Danette Joy Crawford is a powerful international evangelist, author, speaker, and TV host with a refreshing message of hope and encouragement. She is the founder and president of Danette Crawford Ministries, which aims to spread the gospel around the globe with its media endeavors. Its outreach arm, Joy Ministries Evangelistic Association, organizes inner-city work with over twenty different compassion programs. It offers more than a handout; it gives a "hand up" to those in need. Through educational and mentoring programs, it assists at-risk youth and low-income families. The ministry also has many programs for single mothers, including Cars for Moms and Back to Work programs. Homeless single mothers and children are provided transitional housing through the Father's House, which empowers single mothers to move forward after a difficult season of homelessness.

Danette's television program, Hope for Today with Danette Crawford, is broadcast weekly into over 250 million homes. She and her ministry have been featured on ABC, CBS, NBC, TCT, TBN, Dove Network, The 700 Club, The Harvest Show, Paula White Today, 100 Huntley Street, and other television shows and networks, as well as in numerous newspaper and magazine articles.

Danette is the author of several books, including Don't Quit in the Pit; God, You've Got Mail; Total Turnaround; Pathway to the Palace; and The Standard Setters. In everything she does, her goal is to see souls saved and lives changed. Danette holds a master's degree in counseling from Regent University. Her website is: joyministriesonline.org.
