Greetings and welcome to the JOY International website. It is my personal hope that while you are here, you gain a greater understanding of the magnitude and significance of the ministry of JOY. Since 1979 I have had the privilege of traveling the world and ministering to the poorest of the poor. Especially children. I have seen suffering in the worst forms. I saw children living in the streets of places like India and Bangladesh with some close to starvation. I looked into the eyes of child soldiers in Africa (one 12 year old pointing a machine gun to my face). I helped with the rescue of children living in the garbage dumps of Venezuela. I also saw hundreds of orphaned and abandoned babies and children in Russia while also trying to bring a smile to the faces of children who were severely traumatized and lived through the terrorist bombings in Beslan.

I share all this for one reason. With all the tragedy I have seen and all the atrocities I have witnessed against children, what I have come to learn about children who are forced into the child sex trade is (in my eyes) the worst atrocity perpetrated against a child in our world today. Knowing that as I write this there are children as young as 4 years old who are exploited and used for the gratification of depraved men is something that should not be happening in a civilized society and it must be stopped.

It is my sincere hope that you came to our website to learn what you can do. Yes. There are things you can do to help us in our fight against this evil. Look around our site. Learn the truth of this horror against children and make a decision to stand with us. Together, we can bring children out of a life of hopelessness and into a life of JOY.
