Journey Outreach is the charitable arm of The Journey. It was officially born in early 2004, when a generous group of individuals made donations with the prayer that a Journey Centre be built in South Africa, so that its youth – orphans, children with AIDS or drug addictions, those who had suffered the hurt and pain of violence and sexual abuse – would have a free–of–charge way to find freedom, love and healing.

Since that time the vision has grown as people's hearts have opened and the donations have come in. Journey Outreach now has active programs in South Africa, Botswana and Namibia, India, and with indigenous communities in Australia and New Zealand.

Some of the most recent programs include the following:

The Phelophepa Train.The train (which is funded by donations from international companies) travels to rural communities in South Africa bringing much needed health care services including medical, dental and psychological counselling to the residents there. Aboard the train is a full-time Journey Practitioner who is fully funded by Journey Outreach and The Phelophepa Foundation.

‘Phelophepa’: the name means good clean health. The train is also more affectionately known as "The Miracle Train" and now The Journey is part of the miracle train, bringing basic health services and healing to rural South Africa. With The Journey in the rural communities, particularly in the schools, what is taking place cannot be planned, it cannot even be experienced. It is the manifestation of many prayers prayed for Africa and Grace has answered the call partly through the Miracle Train.

Apna Ghar - The Pooja Project in India Last year The Journey received a letter from Ravi Rai, a generous-hearted man, who had begun to provide ‘homes’ for some of the many street children of India. He told us that although his former street children and orphans now had shelter, and were receiving care and love, many of them were emotionally traumatised and shut down in ways that carers did not have the means to help with. The request for Journeywork for the kids spoke directly to our hearts: Ravi's letter, which spoke of the shocking plight of individual children, moved us to tears, and Journey Outreach offered to support a project of healing and freedom for these children. A group of Practitioners has already begun Journeywork with the children, and follow-up is scheduled for this November. The initial results have been extraordinary, with an obvious and heartbreaking shift observable in many of the kids. Ravi has now been sponsored by Outreach to sit the whole Practitioner Program, and the prayer is to train a number of other Practitioners so we may begin the process of directly bringing the healing process work to the children in their native tongue, Hindi. Ravi tells us The Journey means, "a whole new world," for the kids.

Westville Prison. This project was initiated in 2006 providing Journeywork to female inmates at Westville Prison. In 2007, with a committed team of 4, the project expanded into other areas of the prison. Journey processes, both individual and group, were provided to 37 inmates aged between 15-69 years old with sentences from 2 years to life. The majority were sentenced for murder followed by robbery and fraud. The team overcame many challenges such as getting access to prisoners, staff strikes forcing prisoners to be ‘locked down’ in their section and scheduling sessions with prisoners having little free time. The work at the prison has been so successful that the team are now working on completing the Quality Assurance Applications so that Journey Outreach can become a Service Provider to the Department of Correctional Services Westville in the rehabilitation of offenders. 22 offenders at the start of 2008 have requested to participate in The Journey program so the team have already included them in the program.

School Evaluation - KwaZulu Natal, South Africa.This evaluation was conducted by a team of researchers, fieldworkers and translators. The evaluation was initiated by The Journey as part of its pilot study. The evaluation reported here focused on the Pilot Project that commenced in March 2004 and ended in October 2004. The central thrust of the evaluation remained with the task of ascertaining learners', educators', parents' and principals' perceptions on learners and educators' satisfaction and achievement. The learning goals of The Journey program encompass academic development, social awareness and life skills, the development of broad competencies such as problem solving, critical thinking and communicating.
