Here and Now devo Nov 22

by David Joynt on November 22, 2022


2 CORINTHIANS 9:7 | 7 Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not regretfully or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Financial growth, that comes from new members adding in or current members increasing their giving, directly grows our capacity to encourage mission efforts in Arizona and internationally. Our local partners are dynamic, growing and diversifying their efforts to tackle endemic poverty and homelessness. Our strategic investment has helped fuel innovative new programs in transitional housing and homeless prevention, and it has allowed us to experiment with new ideas, like the Navajo Relief effort.

Do you have a dream for VPC’s involvement in local or international mission?

Pray for additional resources to help our mission efforts.

About the Author
David Joynt

Dave Joynt began his service as a pastor at Valley Presbyterian Church in Paradise Valley, Arizona in September 2014. This meant a move away from the Northeast, where he has a long history, growing up in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and then serving congregations in Delaware and New Jersey for a total of 23 years.

Dave was nurtured in a great church in Bethlehem where his parents, Anne and Carey, served as elders. He graduated in classics from Lehigh University where his Father taught, and then from Oxford, where he met his wife Julia. Ordained in 1988, he completed a Ph.D. from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1993.

He and Julia have a son, Tristan, and a daughter, Madeleine.
