Joshua House at IDADEE

In 1977, two young women of God, Alice Wise and Kathy Gouker, embarked on a short term mission trip to the EBAC Orphanage in Cap Haitian, Haiti. Instead of returning, they stayed at EBAC to help raise the orphans in a Christian environment. Several of those EBAC orphans, the “Haitian Team”, who are now adults also wanted to stay and give back. Their vision - to build another orphanage to help the staggering number of other orphans and that vision has become a reality, it is IDADEE Orphanage. The Joshua House Missionary Lodge at IDADEE stems from the need to have a place to accommodate missionaries to stay and assist and serve at the IDADEE Orphanage and its surrounding community. The Haitian Team has distinct abilities and the trust in the community to make a significant impact ultimately in the country for good through Jesus Christ. We invite you to come see how God is working at IDADEE and stay at The Joshua House Missionary Lodges at IDADEE. For more info: www.thejoshuahouse.org
