Opportunity for Transitional Housing

Happy summer to everyone! For those of you who don’t live in the Seattle area, maybe you have been experiencing summer. For those of us who live in this area, we were wearing coats until just recently and we are excited about this thing called summer! The weather has not stopped God’s work though. He continues to amaze me as His promises are fulfilled by His amazing faithfulness.

JRC is in the final stages of opening a new transitional housing facility for single moms and their young children. I am busy designing the program. Starting on August 1, I will be taking on a new role as the resident manager of "Morning Meadows".


As a single parent, I have a heart for this precious population. I’m excited to share Jubilee REACH Center’s mission to “Bring Jesus Healing, Create Community,and Transform Lives” to single moms needing a “hand up” to stabilize their lives. At Morning Meadows, we will offer a safe place to call home where they are accepted,loved and encouraged to be all God designed them to be and focuses on three main areas:
1 . Transform lives from dependency to self sufficiency
2 . Education
3 . Employment

They will tuck their children into a bed and there will be food to eat. These are luxuries many of us take for granted. Morning Meadows offers them a fresh start to become stable, functioning families again.

I urge each of you to search your available time, talents, resources and financial support for ways you can make a high impact in the lives of many by taking a risk to serve a mom or child in need. There is lots of opportunity to serve these families in many ways. Please email or call me to plug into the excitement! May you have a wonderful summer. I look forward to hearing from you and serving beside you in this new venture.

Thankful for His promises and faithfulness,
Joy
