I met you many years ago in California. It was just before my deployment U. S. Navy. Your faith was a joy to see. My wife over many years has had many surgeries and you both share a never ending Faith in our Lord Jesus. Through those many years, my wife found little ones who had things like Spinal damage and other medical things and needed a God Loving touch and would baby sit so the mother could go to work. I was deployed 9 years out of 13. God Bless your family and your ministry. From Jack and Winnie. ❤️🙏📖
Thank you, Joni. For your message of hope. For the hope in Christ that shines out of you! I am praying for you 3:00 a.m. EST that God's peace rests on you in a palpable way.
My son is unemployed and is on the verge of losing everything and he has a nine year old son!! Please pray for us that God would see us through this darkness and somehow we would have hope!!
Oh Cindy, it hurts our hearts to hear of all of the hardship that your son is facing. Our prayers are with you that you would see the hand of God moving in your family's situation - bringing his light, provision and hope in abundance to your family. If we can encourage you, please email us at response@joniandfriends.org.
May Love Jesus Christ fill our lives with His Spirit, Overflowing our Heart and Soul each day. This in both good days and those that seem to be so dark. Yet our Lord can and does fill us with an undeniable Joy! Prayers, Unceasing to each and all! May Our Lord continue to spread this Joy that He has touched you with. May His Spirit bring Revival, to each of us and to our Land! In Jesus Name, Amen! Thank you for the Joy unending that you have shared with so many over the years. ❤️🙏📖
Earlier this year God gave me the word HOPE - specifically in Romans 12:12. "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, constant in prayer." It's been a very long, hard season of feeling unwell and not being able to do much of anything about it. I keep looking to Him and I know He will continue to sustain me. ♥️🙏🏻
I remember learning about about you in my Church group when I was 12 back in ‘79. I remember watching the movie you made, and I really remember being blown away by your beautiful drawings! Fast forward to Dec. 3, 2018 when my husband of 31 was thrown from a lift at work and became a quadriplegic. We’ve been “blessed” in that he regained some finger movement in both hands, so he can feed himself, shave, write (if necessary, but he hates it), do jigsaw puzzles and play games on his I-Pad. That all said, the only way he’s been able to stay at home is because of our son, who has been a rock. He turns Frank and helps me immensely. Frank is a bigger guy at around 250 pounds, which makes being his caregiver harder. I’ve been doing well till this year, when I’m starting to get burned out. It’s hard to get good help where we live. I’m getting older, have some sciatica, a bunch of cysts on my hands from the caregiving. It seems that God has become silent as of late, which has me wondering “why?” But I’ll keep pressing on, and take life one day at a time. God bless you, Joni. ❤
Thank you Joni ! I don't think anyone else could have given me hope this morning as you have been able to,you are an unexpected gift. Peace of Jesus be with you.
Dear Joni, You are such an inspiration to me and so many. We grumble about our life’s ups and downs but you have overcome so much. We look to that day when all things will be made new. I’m not far behind you in years but how fast they’ve gone. Looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour The Lord Jesus Christ 🙏🏻❤️
Joni, God so uses you to touch people's hearts . Thank you for all this. You are so right - hope gets us out of bed in the morning. Gods grace in your life is an example to us all of His never-ending goodness, love and compassion. Thank you, my sister. . Happy Advent season.
Thank you, Joni, so VERY MUCH for those BEAUTIFUL, encouraging, INSPIRING words! I wish I had that same hope that you have. But sadly so often I just feel so VERY, VERY hopeless. Please pray for me me. Thank you so VERY MUCH! I REALLY greatly appreciate it! 😢
Thank you for the words , that help me to keep hoping like you say each day. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Thanks for bringing it to my mind.
Thank you, Joni. After living with depression all of my adult life, it is always uplifting to hear that someone else has found hope in the darkness. Merry Christmas.
Amazing grace & testimony, thank you! Please sing 4 Joy & Hope: Lo I am you always 💯 th video on UA-cam; With Christ in Paradise, Our Father my Shepherd, Thanks be to God - the Lord bless thee. Singing helps to heal & brings us into hope & joy in Jesus. 😊 God's family is wonderful, praise the matchless name of Jesus Christ!
Tusm Joni for sharing God’s word & your courageous perspective on Hope!! You are & have been a tremendous encouragement & inspiration for me in my darkest days!! God bless you 💝 You are positively beautiful inside & out!! 🙏✝️💪

Love you Joni God bless you and Ken always and strength to your families, friends and caregivers who surrounds you each day. Hope to meet you one day🙏🏾. God bless you always .
Thank you,Joni. Yesterday I recognised, that I forgot to write to the Rentenservice, for them to pay my pension the next 5 years. Normally they need months to edit the payment. And the last rent i get on 31.12.24 So i set my hope in Jesus Christ to bless the person , who works with my documents. To be as fast as possible...
I have been going through 10 years of emotional pain and anxiety. I need hope as you say. I know God is my fortress, it is the pain that I need to stop.
Your story was shown by film at my SDA church in the 70-80’s… I was under 10 it seems but your story changed me and shaped my young mind for the better. Thank you for giving back through it all ❤ Merry Christmas
Beautiful, beautiful Sister in Christ. I heard about you in a sermon by Pastor Charles Lawson, where he talked about faith. THANK YOU for sharing your experienced and encouraging words about Hope and as Isaiah puts it: In the evening there is weeping, in the morning there is rejoicing!!!

Joni you are my hero in Christ. Thank you.
Hope is good. Just not in fiction 😔. But the majority of christians aren't even aware the bible is fiction. It's so damaging...
Amen! ❤✝️🙏
Yes, indeed. Hope in CHRIST alone
