My Nonprofit Reviews

Faithfulness is a theme at Jacob’s House. It is one of the chief lessons taught to all who pass through the doors of this ministry to children. The children are taught to be faithful to God, and to the Jacob’s House family; faithful about their schoolwork and their chores; faithful to any commitment they make whether large or small. Faithfulness is held as a principal attribute of strong character.

From a distance, I see the primary way faithfulness is taught is through the daily example of Dan and Penny Koontz lives. The word that best describes them is buoyed. A buoy is an anchored float serving as a navigation mark to show reefs or other hazards. Buoyed in the hand of God is exactly where Dan and Penny choose to place themselves. When storms come, when temptations come, these founders and leaders of Jacob’s House are faithful to stay buoyed to their principals and faith in God that have made their ministry the amazing success it has been over the years. All of the children are taught that they must be faithful to be successful.

Reefs and hazards are inevitable as we navigate the waters of life. Reefs and hazards of life can be an alcoholic or drug addicted parent, abandonment by a mother or father that should have always been there, financial lack, physical abuse, disloyalty and betrayal, troubled and at-risk kids, or a myriad of other painful circumstances.

But staying true to who we are regardless of massive waves, or a broken oar, or a hole in the bottom of the boat is the faithful lesson taught on a daily basis at Jacob’s House.

Stay buoyed to Jacob’s House. Your reward will be the testimonies of the strong, faithful, happy people that are the product of the loving and faithful leaders, volunteers and supporters of Jacob’s House.

If not already buoyed, join up and become part of wonderful organization that gets life changing results!
