{restore, modernize or improve an existing structure}
In March of 2016 The Joshua Tree went under a renovation. Our India Operations Director, Pastor Joseph was asked to consider becoming the director of a girls home that provides shelter for 65 girls age 5 to 18. Some of these girls are orphans, some have been rescued from prostitution and others were once used as slave labor.
After careful consideration and prayer, we and Pastor Joseph felt that this was an opportunity provided by God to serve these young girls in need. So, beginning in May 2016 The Joshua Tree along with Pastor Joseph and his family have become stewards of this very important ministry. The campus where these girls live is owned by a Christian organization in North India and they provide some staff members to help run the girls home along with some financial support. We are responsible for the daily operation of the home, care of the girls, and oversight of the staff and facility.
This ministry is a huge responsibility and our desire is to see these girls grow into young women who will be free from the pain and suffering they endured as children. We also would like to see this ministry grow so that we can provide help to other young girls trapped in similar situations. The girls home is located on 5 acres of land and has multiple buildings in need of renovation. We need sponsors who will help us financially so that we can remodel the buildings, increase our bed space and purchase furniture and other items to make this place into a comfortable home for these girls.
Because of the faithfulness and generosity of our sponsors we are able to continually expand our work in India to children in need. Our children’s slum school programs, ministry to widows and lepers and church planting efforts continue to thrive despite the constant persecution and oppression faced by Christians in India. Our ministry team greatly values your prayers and financial support and we can never say thank you enough for you generosity and compassion. Please share our story with anyone you know who has a heart to help children living in poverty.
Peace and Blessings to you all from all of us at The Joshua Tree.
