JOY Ministries needs $3,000 more to reach year end goal

Please don't look the other way - please give a gift today to help those who are in danger of loosing, or have already lost, their homes in Adair County.

By Maggie Coleman


As of January 8, 2019, J.O.Y. Ministries has raised over $12,000 of its $15,000 goal for our annual campaign. The campaign will end January 31, 2019 so there is still time to give!

It was the amazing Christian man, William Wilberforce, who fought so hard for the abolition of slavery in the British Empire in the 1700s, who famously said, "You may choose to look the other way, but you can never say again that you did not know."

The volunteers at J.O.Y. know . . . Every weekday, our volunteers come face to face with the poverty and addiction rampant in our community, but serve with a smile and a gracious heart.
