When she was in grad school in 2001 and facing an unplanned pregnancy at age 27, she made the devastating choice to have an abortion. What she thought would "solve" the problem only made her problems infinitely worse to the point she tried to commit suicide that same year. She survived and sought help from a church that was offering the Forgiven and Set Free study, which was life-changing for her in every aspect. God placed a strong passion for hurting women on her heart and she became involved in several pro-life efforts: counseling women at pregnancy centers, building a maternity home for single women in unplanned pregnancies, serving as a board member for ND Right to Life, facilitating programs for post-abortive women, and sharing her testimony around the world. In addition to co-facilitating Forgiven and Set Free, she shares her story to help educate others on the true cost of abortion.
Joy resides in Bismarck, ND with her husband Nish who she met in 2013 as full-time missionaries in Brazil. They have 2 children.
