Gospel Joy International produces audio Bible studies for rural African women. It has developed a distribution model that capitalizes on denominational networks and relationships to disseminate its materials and disciple women in rural villages. This paper explains its distribution model and how it has created a network of leaders across rural Africa in its effort to support the church’s mission to disciple its flock.
Emily is the Executive Director of Gospel Joy International. After spending five years living and working in rural Africa for a large non-governmental organization, Emily had the idea to create audio Bible studies to be used by the rural church. Since 2017, Emily has been building Gospel Joy, its library of resources, and its network of churches. Emily holds an MA in International Development from Brandeis University and a BA in Intercultural Studies with a minor in Biblical Studies from Biola University. In her free time, she loves to go for hikes, spend time with friends, and get lost in a good (audio) book.
