The Goal:
The focus of The Joy Movement is to promote a joyfully lived life everyday! To create smiles that alter negative perspectives and to encourage others. The Joy Movement is more than just an outreach, it's a way of life, and we encourage you to live it out too!
Ephesians 3:14-19
"For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge- that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."
