Two of the men who are working construction arrived yesterday from Georgia, so things are busy around JoyHouse today. Early this morning they were finalizing plans for more repairs. The wing walls built to stabilize the house are finished. Those are critical to provide continued support for the house.
Yesterday, a few men were working at Benito's church to do some repairs and build a much needed bathroom. That will help their community a great deal!
Still no food distribution in the areas near us, but we are doing what we can for the people in our churches.
Most of the focus this week will be in preparation for the teams we have coming this weekend! Pray for us as we get ready to receive these teams. Pray for the teams as they travel. As always, we pray for safe travel, and ease of getting through all the travel issues that can sometimes accompany the trips into Haiti! There is so much to do, pray that each of them will be prepared and we will all be effective and able to accomplish much in the coming days.
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!

Praying and still communicating to my friends and family the need for prayer support.
ReplyDeleteFather God, you have prepared these people to do Your work, I pray strength and perserverance as they carry out Your plan, even until the Salvation of Your children. Father, thank you for providing, we are believing You will be glorified thru the footsteps of these lovers of Christ. In His name I pray, AMEN.
