Missions

We define “missions” as reaching out beyond our church walls to demonstrate the love of Jesus to Bridgeville, the south hills, the Pittsburgh area, and the entire world.

For our foreign missions, we take the approach of getting very involved with a few missionaries rather than barely involved with many. We have some missionaries that have gone out from Journey Church, and some that are still in our church and that are involved in foreign missions.

David and Becky Servant (Heaven’s Family)

David and Becky founded Shepherd Serve in 2003 to focus on teaching and training indigenous pastors to minister to their own people. Since then, the ministry has grown and expanded its ministry scope to include caring for widows, orphans, and the poorest of the poor. The ministry is now called Heaven’s Family and is made up of three divisions: Shepherd Serve, I Was Hungry, and Orphan’s Tear. They have served over 40 nations so far.
