JOY International
Nepal, Uganda & Belize (based in Conifer, CO)
Key Verse: Micah 6:8
Ministry Focus: JOY International is a nonprofit ministry dedicated to preventing child trafficking and bringing freedom, healing, and empowerment to women and children who have been trafficked or are at risk of exploitation. JOY serves in Nepal, Uganda, Belize, and the United States through survivor care, education support, prevention programs, and trauma-informed training. Our work includes providing safe housing and care for survivors, helping vulnerable girls stay in school, equipping caregivers and local leaders, and educating students and communities about trafficking and online exploitation. Through these efforts, JOY seeks to protect the vulnerable and help individuals and families experience lasting hope and restoration.
Please pray:
- that God would raise up a long-term missionary couple who feel called to serve in Uganda to help shepherd and support the emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being of the girls in JOY’s sponsorship program as they pursue education and vocational training.
- for the girls and young women JOY serves in Uganda and Nepal, that they would grow in faith, hope, healing, and confidence as they pursue healing from their past.
- for wisdom, strength, and provision for JOY’s staff and ministry partners as they work to prevent trafficking and care for vulnerable children and survivors.
- that God would continue to open doors for protection, healing, and restoration through JOY’s programs, and that more churches, donors, and volunteers would partner in this work.
