One of the real blessings of our ministry is watching how God moves in the lives of people once they’ve been exposed to the plight of children around the world. Jason Cruise went to Moldova for the first time this summer and returned with his heart broken for the orphaned …
I have been involved with JMI since the first of my five trips to Moldova in 2006. The first trip started off on a dare with another man in my church, that if he went, I would go along on a construction team. That trip has changed both of our lives with my friend eventually taking into his home an orphan from Moldova.
My wife Jessica and I were the typical American family. We have two young boys, a dog, and a schedule that constantly keeps us moving. We are active church members who also volunteer our time in the music and children’s ministry. This was our “comfort zone”. It wasn’t until late …

Here are two questions God asked in the Old Testament that ripple down through the ages with hurricane force to you and I today: Where are you? Who will go for us? The first was asked of Adam and Eve while hiding from God in the Garden of Eden. They …
Dear JMI Friends, On behalf of our staff; our orphan friends in frozen Moldova; our impoverished children in Red Hill, South Africa; our tribal friends in the jungles of Brazil; hundreds of Christian leaders from all over Ecuador; and our newest and youngest friends from the orphanage in Jacmel, …
