Christ Journey is a community of people living the with-God life throughout Burleson and the surrounding cities giving themselves to:

> ascribe all worth and honor to God
> live in relationship with God & others
> grow in looking like Jesus
> bring justice and peace to our world
> participate in the loving story of God
> invite others to join this journey

If you already know someone connected with the Christ Journey community, the next time you're together take time to ask questions about the people and shared life of CJ.

If you are new to the area or investigating CJ for the first time, click the mailbox in the top righthand corner of this page & express your interest in getting together with some CJ folks for coffee or a meal to spend time discovering what following Christ in the midst of this community might look like.

Together, we share the journey of joining God's work in our area and ourselves; and here, you'll find the online diary of the quest. We invite you to join the journey.

Devendra's Story

Devendra Acharya, a native missionary in Nepal joined the Journey this morning. Nepal is a mountainous country (ever heard of Mt. Everest?), and primarily a Hindu culture with a similar caste system to what you would find in India, which it borders. Devendra is the Senior Pastor of Bishram Ministries and founder/director of the Bishram School of Missions located in Kathmandu. Since its inception in 2001 the Bishram Church and school has planted around 45 churches comprised of over 100 house churches representing around 8000 people.

Devendra is one of Bret's classmates, and we were blessed to hear his story of encounter and ministry with the Lord. He points to John 15:16 as his life verse, and today, we were invited into his story and challenged to "go and bear fruit" as those chosen by the Lord.

Bret Wells said...: I wonder, what was the most impacting aspect of this morning's gathering for everyone?

for me it was definitely Devendra's prayer in Napalese before Communion. There was something about that experience that grabbed me. Part of it was, again, the image of all nations and peoples gathering around the throne of Jesus. But there was also something powerful about hearing words like "Christ Journey" and "house church" and "communion" sprinkled in the midst of words that I couldn't understand...and yet understood very well.
