J O Y  B R O W N MINISTRIES

Her name “Joy” says it all. An author and a popular speaker for women’s groups, churches, schools and businesses, Joy Brown has been referred to as a “program planner’s dream.” Through the written word and spoken word, her presentations cover a wide range of topics, always Biblically based and filled with practical principles for everyday life. Joy Brown is a gifted Bible teacher, a certified Personality presenter, an entrepreneur, a dramatist, and an interpreter for the deaf. In addition to her personal speaking engagements through Words of Joy, she is also a member of the speaking team, “Women by Design.” Joy’s casual style immediately puts her audience at ease and leaves them feeling as if they have always known her. Yet, at the same time, she maintains a professional delivery. This combination is rare and is an asset for any size group. A minister’s wife for thirty-five years, Joy is the mother of two daughters, Meri Beth (married to Thomas Howard) and Molly (married to Christman Howard.) Joy is grateful that her family shares often in the ministry of Words of Joy. She and her husband, Wayne, lead various types of retreats, seminars, and workshops on the local, state and national levels. In addition, Joy and her daughters, Meri Beth (a dramatist) and Molly (a musician) have co-led conferences creating a unique mother/daughter team. A former teacher of academically challenged students, Joy specialized in education for the hearing impaired. In 1995, she created and developed a popular cookie bouquet business, “Joy-Full Cookie Baskets.” Joy Brown is a graduate of CLASS (Christian Leaders, Authors, Speakers Services) and She Speaks, the speakers’ training of Proverbs 31 Ministries. All of these experiences combine with Joy’s deep love for God’s Word to enable her to present programs that are informative and inspirational, educational and encouraging, teaching and tender. Experience the “joy” of planning a program that will become a memorable event.
