In China, where faith often comes at great cost, one woman named Joy stands as a beacon of courage. Arrested multiple times, beaten, and humiliated in public, Joy endured imprisonment simply because she refused to renounce Christ. Yet through every trial, she found strength in the presence of God. Rather than cower in fear, she praised Him for His goodness. Her faith inspired others—and today, the church she began with just five members has grown to over 1,000 believers. She also helps lead a thriving Bible school training new leaders to spread the Gospel further. Acts 10:38 (NASB) beautifully captures her testimony:

“You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.”
