“Join the Journey narrowed its scope of projects considerably in 2021 to exclusively focus on Zambia. While church building and other projects had been part of its past, particularly in Haiti, the organization ceased work there save for a small renovation at the church it helped build there.”

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Spark Coach Program - As both a component of but also a separate accomplishment, the organization was able to recruit, train, and provide connections for meaningful volunteer service for 50-plus business leaders. These leaders would speak to our entrepreneurs in Zambia via Zoom. Individuals participating felt a deep connection with the work taking place in Zambia, grew in their mutual respect for lives in Zambia, and were able to add value from their respective expertise. Our Spark Coach program continues to be a hallmark for meaningful service and mutual benefit for our program on the ground.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Christian Outreach and Poverty Awareness Events - Join the Journey conducted several events that doubled as opportunities to share a message-through Jesus Christ-and also share about our mission in helping empower the poor in Zambia. As a Christian organization, we felt it was important to build community with events that helped inspire and bring people together. Where appropriate, we charged ticket sales to cover costs of the events and also provided information on how participants could give. Our summer concert, Renewal, featured Christian music-artist Jason Gray that was both an in-person event and live-streamed; Gray, who has overcome a stutter and other hardships inspired participants to strive on no matter what - and tied back to our work in Zambia of encouraging that same mentality in those we serve. In all, the three events-Joyful Noise, Renewal, and Joyful Jam-reached more than 10,000 people who either tuned in, saw rebroadcasts, or caught a clip of the events on social media.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc0Fintech Development - Spark: Join the Journey continued to invest in creating software to increase capacity to deliver micro-loans. The beneficiary and donation tool, Spark, required some maintenance in 2021 and so did the accounting tool MIFOS. The organization further developed use of technology to help the loan process in creating a way to deliver the loans to a digital wallet in what was called SparkUp. The organization chose to cease further work in this area due to cost overruns but will continue to use the research to inform other partners in the space and re-engage in this area in future work.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc1Volunteer Mobilization (Impact Tribe) - Join the Journey built a program to engage students and young professionals in the work of JTJ. The program was cancelled after the staff member who spearheaded it left the organization.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc2Non-profit incubator - JTJ launched a support service to help startup non-profits get launched, to include website oversight and consulting on program design. Funds spent in 2021 were used to provide maintenance/further support after successfully fully launching the orphan empowerment organization Aid2Many in 2020.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc3Church Construction and Maintenance - In 2021, using donor-restricted funds for this specific purpose, we conducted improvements on a church the organization had built in 2020 in Haiti. Work done in 2021 included doors and windows to improve security of the church. The church continues to thrive as a result of Join the Journey's efforts there.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc4Compassion - We provided a grant gift to a leader of a partner ministry in Haiti who was beset with a difficult stretch based on the country's instability and troubled economy.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc5Veteran Empowerment - Join the Journey partnered with and utilized the veteran culinary empowerment organization, Chow Corp, during one of its outreach events. Funds here provided for food/labor of those involved.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc6Spark Career - Join the Journey sponsored an intern program to benefit students of Thunderbird School of Global Management. Funds here went to stipend to support the interns during their time in the program.
