Commitment to Love
We know that all wars might not cease, that poverty will most likely always be with us, that children might continue to suffer. However, we Love regardless. We are committed to lives of Love because the one who has gone before us, Jesus, taught that to love Him is to love one another. And so we Love.

Commitment to Truth
Our primary allegiance is to the Truth of Christ and His life and teachings. Our media, story-telling and intervention advocacy is in submission to His life of love, compassion and
humility. We know that light can scatter darkness and so we go into places of injustice to expose the darkness and allow illumination to happen. Our commitment is to telling full stories; both the beauty and the pain, and to hold unwaveringly to truth. Therefore we do not spin or manipulate the stories.

Commitment to Story
Stories are powerful and we are committed to telling the most compelling stories as creatively as possible. None of these stories belong to us, and so we serve as ushers of their voices, seeking to elevate the ones who are already speaking, and not to speak for them. We are also committed to telling true stories that celebrate the dignity and worth of each person and serve to be reflectors of what is true, including both the good and the evil.

Commitment to Excellence
Each photograph, story, minute of footage, piece of art and effort of advocacy is done with as much excellence and professionalism as possible. We honor the children in-crisis by telling their stories with excellence and protecting victimized children with DTJ’s stringent child protection policies. And we honor each other and God by running Discover The Journey with excellence, including exacting financial accountability. We are grateful to the ones who give generously to our work and are committed to nothing less to see those gifts result in high impact.
