The pastors & missionaries of JARON, whether full-time, part-time or volunteer, minister first locally. As well, we disciple local leaders through cross-cultural service projects, in the Central Valley, nationally & through global short-term missions in order to help equip them to better serve the local community. We collaborate with churches, para-church ministries, first responder agencies, local businesses; & together serve poor neighborhoods & leaders without formal biblical education. JARON missionaries continue to serve locally through counseling, encouragement, biblically based materials, Faith Based films, & help for those in need.Program Accomplishments for 2019 2020This year circumstances related to the COVID19 pandemic continue to limit ministry travel. This affects international flights in particular. JARON board members, missionaries and staff followed the COVID-19 guidelines in general and the protocols in particular established for on-site activities.Missionaries and pastors have retooled their ministries to reach the unreached in creative ways. Due to the shelter in place restrictions, JARON ministry events have been cancelled which has allowed time to improve technology resources for remote meetings. JARON received a grant to upgrade our technical abilities & website. This year JARONs Missionaries continued to publish & translate in additional languages The Purity War and is working on two new upcoming books. JARON has been working to increase a short-wave radio ministry based in Guam. The Gospel of John will be broadcast through multiple languages targeting territories such as Siberia, North Korea, Papua New Guinea, and India. This ministry has already been effective. JARON is creating a website for the ministry to share the stories and mission of this digital radio ministry. JARON is working to provide sermons to be translated in other languages & broadcast to Asian countries. JARON continues to use a series of books for Chaplaincy training developed last year for schools, jails & other needs. JARON helps Prison Fellowship Training & the Rescue Mission using TUMI, & helps prisoners reentry into the community. JARON continues working with racial reconciliation ministries. Pulpit supply was provided for several churches. Churches & pastors were mentored & counseled, locally & globally. JARON missionaries helped put together & distribute Thanksgiving Baskets for people in need. Grocery give-aways have also been planned to reach those struggling through our present pandemic and restrictions. JARONs Restart Ministries helped supply families & individuals with needed household items to re-start their lives. We have helped over 122 families & individuals in Placer & Nevada counties start over with household goods, furniture, small appliances, etc. This has included homeless who acquired housing, individuals escaping domestic violence, escaping human trafficking, in recovery, & the elderly moving back to our area, etc. The Restart ministry is helping to change lives. JARON annually provides a chaplain with the Christian Motorcycle Association at the Cross Country Motorcycle run from Sacramento to Washington DC, where he ministers to people in each state. We minister to outlaw motorcycle gang members & families, with a special emphasis toward their children. The annual European Leadership Forum conference held online via Zoom this year. Both Karon and Jim have ongoing ministries related to this annual conference. Pastor wives & other women were mentored & counseled, from the U.S., United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Ukraine & Serbia. In the Czech Republic JARON established a ministry of reaching out to others addicted to pornography. The purpose of his ministry (NePornu) is to raise awareness of the dangers of it and help those who are addicted to it. This is accomplished through online ministries that allow participants to be anonymous as well as small groups and meetings with counselors. Also, in Kenya, Africa Hope Ministries has helped plant 28 Churches & started 8 Christian Schools with over 550 students since 2002. We provide hope & education to over 400 children who would have no hope for education otherwise. Our well drilling project continues. This not only brings clean drinking water to the Academy property, but also makes it possible to irrigate their new farm. The goal is for the farm to produce enough food for the school & market, leading to the goal of becoming self-sustaining. We will be drilling, building a water tower, & praying for the Lord's help & wisdom for many vital decisions affecting future ministries. Ever since the "Gospel Exploded" at the Saruni Village in 2017 when our missionary team showed the "Jesus Film" in Maasai, all of the other Maasai villages in the area have requested that "Africa Hope" will come to them in the same way it came to the Saruni Village. Code3, an outreach to Law Enforcement & first responders worldwide, equipped Peace Officers for more effective leadership service. REEL Ministries coordinates with studios, producers & actors to promote faith based films.
