INTRODUCING JOANNE

Workshop 4: Downstairs - Youth Group - Room 2

God has given me a heart for women to know that they are deeply loved by Father God and that He delights in them. This has developed over 3 decades. In this time He has led me, opened my eyes, taught me to hear His voice, walked with me and shaped me in the desert periods. He has placed me in environments, some work-based. others church-based, to see first-hand the disfunction that deep trauma and brokenness can bring. I have watched women robbed of life and merely exist, and have also seen where God's love sets women free to start the journey of walking into their destiny.

I have worked as a Community Development Worker, Health Service Commissioner, Health and Social Care Manager, Key worker with victims of human trafficking and also in a Christian Recovery Programme. In church, I have been part of children and youth work, prayer ministry and with my husband have led home groups. To my experience, I have added academic study having a MSc in Public Health, PGCE in Health and Social Care and attended Deeper Bible School at the Well Church in Sheffield.

My experience and study have led me in 2022 to write and deliver the Delight Course –‘For women to know that they are deeply loved by Father God – they are His Delight'. I am also the founder of ‘Delight ministry’.

Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised
