| 13th Annual Golf Tournament A Success By: Steve Lowe, Executive Director We enjoyed spectacular weather an play for our 13th Annual Golf Tournament on Tuesday, October 22nd at Bent Tree. We had 26 teams join us for the day with over 100 golfers participating. Approximately $20,000 was raised to continue making a difference in the lives of those we serve. As our golfers arrived we enjoyed a good lunch and some fun-spirited competitive games with our chipping and putting contests as well as some warm-ups for our golfers on the driving range and putting on the practice green. We then assembled all our golfers for the tourney to begin as I shared with them why they were there. They were there to make a difference in lives like Ethan's. Ethan was a young man who came to us in the late spring of 2018 having just finished up his sophomore year of high school failing most of his classes. While with us, he gained a new vision for his life and not only completed the program but completed two years of high school in a single year and was awarded his high school diploma from The Joy House Academy. He finished the program in the early summer of this year and then went on to work at the local Boys & Girls Club giving back to others. He has enlisted in the Navy as a nuclear tech and is waiting to leave for boot camp in January 2020. |

| Joy House Residents Serve Homeless in Atlanta This month both our girls' and boys' homes went on a service project to Woodruff Park in Atlanta with the Holy Spirit Ranch ministry to pass out clothing blankets and sleeping mats to the homeless along with sharing a meal and a time of worship with them. We are grateful for these opportunities the residents get while in the program to serve others. We trust these experiences will impact them positively for the future. |
