Joy Crawford was a Hollywood, California, housewife, mother, and church lay person who totally revolutionized the way her church missions board did foreign missions. The way she did it was by persuading the board to adopt an unreached Buddhist people group located deep inside mainland China. Hollywood Free church then sent Joy to Singapore to be trained as a missions strategy coordinator so that she could lead that project effectively. She then proceeded to do exactly that by organizing a team of eight to thirteen mission agencies to work together as a team inside mainland China under her overall direction, each agency contributing their own particular primary skillset to the overall project. Under her leadership, their coordinated results were amazingly effective. The key to her success was that Joy made people feel good. Everyone liked her. People worked together smoothly under her overall direction and then went in and got successful results. But she was never herself residential to China. But still, in spite of that, her leadership produced amazing results. In an inspirational biography that includes photographs, Daniel, Joy's husband of sixty years, chronicles her amazing life journey, beginning with her childhood where she was labeled an ugly duckling and continuing through the next phases of her life as God laid His hand on Joy and began slowly preparing her to fulfill His plan for her life. As Joy's story slowly unfurls, Daniel shines a light on her important work as she matured into her purpose and eventually mobilized and led a large team of Christian mission agencies to partner together to reach previously unreachable groups of people in communist China with spectacular results. Throughout his retelling, Daniel gently reminds others that they, too, can create positive change in the world.
