Noah and Jill Ellenwood with their children Hazel and Henri are serving Jesus in Montenegro through Josiah Venture.
January marked their 6 th year there. They are working with the local church to reach the youth and young adults in their city. They have seen nonbelievers become new believers, and with encouragement and mentoring, mature believers who are now reaching out to their peers and families with the love of Jesus. This summer they hosted their first group in Montenegro to serve alongside them for a week. A basketball camp brought in a lot of youth and many were anxious to continue thus opening opportunities to model and speak of Jesus. Jill and Noah served as camp counselors at the Josiah Venture Kids Camp for a week, working with the same group of children as last year in Poland.

Haven Of Hope- Haiti
Yearly Mission
Haven of Hope -This is a children’s home in Port-au-Prince, Haiti run by Don

Their spiritual and physical needs are met, even in the midst of gangs. In August 3 of
the older girls moved into their own apartment. They had “aged out” per Haiti rules,
but the ministry has and continues to do a lot to keep them safe and help them be
successful in this new independence. Read monthly updates and learn more at:
