Joan became an active speaker in the Women Victorious ministry two years ago. Their message is based on 2 Corinthians 4:7-9. Their theme is Connecting, encouraging, equipping ... Ordinary Women--Extraordinary God. As a smaller speaking group, Women Victorious is intent on making personal connections with each other and God.
