Impact.

On Sept. 3, 2006, Shane P. Harris was killed in action during Operation Iraqi Freedom. This devastating loss was a time of unimaginable grief for all those who loved Shane, but with a foundation of deep faith, it also became a pivotal moment for the family. Together, they chose to move forward on a new path – to connect deeply with others in loss, to build relationships based in hope, and to realize new ways to make a difference in the world. That simple family mission led to the establishment of JSTLV in 2015, a charitable endeavor to show love by supporting people in need around the world by building homes and structures to improve their lives.

The mission of JSTLV is accomplished by connecting communities in need with contractors and skilled laborers who donate their talents to assist in building homes and rebuilding lives. Through this action model, JSTLV brings hope to those in need and purpose to those that volunteer to serve.
