Hello everyone,
My name is Joy, also known as Desta Joy. Fun fact -Desta is an Ethiopian exact translation for Joy. God has given me double joy! 🙌

I am 53 years old and am engaged as of last August. I have 7 children, 6 grandchildren, and countless spiritual children. I'm also a foster and adoptive mom.

I'm a teacher ( secular and spiritual) of children and adults. I'm continuing my education with Christian Leaders Institute. I don't know who this is for but IT'S NEVER TOO LATE!! 🙌

God has blessed me with a ministry of healing called JoyFull Noize which is currently covered by Omega Fire Ministries Buffalo, Ny. JoyFull Noize is a mobile ministry where we "get down and dirty" with the people!! We literally go all over meeting needs and spreading the Joy of Lord. We started online 7 years ago. Our goal is to show ppl that no matter the darkness, you will sing again! You will recover and make a JoyFull Noize unto the Lord!!

  • Hello everyone. I have decided to step out on faith and stop waiting for ppl to help. Year after year I feel convicted because I'm not doing what God gave me the vision to do.
    So I'm having Vacation Bible School at my home starting next month . I'm nervous because it's just me and I need more adults. I included a volunteer form for the parents.
    I'm still very excited!
    Week 1 Apple of God's Eye
    Week 2 Jesus, the Ultimate superhero
    Week 3 Lemons to Lemonade
    There will be a craft, song and a snack directly related to the them for that week. In addition to VBS, I'm offering to transport groups to Camp. imIve been doing this for many years. I'm still believing God for a bus. Right now I have to take small groups of 3-4 all Summer..
    When I was 14 I gave my life to Jesus in VBS!! It will always hold a special place in my heart!

  • Good morning. I'm asking for prayer for my body. I went to my doc who sent me to emergency thinking I needed my Gallbladder out. They did a series of tests and each came back negative. The docs are thinking Ulcer. Im home and still in pain.
    I'm trying to not think negatively. I missed one of my teens Prom. I have 2 more to see off and my 3 girls are graduating. Lord please reveal what is going on in the inside!

  • Many are so excited about Pentacost. I suggest really reading what the Bible says about speaking in tongues. Tongues just means language. When everyone was in the Upper Room they spoke other KNOWN, human, learnable languages. The miracle wasn't that they spoke in tongues, it was that theysl spoke on tongues WITHOUT EVER LEARNING.
    The tongues spoken about in Corinthians is your personal prayer language. The KJV puts the word unknown in italics. That means it was not part of the original text. it was inserted to help us understand. Also fruit = evidence. Galatians 5:22 list the fruit (evidence) of the Spirit. Tongues is not listed. Speaking in tongues is a gift not and evidence.
