Joy In Unity Foundation

Our Passion

Joy In Unity Foundation is a Christian ministry focused on helping those who, through no fault of their own, find themselves with little hope for their future. 

The Foundation's passion is to help people acquire whatever they need to permanently improve their self-sufficiency and quality
of life.  Of course, this can also necessitate healing of wounds incurred by past injustices or rigors of life.

We carry the banner of Christ to children and adults everywhere who need to hear and believe God's message of the redeeming love of Christ.  

When families anywhere are caught in the snares of life, we have found that the most beneficial ways to help them often focus on children, especially on the long-term fundamental needs that are unavailable to so many children. 

At Home:  North Carolina Mountains

We financially assist families in the northwest mountains of NC who are under short-term financial stress beyond their immediate control due to health problems or unemployment.  These are families who have been self-sufficient, but have little ability to absorb the impact of a major, temporary crisis.

Generally, without our assistance, the family unit and the  wellbeing of children are at risk of being badly disrupted.

Our Challenge:  Guatemala

The Guatemalan Maya are very poor, but they are good, strong people.  The Maya have been economically held back and even openly oppressed.  Daily life is hard.  Each day is a fight for survival.  Most of them live in small, mud-brick casas with dirt floors and pallets for beds. 

Children are chronically malnourished and undereducated.  Schooling costs money they don't have, diets often consist of tortillas and beans, teeth fall out during their teens, and clinics are too far off to access without much effort and expense.

Many Maya have little knowledge of Christ's salvation message, but Guatemala is proving to be fertile ground for winning disciples for Christ.

Their faces are indelibly marked in the memories of those of us privileged to assist these good people.  Check them out by pressing the additional "buttons" above.
