EMBRACE aka JOA Ministries, exists to empower women in diverse ways to fulfill their God-given purpose on earth through their roles of motherhood, wife, sister, friend, neighbor, grandmother, professional, widow, mentor, volunteer, or student; and to encourage the body of Christ in general through teaching of God's Word, Music, Books, and all available means.
Women all over the world share the same challenges regardless of their color, culture, or religious affiliation. They experience broken hearts, tears, disappointments, death, joy, happiness, hope, hopelessness, pain, stress, depression, broken marriages, friendships, and the list goes on and on.
“He will take me all over the world to preach the gospel in music and He will bring me before Kings and Princes”.
The substance of the vision is entrenched in, and directly related to the words:
And He said to them, Go into all the world and preach and publish openly the good news (the Gospel) to every creature [of the whole human race]" Mark 16:16 (AMP).
And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen" Mark 16:20 (KJV).
My mission is to impact this generation with the truth of the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ which includes: the good news of salvation, hope, renewal, restoration, peace, unity, reconciliation, revival, healing, freedom, deliverance and liberty. All these encompass inner healing of spirit, soul and body.
“However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me – the task of testifying to the gospel of God’s Grace” Acts 20:24 (NIV).
Ministry of Reconciliation and How to live for Christ
2 Corinthians 5:11-21
1. To persuade others, as our fearful responsibility to the LORD
2. Answer those who brag about having a spectacular ministry rather than having a sincere heart.
3. We are saved to bring glory to God.
4. Christ love controls us.
5. We do not live to ourselves rather; we live for Christ who died and was raised for us.
6. We evaluate others from Christ point of view.
7. Anyone who belong to Christ is a new person, and the old life is gone, and a new life has begun.
8. God as a gift, brought us back to Himself through Christ.
9. Our God-given task is to now reconcile people to Him; just like God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself, no longer counting people's sins against them. 10. He gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation - For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ. 11. We are ambassadors of Christ. 12. God is making His appeal through us. 13. We plead for Christ when we plead, "Come back to God!”.
