Our Mission

The Faithful Servants Foundation is committed to providing respite for pastors and their wives.

Our Story

What started out as a passion for one bruised pastor, God grew over many years into a passion to be a blessing to Pastors to provide moments of rest for renewal to help keep them refreshed for the encouragement of continuing in the service of growing the Kingdom of God.

During the first two years, our foundation was able to bless a small number of pastors and their wives with restful getaways and gift certificates for dinner date nights … a moment of Sabbath Rest.

What started out as small areas of faith giving for these blessings over the years, has grown into what we now feel is faith living.

In December 2020, God laid it on our hearts to increase our faith giving by tithing on the gross sales of Joy’s primary business, Faithful Servants Care.

In February 2022, God led us again to increase our faith giving by purchasing a brand-new beach home in the Outer Banks of North Carolina dedicated solely for Pastoral Rest … Sabbath Rest.

In September 2023, God led us to move to the outer banks to be a more present part of this ministry for pastoral refreshment and we opened a 2nd branch of Faithful Servants Care in the outer banks, which we also tithe on its gross sales to the foundation.

In April 2024, God again increased our faith giving when we sold Faithful Servants Care in VA and were convicted to donate all the proceeds of this sale to the Foundation for Pastor refreshment.

We are excited to see how God uses us further in His calling to help with Pastoral refreshment. 1 Chronicles 29:14
