Recommendation from Pastor Steve Benninger, Lead Pastor, New Life Church, Gahanna, OH:

"Joyce understand spiritual leadership like few people I know. her discernment and counsel are widely sought both in the U.S. and abroad, and I personally have relied on her insight and advice numerous times. I trust her implicitly."

Recommendation from Dr. Dave Earley, Divinity Professor, Liberty University, Lynchburg, VA, and Joyce's former pastor:

"As Women's Ministries Director at New Life Church, Joyce has developed scores of leaders, established counseling and intercession ministries, hosted high-impact events, and taught life-changing courses.

"She has modeled for our entire church what it means to lead with passion and grace."

Recommendation from Dr. Mara Crabtree, Professor of Christian Spirituality, Spiritual Formation and Women's Studies, Regent University, Virginia Beach, VA:

"For several years, Joyce has been a guest lecturer for masters as well as doctoral level classes in the School of Divinity at Regent University. She often lectures on leadership issues as well as on women in ministry. Her presentations are very well organized, focused, clear, relevant and valuable to our seminary students.

"Joyce's style as a speaker and lecturer is one of interaction with her audience. She is transparent: she is willing to share her own life and faith in ways that connect well with the major themes of her presentations and with her audience's concerns and needs. She is sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit whether she is lecturing, sharing, conducting a teaching seminar or ministering.

"She relates equally well with both men and women and in ethnically diverse settings. Her message is always powerful and relevant to each group. It is obvious that she prepares well, yet has the necessary flexibility to tailor her message for those special moments when a creative approach is needed. The quality of content in her presentation material is excellent, since Joyce has the ability to "cut to the core" of an issue and approach it in a manner that presents the truth with love, integrity and clarity. She uses personal illustrations to advantage.

"Audiences are always impressed by the level of Joyce's integrity, very evident not only from the content of her presentations but from the power of her life and faith as shared through personal illustrations. Joyce is serious about her faith, completely committed to Christ and to His body and will not tolerate compromise of any kind in her own personal life. She is gracious and gentle in ministering to others, yet the power of the truth shared is never compromised in any way. Her excellent writings accurately reflect her life and ministry.

"Joyce is delightful to work with, for she so well understands the collaborative effort that is needed in a classroom, conference or seminar setting. She is very gracious in working with other leaders, always supportive of the issues and concerns of all. It is a privilege to recommend a very respected colleague and woman of God, Joyce Strong."
