Ministry Vision
As a young Christian, I had a vision of a ministry with an open door. I did not understand at that time what God was saying. I believe now he meant a ministry that would remain open to all (denominations and races) and open to Him (open Heaven) our ministry does not exist for itself but for other people.
I believe that the primary role of our ministry should be healing the broken hearted. In our minds, it encompasses the dying to self and the coming to life in Christ.
We have some basic goals and beliefs that drive what we minister to people.

Prayer Quote
With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the gangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.

Dream from 1995
Saturday night May 27, 1995 I woke up in the middle of the night because my neck was hurting. When I looked around the room for the clock, it was not there and nothing in the room seemed familiar. When I looked forward, I realized that my head was at the foot of the bed and my feet at the head of the bed. I have never had anything like this happen to me before or since. I asked the Lord what does this mean and immediately I went back to sleep. I heard the Lord say to me, “I am about to radically change the direction of your life.

How to Pray
Praying for Pastors
Have you ever thought you would like to pray for your pastor but you did not know where to start? On the other hand, maybe you even dismissed the idea thinking your pastor seems to have everything together; he probably does not need prayer. Nothing could be further from the truth we need to pray for everyone in the body but most of all for the ones that function in the office of pastor.

Dishonor
Deut 5:16
16 "Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live long and that it may go well with you in the land the LORD your God is giving you. NIV
LoveJoy Policy
I wanted a way that I could bless the body of Christ, as I was praying I sensed the Lord telling me to start building sites for his Glory. I realized that not everyone would agree with what I teach, but at the same time, I will not compromise what I sense I hear from the Lord. My promises to you if you choose to have me build your site I will not put any reference back to LoveJoy Development on your site not even a Meta tag unless I have your explicit permission. Building websites is not my source Jesus Christ is my source.
