What is Jah-Jireh?

Jah–Jireh is set up to care for elderly & infirm dedicated, baptised Jehovah’s Witnesses in a loving spiritual environment.

The Need for Jah-Jireh

As times grow ever more critical and the pressures of caring for oneself and family increase, there is a growing need here in SA to look after our aged brothers and sisters. Many who are currently in care facilities country-wide find themselves surrounded by those who do not know or love Jehovah.

How Can You Help?

You may have a property to donate for the establishment of a care-giving facility. Volunteers may offer their time and expertise to assist those who are residents. Hairdressers and physiotherapists are some services that will be required. Alternatively, you may have some disposable assets which you would like to use as a donation. Please contact us with your enquiries.

The name Jah-Jireh is scripturally based and essentially means: Jehovah Provides.

Gen 22: 14 says: ” And Abraham began to call the name of that place Je‧ho′vah‐ji′reh. This is why it is customarily said today: “In the mountain of Jehovah it will be provided.

Jah-Jireh Homes have been in existence in the United Kingdom for over 27 years and in Canada for over 13 years. Other homes have been established in South Korea and Poland.

There is a great need for facilities for our elderly and infirm brothers and sisters that cater to their particular needs.

At Jah-Jireh Homes across the world, there are programmes to care not only for the physical needs of our older brothers and sisters but also their spirituality.

Here is just a short list of some of the spiritual activities happening at different Jah-Jireh Homes:

• Days text, daily bible reading and weekly family worship

• Meeting preparation and learning to use the workbook

• Facility to watch the meetings live if unable to attend

• A literature trolley kept in the home for residents use

• Some congregation ministry groups meet at the homes which residents like to sit in on even if unable to go out

• JW Broadcast monthly programme

• Spiritual ‘coffee mornings’ which we are told the residents love

• All homes have arrangements to attend the convention. For those unable to attend, provisions have been made for them to watch live the same weekend or downloaded to watch in separate sessions.

Prayers are offered regularly as and when appropriate or requested by the residents. Many homes also have trustees assigned to each home who regularly visit and spend time listening to the residents and offering support and bible based advice.

We would love to hear from you if you would like to get involved or organise any spiritual activities in the home. Some of our more able-bodied residents get such joy from spending a short time on street work or cart witnessing.

You may want to make a once-off cash donation or even leave donations in your will.  Other brothers and Sisters prefer to use a stop-order to make regular smaller donations to our funds. Contact us to see how you can go about doing that.   On the other hand, you may have a property to donate for the establishment of a care-giving facility. Perhaps you have some disposable assets which you would like to use as a donation.

We are grateful for the contributions and help we receive, whether it be financial or volunteering your time.  Please contact us with your inquiries.

Volunteering

Volunteers may offer their time and expertise to assist those who are residents.

Hairdressers and physiotherapists are some services that are always required. Also, those who are willing to help our older brothers and sisters to read and enjoy some conversation.

Please contact us if you would like to volunteer your time or skills to help.

We regularly arrange fundraising tours to the South African Bethel to help our service grow. Feel free to contact us to find out about the cost associated with visiting the local branch from your area.

If you would like to see the results of the recent extensive building works like the huge shipping department warehouse and audio-visual centre or are interested in the new MAN press then you really should visit our local branch and see all the work that is being done by our hard working brothers and sisters
