My Journey with Jesus Joy Dawson

My life's calling as a missionary and prophetic Bible teacher to 55 nations was against all odds! I came from a denomination that didn't believe a women should even pray in church in the presence of men - let alone teach them Biblically! My wonderful dad was a strong leader in that denomination.

I had no peers.

When I started out in 1971, I found a book that had just been written about Dr. Henrietta Mears, who was a woman Bible teacher of depth who greatly influenced both evangelist Billy Graham and Bill Bright, as young men. Bill was the founder of "Campus Crusade for Christ International," now known today as CRU.

Dr. Mears had recently died, but the account of her powerful ministry to key spiritual leaders encouraged me.

The unpredictable soon became the normal. Against all odds as a woman I was pioneering a role of ministering full time alongside male spiritual leaders.

I have taught extensively on television and radio. My eight books, as well as audio and video tapes have been translated and distributed world wide.

You were born to live a life of fulfillment, but unless you allow Your Creator God, (who knows and understands you better than yourself) to take charge and give you His orders as a way of life, you will never experience total fulfillment.

My God given love for adventures, including the dangerous, and the unknown, were amazingly fulfilled only as I kept saying "Yes" to Jesus, in obedience to the ministry calling He had given me.

Be prepared to be amazed, to laugh, to cry, and to be challenged to live on the cutting edge regardless of the cost, as a willing bond slave of Jesus Christ.
