Mission Partnerships
At Journey, we believe mission isn't something that happens somewhere else. God invites us to love our neighbors, serve our community, and participate in what He is doing all around the world. We’re grateful to support and partner with many incredible organizations and nonprofits who are doing just that.

Daily Needs Assistance is a non-profit, faith-based organization that believes and acts on the premise that the very DNA of God is to care for the fatherless, the widow, the lost, the lonely, and all who suffer injustice. It is out of this foundational belief that DNA offers programs that minister to the physical and spiritual needs of our community. DNA’s mission, derived from Micah 6:8, is to love our neighbors, act to alleviate poverty, and walk together toward Christ.
