Thank you for considering teaming up with us to support the "U-Turn" (at 5 SE 11 1/2 St..... formeraly Quality Woods). A mission of Journey Church. The U-Turn will be an evangelistic ministry that will focus on creating an environment where people can connect, relationships can develop, and hopefully find their way to Jesus Christ. The U-Turn , will be a public expression of our love for our city and it’s people. To the public this outreach center will look like a coffee shop or cafe, but in reality the U-Turn will be a relationship building site. Most of the relationships that we hope to build at U-Turn are with people who would never walk into a regular church building. This Cafe has a unique opportunity to develop long-term relationships with people in need, students, and business people along with visitors from all over the world seeking medical help and healing. Our potential for impact and lasting life change is much greater than what we could normally do on a Sunday morning at the Chateau Theaters (where we currently rent space and worship on Sunday mornings), especially from a spiritual perspective because we can develop long term relationships. Many of the people that we hope to serve, may finally have a chance to really hear the truth of God’s grace and love, and come to know Jesus Christ personally. It is our prayer and hope that these relationships would grow and many hundreds, thousands would come to know Christ and eventually call Journey their church family. The U-Turn has the potential to create a unique setting for the Churches of Rochester to partner together through concerts and special events. The teaming up with various churches from different denominations, has unknown potential and may show the real love of God in powerful way. Our need for funding is great and very real. Leasing any site is a bold step of faith for a church. Leasing, renovating a site at the heart of the city (Hwy 63 & Hwy 14) is even bolder and often more expensive. Yet, God has already been clearing the way for us to lease this amazing site, at the orignal crossroads of Rochester at well below market value. Your generous financial donantions will help us step into this God-size opportunity. See for yourself and catch some of the vision by watching part of a recent Sunday morning message sharing the vision and rapid movement of God on this dream  Go to our Facebook page and use this link...... http://www.youtube.com/v/2jvNq-2Q78E   

Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Pastor Rich Bontrager Journey Church
