The Journey for Couples Curriculum is Available

Influencers is a ministry to Men. It always has been. However, as we minister to men, we also minister to those in their spheres of influence. As a matter of fact, we preach to men that their FIRST area of personal ministry is to their wives. We have seen that a man who abides with Christ becomes a better husband. However, many Journey wives are starving. They hunger to find this same "intimate, abiding" connection to Christ, for they see the fruit of this relationship in their husbands. They don't seem to be finding this in their Bible Studies and Small Groups. We never thought Jesus' message about abiding and about making disciples was just for men, but we didn't think we were to carry this banner to women. Then, an idea was birthed. What if men, who had been through The Journey and found this intimate, abiding relationship with Christ, invited their wives to go on The Journey with a group of other couples? This really resonated for we thought that this would not only help the wives, but it would help marriages. However, we were not sure if it would be effective for a number of reasons. Well, after 3 test groups in Tulsa and N.W. Arkansas, we believe we have indeed found a new expression for The Journey. The Holy Spirit continues to expand our vision of how The Journey can be used. Though there are definitely different group dynamics for a Couple's Group compared to a group of men, we have seen transformation. We have seen women begin to read their Bibles, some for the first time. We are seeing women begin to journal. We are seeing healing begin to take place in a very deep way. We are seeing marriages strengthened right before our eyes. We are seeing God begin to build ministry teams between married couples. It remains to be seen how this expression of The Journey will be expanded, but we want you to know the curriculum is available. If you think God is leading you to possibly lead such a group, please send us an email at [email protected], and we will be glad to send you a .pdf version of the curriculum. You will still have to purchase the books that accompany our curriculum, but for now, the Guide Manuals and Participant Manuals are being offered at no charge. We look forward to seeing how God might use "The Journey for Couples". Blessings to you on your Journey and as you love your wives like Christ loved the church.
