (see Jeremiah 29:13). |

Leonard Ravenhill, British author and preacher |

| God wants us to wholeheartedly seek Him every day, but the reality is that sometimes we get caught up in the daily activities of life and allow the busyness of our lives or worldly pleasures to crowd out our time in seeking Him. Journey to the Heart is an opportunity to unplug from distractions and focus on that which counts for eternity: our walk with God.
We would be thrilled to have you (or if you are a parent reading this email your sons and daughters) join us for an upcoming Journey to the Heart this spring or summer to pursue the Lord. On the Journey, participants will experience encouraging fellowship with the other Journeyers, impactful teaching, and personal time with God. Here are our upcoming Journey dates: |

We invite you to prayerfully consider attending one of our 2023 Journeys. Take a week away from the noise and activity of daily life and come seek the Lord. Your life may never be the same as a result because, to quote the famous Scottish preacher Oswald Chambers, "Personal contact with Jesus alters everything."
Blessings in Christ,
