Joanna’s heart is for the persecuted church - the men and women who suffer for Christ. She recently launched her advocacy called “Strengthen What Remains” where she shares the plight of the persecuted church. This formation came over years of exposure to Open Doors International Ministry where her family serves in the leadership body in Asia for more than 35 years.
