INTRODUCING PEARLENE NOLAN & HIS JOY MINISTRIES
| Pearlene Nolan, from Snyder, Texas, was raised on a small West Texas farm by Godly parents. At age 12 she ‘walked’ the aisle, was water baptized, and felt the call to be a missionary. However, her denomination at the time neither recognized women in any form of ministry or taught about the Holy Spirit. After going through a period of troubled years, without hope and without power, at the age of 26 she bowed her knee to the lordship and saving power of Jesus. Gloriously Holy Spirit baptized, her life took on a totally different dimension. Signs, wonders, healing and miracles have followed for years, characterized by a strong apostolic-prophetic anointing. |
In 1994, she began to seek God about what her calling was. Having all kinds of preconceived ideas about it, God surprised, and delighted her, when He revealed that she was to ‘administer the oil of joy to replace a heavy-burdened spirit.’ (Is 61:3). She began hosting a women’s conference in that same year. For many years, she has hosted a fall general conference, along with a spring women’s conference, with people from all over Texas in attendance.
| In 1998, Pearlene incorporated, as a non profit organization, her very diverse ministry with the name of ‘His Joy Ministries, Inc.’ The foundation of this ministry is the Word, worship, prayer, and seeing His joy freely given. Scores have been born again and filled with the Holy Spirit. Countless healings have also manifested during 25 years of prison and jail ministry, conferences, and outreaches. |
Since 2008, Pearlene has organized a team, twice annually, for missions in Uganda, Africa. The team ministers in churches and outdoor crusades, resulting in a multitude of salvations and healings. Through the child and widow sponsorship program she started, hundreds of children are being educated, and dozens of widows are being fed, there in Uganda. Pearlene manages the ministries’ coffee shop, ‘J316 Downtown Coffee House,’ an outreach located in Snyder, TX. His Joy Ministries has also ordained several people to help them carry out their calling.
Pearlene’s husband Dale was a volunteer chaplain for TDCJ for 25 years! She has three children, 10 grandchildren, and now great-grandchildren. She enjoys wood working, playing the guitar, and of all things, yard work!
Pearlene states that God took her up on her statement spoken to Him years ago: “God, I’ll do whatever You ask of me to get the gospel of Jesus to the world. I’ll write it, sing it, and speak it. Lord, I’ll even hum it, if that’s what it takes.” “I’ve done them all!,” she states.
His Joy Ministries, as you can tell, are after souls for the Father…souls to lay at the feet of Jesus… the reward of His suffering.
