​​Joy to the World Foundation Thailand (JTTWF Thailand) started in early 2000 by Bill and Mary Lee Moritz. In the beginning, it was only Breanna’s House of Joy. The home was named in memory of their youngest daughter, Breanna Joy, who was tragically killed in an automobile accident. Before her death at age 12, Breanna was already an aspiring humanitarian with God-sized dreams, one of which was to adopt several “street” children from Asia. 

​

Breanna’s House of Joy is a love story about the Moritz family’s pursuit to honor Breanna’s legacy of Kingdom-living in a broken world.

​

 

This quest to make a difference in a broken world brought them to Thailand where they came face to face with the ugly underbelly of human trafficking. Seeing girls as young as twelve years old forced into prostitution while simultaneously grieving their devastating loss became the catalyst for Breanna’s House of Joy.

 

What started off as a desire to help young girls stay out of the underground economy has gradually morphed into a wholistic program that focuses on restoration, education, and opportunity that is impacting the next generation in profound ways!

 

 

But, this story is not just one family’s experience of loss and healing.

 

 

Our organization is a beautiful illustration of all who have contributed in small and large ways to bring us to this present moment, and a testament to God’s faithfulness to see his people rescued and restored by his great love!
