Joy Dawson

出生: February 27, 1926 – Masterton, Wellington Region, New Zealand

Joy Dawson was a New Zealand Christian author, Bible teacher, and missionary known for writing on prayer, obedience, the fear of the Lord, and God’s character. Her notable books include Intimate Friendship with God and Forever Ruined for the Ordinary; through Youth With A Mission, her teaching ministry reached 55 nations.

传记与作者历程

Joy Dawson was a New Zealand-born Bible teacher, missionary, and author whose formation was described publicly less in terms of formal academic credentials than in terms of prayer, Bible study, and church life. Before her international platform, YWAM’s own history remembers her as a housewife devoted to intercession and to learning the “ways of God,” a background that helps explain the plain, exhortatory style of her later books. Born on February 27, 1926, Dawson became one of the most recognizable teaching voices in the YWAM world and remained so until her death on July 21, 2022.
