Joyful Hearts

I’m excited to announce that my dear friend Samantha Fisher and I have created a brand-new organization called Joyful Hearts!




Joyful Hearts works with small ministries and organizations to help them become more self-sustainable. Basically, that means we connect organizations in Guatemala with resources and people so that they can be even more successful in achieving their mission and vision. We help organizations find sponsors and donors, we connect them to potential volunteers, and we can even help them develop new programs. Our specialty is helping organization get to “the next level” and equipping them to eventually manage that new growth on their own.

Naturally, Guatemala is the first country in which Joyful Hearts will operate. To start out, we’re working with three organizations: Mama Carmen’s Home, City of Children Orphanage, and Champions in Action. But the sky is the limit. Depending on what God’s will is, we could soon potentially begin working with dozens more organizations — in Guatemala and beyond.

Since we're still brand-new, we’ll be presenting our projects in four different states this December. We'll share our vision (plus some ways to get involved). We're also fundraising by selling different items made in Guatemala by locals who are connected to our ministry. The items are already being sold in Indiana, and we're working right now to create a catalog so you can see and purchase them (hint: stocking stuffers).

We're also developing a network of individuals and organizations who would like to have a part in advancing this vision. Would you be willing to share your time, finances and/or connections with us? We need places to host our informational events in December, roofs to sleep under, and leaders to help us promote our vision within their networks. Are you in? Get in touch with me as soon as you’re able!
