Here and Now devo Nov 23

by David Joynt on November 23, 2022


ROMANS 12:4-6 | 4 For as in one body we have many members and not all the members have the same function, 5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another. 6 We have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us: prophecy, in proportion to faith;

Christian mission organizations in general, and our partners in particular, operate on tight financial terms. They maximize every dollar. Much of the leadership for these groups come from volunteers who serve on boards or manage special projects or give regular time.

This is where VPC could really have a dramatic impact. Our congregation is filled with leaders that carry a great deal of natural ability and acquired knowledge. This could be a huge asset to mission partners.

Have you served the kingdom in the community?

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.
