Work is continuing on JoyHouse in preparation for the team arriving this weekend. The projects to get the house ready are going well. If everything continues, teams may be staying INSIDE the house by June! That will really be great, as the heat will become a big factor around that time.
We are hoping to continue the breakdown and removal of the rubble on the church site next week, as well as continuing other construction projects. We are so grateful for the teams coming to help right now. These projects as critical to helping the community get some sense of normal back into their daily lives.
The transitional housing fund has enough for 3 homes, and we are still fund raising to be able to provide more. Depending on timing, we may get to build the first two transitional shelters next week.
Ron Harris brought a great tent last week for Benito and his family, so that has eased one burden in our group. Thank you for that answered prayer! Ron will be back on March 18th with a team!
There has been a lot of rain lately. Saturday it rained most of the day.
About JoyHouse
- Haiti JoyHouse
- JoyHouse began in 1996 when we saw a tremendous need in Haiti. Children that reach a certain age are sent out of the orphanges onto the streets. We started with 12 boys. We took them in and provided for their physical needs, sent them to school and began to minister to each child’s spiritual needs. Now, JoyHouse Ministries has a mission center that serves as headquarters for the church started by the ministry, as well as the mission teams. We currently serve four area churches and two orphanages. We are working to spread the Gospel of Jesus in Haiti. Our goal is to help support and encourage ministries in the area. With your help, we plan to do even more!
