The latest issue of JOY! Magazine is now on sale

This October edition is jam-packed with powerful, Christ-centred content to inspire, challenge, and encourage you in your walk with God. Our cover feature shares the remarkable story of evangelist Lindy-Ann Hopley, whose life was radically transformed when God’s relentless love broke through her brokenness. Today she carries a bold message of freedom and revival to the nations – a testimony you simply cannot miss. Alongside her story, you’ll discover vital teaching on how to overcome the fear of witnessing, a thought-provoking look at the mission of the Holy Spirit, and a heartfelt call to pray for our police as they serve on the frontlines of our communities.

This issue also tackles weighty questions and timely topics: how to discern false teaching, navigating life’s storms, the threat of prostitution in society, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and what it means to raise your standard of giving. Be encouraged by testimonies of miracles, healings, and transformed lives – including a powerful account of God’s hand in sparing someone from death.

With engaging regulars like Ask Val, our beloved Biblical quiz and colouring in, and fresh columns that bring Scripture to life, every page overflows with truth and encouragement. Don’t miss out on this packed edition – available now at leading supermarkets nationwide, or order online at joygifts.co.za in both print and digital formats.
