"I requested that Joy allow me to communicate a few thoughts concerning her service and the value she adds to the ministry of Jubilee REACH Center. In the space she allowed here is what I’d like to say.
"Joy Roof is a personification of “joy” around the Jubilee REACH Center. Small in stature yet large hearted, her genuine love for people and compassion for those facing desperate challenges sets her apart for Community Care ministries. Joy’s heart for service is complimented by her broad range of life experiences and well developed relational and business skills. She is leveraging life’s lessons to lift others up.
"Serving as Site-coordinator for the Adult Dental Van, Joy skillfully and equitably delivers these highly needed services to our community. An empathetic listener, she hears the needs then exercises discernment and perspective in distributing resources. When visiting another local charity recently, Joy learned of their abundant supply of warm coats and gloves. She returned to JRC with a van load of these valuable goods and began sharing them generously with individuals and serving agencies around JRC. These activities are typical of the way Joy steps up to fill the gap and bring Jesus’ healing and build community at the Jubilee REACH Center. It is a blessing and a “joy” to serve with her.
Peace,
Tom Brewer"
