About "The Haven"

Update 7/2/2023

God has provided the needed funds to complete the Haven!! The contractor has forecasted the work to be completed by September 2023. Continue to pray for yearly operational expenses.

Our work in Exuma continues to grow! We have partnered with a local church in Mt. Thompson, Exuma Bahamas to build a safe home for women and children, "The Haven". The home will provide many physical and spiritual needs for children and families across our island through the teachings of Jesus Christ. All appropriate permits have been secured, our building plans have been developed and are fully paid for, and we have been gifted with acreage to construct a 3,000-square-foot home that will provide a Christ-centered environment for 6 females and 4 males. The home will also provide accommodations for the live-in matron supplied by the church overseers of Mt. Hermon Union Baptist Church in Exuma.

Psalm 107:29-30

We have recognized our unique and biblically mandated responsibility to care and advocate for those whose voices cannot be heard. It has become an even more significant burden on our hearts in response to the devastation of Hurricane Dorian. This will be a vital resource for our community here in Exuma and it would be an absolute honor to have you partner with us in seeing the Haven become a reality.

About Us

We are the Hughes from Jackson, MS. We are missionaries and humble servants of Jesus Christ. God called us to Exuma Bahamas in 2015 to serve his people and show the love of Jesus Christ to every longing heart. In 2019 the Lord called us to Buford GA, and in 2023 back home to Brandon, MS. We currently travel back and forth to Exuma with teams to serve the island and the local Church. God has placed a burden in our hearts to build a women's & children's safe Haven for the Island of Exuma.
