Picture
"Just as there are many parts to our bodies, so it is with Christ's body... for we each have a different work to do... each needs all the others."
​Romans 12:4-5

Who we are

We are a group of Bible-believing Christians with a common passion who have become partners for a greater vision. 

Vision

Our vision is to share the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of the Father, and the unity of the Holy Spirit with as many people as possible. (2 Corinthians 13:14)

Mission

We at Partners in Joy, Inc. come alongside already established effective ministries, assisting them in their efforts towards expanding the Kingdom of God and fulfilling the Great Commission.  We partner with them by:
  • receiving and disbursing funding and materials ​
  • providing ideas and expertise as we can
  • praying, and
  • ​​​networking

History

​Stuart and Ruth Carlson were both raised overseas as third generation missionary kids - Stuart in Peru and Ruth in Nigeria - and both have an interest in foreign ministries. 

In the late 1990's, Stuart and Ruth as a couple started partnering with a ministry in Nigeria called Joi Ministries, which was later renamed Alternorm Ministries. In 2000, in order to facilitate communications with partnering ministries, they created their own non-profit 501c3 organization, Partners in Joy, Inc. 
​

Over the years, Partners in Joy grew to partner with not only Alternorm, but also with a growing number of other Christ-centered ministries in Nigeria, South America, and the United States.
