Joy Pedersen

Joy is simply a midwestern gal with a practical outlook on life. She claims to be a sort of nomad, having moved many times throughout the USA. This has given her opportunity to join and observe various cultures, traditions, and churches. Her commitment to the one true God has included being singer, helper, leader, and teacher. Her role has included being employee, employer, wife, mother, and friend.

Through troublesome events and joyous years, her dedication has been to Jesus Christ. Her love for God and people has been an example to many. Her involvement with others is purposeful as she directs, trains, and teaches them. Her aim and desire is to lead them into and disciple them through a peaceful life with God and people. All this is evident to those she serves.

In 2014 she began a non-profit ministry called Clear Hope. Using the Word of God for teaching she encourages healing and restoration for heart and soul. As this happens, the restored pass on the message of life and hope to others. Many have become un-stuck with renewed hope because of this ministry. Seeing and claiming one's identity in Christ makes this possible for now and eternity.

Out of her wealth of knowledge and insight, the Lord has led her to write a series of five books on the condensed and greatest commandments Jesus revealed on earth. This is the call for everyone: "Love the Lord God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength - and your neighbor." The first book is "The Heart of Love" and the second "Loving with All our Soul". Currently the book focused on loving with our mind is being written.
