Years of Service
The JoyBearers Care Organization, a non-profit and non-governmental arm of the JoyBearers Christian Centre, is dedicated to providing direct support to widows and orphans. Our mission is deeply rooted in the divine vision received by our President, Pastor Ola Amuda, in the year 2000, inspired by James 1:27: "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction and to keep himself unspotted from the world."
In pursuit of this mission, we launched the annual JoyBearers Conference in 2003, which has since become our flagship event. Over the years, this conference has grown to attract participants from up to twelve states across Nigeria. We are proud to offer this gathering completely free of charge, including transportation for widows from all corners of the country.
Our work is driven by a community of like-minded individuals who are committed to making this vision a reality. Through compassion and love, we remain steadfast in our mission to support and uplift widows and orphans, providing them with the care and attention they deserve.

Our Vision
Empowering widows to reclaim purpose, joy, and resilience
Providing support to widows, addressing physical, emotional and social needs, and equipping them to face lifeβs challenges with courage and dignity.
Our Testimony
At the time we began in 2003, we had a little over one hundred (100) widows who attended our programs. As at today, our organisation has made contact or impacted over one thousand, three hundred (1,300) widows. So many of such widows have overcome their emotional trauma while some of them have taken initiatives to start small businesses to cater for themselves and their children, some went back to school to further their education and a few of them have remarried. We hope to enlarge our horizon and bring in more widows to enjoy some of the operations of the organisation.
States Reached
Our Programs
Our programs are open to all interested widows, no restrictions. Only that we do not have sufficient sources of finance to handle our responsibilities as an organisation towards the widows. Widows now see our organisation as a reference point for succour, as we provide monthly counselling sessions, an annual conference, where we expose them to training, skill acquisition, and we also distribute food items, clothing and provide transportation fare to and from the venue of the programs.
Monthly Meetings
We hold monthly meetings with widows where counselling and prayer session, mentorship and training; and provisions to meet their immediate needs are carried out.
Annual Conferences
The Organization holds annual conferences for widows in the first weekend of every September, each year. Learn more here
