Joy Blessing is a widowed Florida grandmother who was adding new accomplishments to her already-fascinating life. Her work on earth ended, all at once, but not once and for all. On April 23, 2022, riding with a grandson in a car driven by one of her daughters, Joy suffered a sudden cardiac arrest. She died... DOA at the hospital for 39 minutes. But God hadn’t finished with Joy yet. In fact, after the impossible miracle that has no medical explanation, God has given Joy a new mission. Her message centers on the power of prayer, faith, and joy in knowing that God is in control, no matter what happens.
