January 20-27, 2023 Recap
Since 1999, Harvest Hands Ministries has touched lives for Christ in Mexico. Harvest Hands Ministries’ vision is to create a loving environment where the poor and destitute people of Mexico may find comfort and solace both physically and spiritually through our various programs with an emphasis on the needs of children. Currently our focus concentrates on the Resplandor De Vida Children’s home located near the City of Juarez, Mexico.
Harvest Hands Reflection by Susan VanWyhe
This was my first trip to the Resplandor De Vida Children's home. God-willing it will not be my last.
New places and experiences are filled with adventures. Regardless of the activity, the team, children, and people of Mexico worked together for a terrific week. I was a newbie who felt welcomed by a seasoned team who dedicated themselves to the needs of Respandor DeVida Children's home.
Relationships are born through time and shared experiences. The bonds here are strong. But it is like two-sided tape. Someone let’s say a “newbie” is quickly adhered to the two sides of this tape. You fit wherever you are supposed to fit. For Jorja Voss it was the production of a beautiful mural. Her talent will bless so many children. The mural bears the cross and the hands of children that will undoubtedly bloom at the Resplandor De Vida Children's home. This is a place with no preconceived expectations to perform or produce. God knows you just need to be open, flexible and perhaps, a decent card player.
A JFA trip provides an opportunity to experience God where He is at work. Can mission work be accomplished anywhere? Yes, in our hearts, our homes, our communities, our nation and our world.
Where is God calling you?

February 12-18, 2022 Recap
Voice of Calvary (VOCM) has been reaching out and rebuilding lives in the West Jackson community for over 40 years. This is a community which was birthed and still experiences the injustice and poverty of race, economic barriers, and broken government programs. You will see, experience, and begin to understand how this has greatly affected people’s lives, but through ministries like VOCM they are bringing hope and unity to people's lives and neighborhoods. Projects may include working on a ministry project or building, helping fix up a veteran’s home, food distribution, programs for the homeless, and more.
Reflection from Kelly VanderPol
I went to Voice of Calvary Ministries in Jackson, Mississippi. VOCM is located in Jackson’s inner city. From ensuring that families have nutritious food to providing parenting classes and support groups to encouraging people to reach their God-given potential, VOCM’s dedicated staff work with the people who live in the neighborhoods that make up West Jackson. This year, the group from JFA packed food boxes for the ministry’s food program. We also painted the area where the ministry’s social workers have their offices. After a fresh coat of paint, we were able to decorate the space with décor that was packed from JFA.
It was so good to see and reconnect with people who continue to live and work in Jackson.

Jackson County Ministries was formed in 1979 and took over the management of the Annville Institute Campus. In 2016 the name was changed to Grace Covenant Ministries. Join JFA in March to partner with Grace Covenant. The service projects range from house construction to house repair, plumbing, painting, electrical work, roofing, or whatever needs to be done to make life a little better for the homeowner.
Grace Covenant Reflection by Larry Hoekstra
Our group of ten consisted of people from three states, with ages ranging from 10-75. It was gratifying to see fathers working with their son or daughter in this environment.
The campus of GCM provided a great location for our service trip. Annville is located in Jackson County and is one of the poorest counties in the country. The lodging was good, and the meals provided were great!
On Sunday we had the privilege of worshipping with some of the staff and members of a local church. Worshipping together provided an opportunity to become acquainted key individuals that we would be working with in the coming week.
Our group really enjoyed the people we were able to interact with.
Our Sunday afternoon of sightseeing provided an additional perspective of this area.
Work projects included roof demolition, electrical updates, cleaning, painting, siding removal, and the laying of new flooring.
There was not an end to the work that could have been completed if more volunteers were available.
The team was definitely blessed by being on this project! The local people who also worked were impacted. They were extremely appreciative of our efforts.
We developed new friendships and look forward to the next time we can be the hands and feet of Jesus!
If you have an opportunity to serve in this way, we strongly recommend it!

Arise! Ukraine
Kiev/Boyarka, Ukraine (Eastern Europe),
Earlier this year, JFA had planned on partnering with Arise! Ukraine at Crosswinds Youth Camp in Boyarka, Ukraine. Due to the conflict in Ukraine, taking a trip there is no longer feasible. Since the onset of the conflict, the Arise! Ukraine team has been able to use funds from America to purchase supplies at the Ukrainian/Moldavian border. Most aid is given to women and child refugees who have been driven from a country they love. Upon receiving the material supplies, the team has been able to share the Gospel of Christ. In the midst of terror and hardship, Christ still shines.
Please continue to pray for the people of Ukraine and Russia. If you are led to donate to Arise!Ukraine and would like updates, click on the link below:
