Meet Navy veteran Adam Cole of Arlington, VA. Both as an enlisted Sailor and a Naval Officer, Adam served in the Navy in the Public Affairs Office (PAO).
Join the Journey (JTJ) is a Christ-centered empowerment organization that seeks to uplift entrepreneurs facing extreme poverty by helping them launch businesses. JTJ formed in 2009 as an advocacy-through-media organization with a heart for Christ and compassion for the least.JTJ's focus shifted to Haiti when founder Adam served in the earthquake relief efforts with the U.S. military and returned in September 2010 with JTJ. On that 2010 trip, he came in contact with the needs of the tent village of Capvva, a camp of displaced and homeless Haitians. Capvva members eventually received grants from the U.N. to relocate but the experience of serving in the depths of poverty has forever shaped the organization. We remain committed to uplifting—now through micro-loans—the poorest of the poor.
We exist to serve the ‘least of these’ by restoring hope and dignity. We have formed a band of brothers & sisters—the majority of whom have served and still serve in the military—to go to remote villages where three meals a day is a luxury. Our model is simple: provide seed capital and business mentorship to mothers, widows, and dedicated dads who will sacrifice everything to feed their families. We partner with the local church who equally share love and compassion with those in the community—leading to individual growth in Jesus Christ.
