Joshua House Life Centers is a charitable ministry, founded by missionaries Jim and Sandy McCann, providing children’s homes, orphan rescues, Christian schools, churches, wellness centers, outreaches and
missions in the Ukraine. JHLC ministers to the poor, impoverished, widows and orphans; demonstrating
the Gospel by bringing deliverance to those who are oppressed - in sin, sickness, disease, poverty and
extreme suffering; feeding the hungry, speaking up for those who cannot speak for themselves, bringing
in the lonely, naked and orphaned for adoption and parenting; daily and practically demonstrating the
love of Christ through our Joshua House ministry.

A PLACE OF REFUGE:

We are prayerfully making plans, as our Father and Lord Jesus
lead us, and provide, to build a large structure, for which we already
have the land. We want to fill it with children, worship and prayer, a
school, and a conference center, where we can invite global leaders -true servants of God’s heart -- to help us. It will be an international
missions training center, with health and wellness training, and business
mentoring. Out of “the land of darkness”; missionaries, moms and dads,
and businessmen will be sent out, not only to other villages, but to the
nations with help from this facility.
