Dear Friends of Fathers Joy,
2004 was the beginnings of Father’s Joy! Our first born’s name is Abigail and means “father’s joy.” Bridget and I have purposed in our hearts to bring joy to our Father’s face with everything we do. Music, missions, and mentoring is the heart of how we operate.
Our journey has been quite adventuresome but not without many victories and accomplishments for His kingdom! We have been a part of mentoring and sending young worship leaders on to lead congregations all over the United States, we have been a part of planting churches here in the United States and Honduras, we have been a part of helping Integrity Music get their music to the world and our music has been sung in many different nations. We boast in the Lord with these things – its all for Him !
Currently we are in the Northwest serving as Executive Pastors at Church for All Nations as well as leading area-wide nights of worship and prayer. Our heart is to see the nations worship!
Recently we have been praying and seeking God on what’s next for Father’s Joy. Although we are still waiting on the Lord in some areas we believe the Lord has been given us an opportunity in the area of “missions” to help further God’s Kingdom in Honduras.
We are excited to let you know that we will be partnering with David and Nohemy ( she has been our translator/preacher in Honduras since 2007) to help them build a ministry house that will be a hub for missions teams in Rio Maria. This house will provide ongoing ministry to the poor and needy the widows and orphans in the region of Rio Maria and beyond.
In 2007, we planted a church ( many of you were a huge part of this ) in Honduras which has just celebrated it’s 10 year anniversary. Pastor’s Omar and Nora Morazon and their leadership team have done a tremendous job in reaching the community of Sambo Creek. This past January their VBS hosted over 350 kids that heard the gospel. We are grateful for them and their service furthering God’s Kingdom.
Now we have another opportunity just a few miles down the road in Rio Maria, Honduras.
Construction has already started and we would like to have our first team from the United States in 2017 of this year.
It’s a large vision but David and Nohemy are called to spend most of their time in Honduras ministering to the needs of the people in Rio Maria as well as partnering with other ministries in the area to help the hurting and broken learn about Christ but also to help them get back on their feet back into society in order to make the light of Christ brighter.
Thank you for loving and supporting us through the years – we desire to see Him overtake you with His love and that you would operate in freedom as you live out His plan for your lives.
Blessings,
Mark Moses
