COME AND JOURNEY WITH ME by Evangelist Dr. J. L. Birks
COME AND JOURNEY WITH ME
Come and journey with me to feed the hungry throughout the world,
Those who are destitute, desolate, broken down, and oppressed,
Those who long to see and feel some light of hope,
Those whom Jesus Christ walked among, loved, touched, and blessed.
Come and journey with me to feed the hungry throughout the world,
Many cry out from North America, South America, Africa, and Asia - all in pain,
Yet, listen closer to the moans and groans from Europe and Australia, as well.
Hurry, let's spread nourishment throughout the land like a springtime bringing hope of light, abundance, and rain.
Come and journey with me to feed the hungry throughout the world,
For our journey here on earth is but only for a while,
So, let us rise up for we have great work to do,
Before we gather as heirs to God's Kingdom to celebrate the splendor of our final mile!
Original Poem by
Evangelist Dr. Johnnie L. Birks
Spring of 2015
Church of the Holy Sepulchre - Location of Tomb of Christ
Christian Pilgrimages
I, Evangelist Dr. J. Birks, look forward to hosting inspiring iconic CRUISES/TOURS/PILGRIMAGES and crossing cultures with adventurers throughout historic lands of the world. I will head each adventure, as the Tour Host/Historian, while working closely with seasoned on-site tour guides.
These photos, from Israel's incomparable Holy Land, are my contribution to your visual experience of the Holy Land along with contributions from my dear friend from seminary, D. Elliott, MDIV. With God's grace and the fullness of the Holy Spirit, we were moved to explore many authentic sites throughout this inimitable landscape. God's inspiring Spirit, through Christ, calls me to return again and again.

Pilgrims can explore first century burial chambers beneath the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem.
. . . or is this the Tomb of Jesus Christ?
Is it the sacred Garden Tomb?
Garden Tomb - is a created rock cut site in the Christian Quarter, outside city walls of the Old City of Jerusalem, and an archaeologist's find in 1867, but arguably dated to 8th – 7th centuries BCE among some archaeologists
Controversy among scholars and historians continue as to which site is the authentic Tomb of Jesus Christ.
Some of my pilgrim group members ponder this thought at the Garden Tomb in the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem.

OUR BEGINNING AND EVOLUTION
MIRACLE LOAVES AND FISHES W.H.M., INC.
LIVE A LIFE OF CHARITY & LOVE
Grace and peace, beloveds. I am Evangelist Dr. Johnnie L. Birks, the founder and CEO of Miracle Loaves And Fishes World Hunger Ministry, Incorporated.
We organized in the year 2015, after I was led by a VISION from GOD, to help eliminate world hunger. We are expanding worldwide, as we continue to focus on hunger in the United States. Our current fundraising efforts help fund Feeding America food banks (food banks throughout the United States) and, as of 2023, Feed My Starving Children global food banks (food banks throughout 5 continents) are also receiving our funding. Currently, our funding supports the availability of fresh food and humanitarian services to over 100 impoverished countries, across 5 continents, throughout the world. All official partnerships are continuously updated for public disclosure. Thank you for your support!
JESUS FEEDS FIVE THOUSAND
at western shore of Galilee
Matthew 14:14-21; Mark 6:34- 44; Luke 9:12-17; John 6:5-13
JESUS FEEDS FOUR THOUSAND
at eastern shore of Galilee
Matthew 15:32-39; Mark 8:1-9
OUR VISION is to make every day, which we enjoy the gift of life, a day to aid and comfort the destitute, desolate, broken down, and/or oppressed throughout the world, with the light of hope.
OUR MISSION is to reach the destitute, desolate, broken down, and/or oppressed throughout the world with love, faith, humanitarian services, and food supplies. Inspiration comes from the Bible, God’s Word, particularly the four Gospels (New Testament), which reveal the miracles of Jesus Christ, teaching and healing the masses, along with feeding thousands with few loaves of bread and even less fish.

LIVE A LIFE OF CHARITY & LOVE
My desire to help others began during childhood as I witnessed and aided my mother donating food to itinerant workers occasionally journeying through our community from the nearby interstate.
My parents taught me to give without expectations and to give from the love, compassion, and generosity, within my spirit - to help others in need. I walk in the fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-25) and I invite all to walk with me. Come, come and journey with me!
C H A R I T Y
(King James Version)
(Some versions use the word "LOVE")
1 Corinthians 13:3 KJV
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and HAVE NOT CHARITY, IT PROFITETH ME NOTHING.
13:8 CHARITY NEVER FAILETH . . .
13:13 And now ABIDETH FAITH, HOPE, CHARITY, these three; but THE GREATEST OF THESE IS CHARITY.

After my first spectacular and spiritually inspiring pilgrimage to the inimitable Holy Land, alive with the presence of God Most High, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, I knew I was called to this mission as I discerned the vision and voice of God. I explored the widely accepted burial tomb of Jesus Christ in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre located in Old City Jerusalem and the 14 stations of the path walked by Jesus Christ to his crucifixion at Calvary/Golgotha, just outside Old City Jerusalem. This path is known as The Way of The Cross (in Latin as Via Dolorosa - "Sorrowful Way/Road" ). I also explored evidence of Solomon's Temple encapsulated in the second temple site/ruins at the Temple Mount (Wailing Wall). I journeyed through Tel-Aviv, Bethlehem, Canaan, Nazareth, Caesarea Maritima, Capernaum, Mount of Beatitudes, Mount of Olives, City of David, The Upper Room of the Last Supper, Pool of Bethesda, Jericho, the abandoned Essenes' caves of Qumran where Dead Sea Scrolls were found, and more. I walked along the shores of the Dead Sea, the Jordan River, the Sea of Galilee, and explored more of Israel's authentic holy sites.
GOD'S gift of VISION led me to establish Miracle Loaves And Fishes World Hunger Ministry, Incorporated as a formidable 501 (c) 3 nonprofit philanthropic organization and charitable contribution to humanity to help eliminate world hunger.
GOD'S VISION eventually inspired me to create a viable funding source to expand this ministry by creating M. L. A. F. Tours With Dr. J. Birks, guided by EVANGELISM. We offer affordable group TOURS/PILGRIMAGES as we cross cultures into historical lands and sacred HOLY SITES throughout GOD'S CREATION. These sacred sites confirm the AUTHENTICITY, AUTHORITY, AND INSPIRATION OF THE BIBLE.
We continually make disciples of Jesus Christ for those who are ready to be transformed into new creations on their earthly journeys, spiritually awakened, spiritually cleansed, spiritually restored, and spiritually healed through God's love, grace, mercy, and salvation through Jesus Christ. Our authentic and inspiring M L A F Tours With Dr. Johnnie will help FUND THIS MINISTRY AND WILL BRING THE BIBLE TO LIFE as we cross cultures and host pilgrimages throughout historical and holy sites within Asia, Africa, Europe, and more.
