PROJECTS
JLM Campus
Our current focus is developing the JLM Campus, A 10 acre parcel located in the heart of Penonomé, Panama. The JLM Christian Academy's grand opening school year arrived with great success on August 8, 2022. Our continuing projects include a multiplex campus with the school, founder's home and missionary guest housing. Future plans include a multi purpose building for clinics, outreach events, day camps and educational functions. We welcome groups or individuals to help with all projects underway. Please contact us!
JLM Christian Academy
JLM Christian Academy is part of JLM Christian Foundation, a 501(c3) non-profit organization founded by Marie-Claire (MC) in 2009. At JLM Christian Academy, Faith, Academics and Well-being are at the core of everything that we do. Our first school was launched in 2019 and now is at home on our permanent 10 acre JLM Christian Campus in the heart of Penonomé, offering Pre-K through 12th grade. The Academy is the only school in Penonomé fully dedicated to an English curriculum led by and American school calendar. This unique program including Mandarin, music, and the arts, sets us apart from government and other private schools. Our certified and trained teachers are dedicated to educating our students on a personal level to give them the tools needed to achieve academic success and think critically in a climate of high expectations. We lead by example, mentally, physically and spiritually with encouragement in an uplifting environment to attain complete potential. The support of every family is needed to empower these young people toward maturity in their relationships with God and others. Check us out on Facebook to learn more.
House of Hope Extension
Education through the House of Hope extends to nearby communities here in Panama. We provide disadvantaged young women and young men access to a university education. JLM teaches personal responsibility and builds self-esteem that each will carry with them for a lifetime. Some of the students have obtained drivers licenses and passports that have allowed them to participate in other outreach events. Success has been achieved with 8 graduates obtaining careers.

Build a Home
JLMCF and local volunteers participate in building small block homes for families in critical need. These projects are life transforming for the volunteers that participate and for the recipients of their new homes. We can breathe new life into a families dream for a new future. Come alongside this mission with purpose.
JAM (Jesus and Me) Camps
JLM's primary focus is on making a difference in the lives of children most in need. These mini camps take place throughout the year, day camps, weekend camps and week-long camps for children in Panama. Each camp includes JLM team members and volunteers that lead children in, bible, games, music and more. The day includes snacks, drinks and a meal - something many of the kids do not receive on a daily basis in their normal lives. The goal is to share the love and compassion of Jesus to this young generation and the communities they live in. Let's MAKE A DIFFERENCE together!
