LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
JOY! Magazine is wonderful
Thank you for your wonderfully illustrated Biblical series of articles that you regularly publish. I find that I can’t concentrate like I used to, and love the short, precise, and factual articles. I have learnt so much from reading them. I was fascinated to read why Jesus entrusted his mother to the Apostle John instead of his natural brothers. It’s so interesting. I also enjoy your Biblical characters. JOY! Magazine is a gift to the body of Christ. May you grow from strength to strength.

They ought to ask God to answer that question, as it’s not President Ramaphosa’s dream, but God’s dream for our beautiful nation. In Bruce Wilkinson’s book, , it says:
