Merry Christmas!

This month we experienced a beautiful "Winter Wonderland" in Jasper, GA. Ms. Ali, Ms. Jane and Ms. Robin were able to trek out in the snow and take some gorgeous photos of our campus. You can view some of their photos in our Facebook album by clicking here. Many of them truly look like Christmas card pictures. These pictures remind us of how God has truly blessed us with a beautiful campus as He is continuing to grow our ministry.

We have copied some of his post below. Thank you, Tyler. We love you and are proud of you.

Christmas Wish Lists

Each year individuals come forward at the holidays to see if there are any “out of the ordinary” needs for our boy’s and girl’s homes. Each home has comprised a special “2017 Christmas Wish List.” Please contact Steve Lowe, our Executive Director, at steve@thejoyhouse.org if you would like to fulfill one of these wishes for our homes or if you had another gift in mind that we may have not thought of. Thank you for your support in making the holidays special for our teens.
