At En-Joy Ministries, we explore the biblical meaning of joy, rooted in the Hebrew simchah and Greek chara, reflecting gladness and spiritual fruit. Joy fuels faith, embodying Nehemiah 8:10: “The joy of the Lord is your strength.” Our mission, inspired by the prefix “EN,” centers on four actionable, joy-driven concepts: Enable (Philippians 4:13), Enrich (Psalm 16:11), Encourage (1 Thessalonians 5:11), and Enjoy (John 15:11).
