Meeting Needs in Jesus' Name
House of Joy is Kensington’s newest Global Partner located in Black Mesa, Arizona near Kayenta on the Navajo Nation Reservation. Pastor JR founded the House of Joy and serves the Diné people (pronounced Di-Nay in the Navajo language and means “the people”) both locally on Black Mesa and throughout the reservation. Pastor JR is leading a movement and seeing lives transformed through his church, the food bank, and service projects completed in partnership with visiting mission teams.
AREAS OF IMPACT
Pastor JR and his son, Al, live out their mission to reach the Diné people for Jesus by investing in the training of new pastors through a seminary program. In addition, they have built a food bank that provides much needed, and hard-to-access food and household goods to the community through his church and a network of churches across the reservation.
