A.W. Tozer wrote, “The love of Jesus is so inclusive that it knows no boundaries.”
As a global resource ministry, Chronic Joy is dedicated to compassionately serving all those affected by chronic illness, mental illness, chronic pain, and disability.
The wide variety of our programs is designed to help meet the needs of all those affected by chronic illness, mental illness, chronic pain, and disability, supporting Chronic Joy’s four core values: prayer, awareness, community, and education.
PRAYER
Prayer was the birthplace of Chronic Joy, and it is the heartbeat of this ministry today. Brennan Manning wrote, “Prayer is first and foremost an act of love.” Prayer sets the direction of each program we offer, and it is how we bless each precious life God touches through Chronic Joy.
AWARENESS
Raising awareness about chronic illness, mental illness, caregivers, marriage, family, trauma, and suicide, including the significant impact of illness on every aspect of life (faith, family, finances, friendships, education, employment, and hobbies), is of primary importance.
RADICAL CONNECTION
Prayer, service, creativity, generosity, and movement are all hallmarks of radical connection, an intentional work that takes time and courage. There are vital opportunities for you to join in the movement and growth of Chronic Joy.
