How CUTE and AMAZING!!! Dancing donkey 😍
God put a soul (mind, will, emotions) into every beast of the field. We can see this everyday.

And today, we saw it when Esther started dancing! 💃🏻 🫏

Recently, the Joyful Farms team was discussing some things that need to get done to get the ministry fully up and functional!

~The barn is ready but needs finishing for an Accessible bathroom.❤️ ♿️
~ There needs to be cross-fencing, thousands of feet worth.❤️ 🐮 🐴
~ The House of Ministry needs new floors, paint, nap/resting rooms for caregivers, and a sensory room. ❤️ 🛌
~ The perimeter fencing and gates need work. 🙏
~ The chicken coop needs an overhaul to make it fox-proof, visitor friendly, and chicken-happy! 🙏
~ There’s tree-work needed! 😳
~ The small animal habitat could be transformed into a lovely petting zoo 😍
~ and many more projects I won’t mention…

It would save Joyful Farms a TON of money to hire a grounds manager to complete and maintain all of these and many more projects as opposed to hiring companies to contract out these jobs.

In either case, Joyful Farms is so eager to start ministering to families!! We at least need to get the Ministry House and sensory room ready before we start. While we are working on that and waiting on funds, the donkeys are undergoing training so they can do some amazing activities with people!! 😍🙏🙌

If you have questions about the ministry, the projects, or feel lead to support Joyful Farms (all gifts are tax-deductible!) please reach out.

Thanks for your prayers and support! 🙏 We are so grateful!!
