Here and Now devo Nov 25

by David Joynt on November 25, 2022


ISAIAH 58:10 | 10 if you offer your food to the hungry and satisfy the needs of the afflicted, then your light shall rise in the darkness and your gloom be like the noonday.

What we give and invest at VPC helps MentorKids empower a new generation to overcome endemic poverty and social isolation. VPC sponsored the third Promise Neighborhood via our recent capital campaign and hosts MentorKids staff on our campus, rent free. MentorKids has recently launched a fourth Promise Neighborhood in Maryville, as we continue to spread this concept across our Valley in areas of great need.

Pray for Aaron Parrott, director, and for the staff and supporters and work of MentorKids.

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.
