Having grown up in Sunday School and church and accepting the Lord in her early twenties, God has continued to grow her. She, along with one of her sisters and brother, recently graduated from bible school, each with Diplomas of Ministerial Studies.
Joyce is active in her local church (of which her father and mother-in-laws are the pastors), teaches, does volunteer work helping the needy in her surrounding communities, while raising one elementary and two college-aged sons.
She, along with sister, Cheryl, have been singing for "some time" together. Although she sings in the church choir, of which she at one time directed, on the church's Praise Team and with "Ministree", she mostly enjoys the "ministering"--the helping people. "A minister is not a title. Ministering is serving -- like a waiter. One of the most important requirements, I believe, God wants us to have is availability. God heard a-l-l-l-l of Moses excuses when He called him. But He did not get angry with Moses until Moses said to send someone else (Gen. 3-4:14). There is much work to be done in the Kingdom--enough for all of us. God needs us to be available to do WHATEVER He needs us to do WHENEVER He needs us."
