Our intercessory prayer ministry, Vessels of Honor, came into being after my father, passed away. He carried a mighty mantle of intercession for his family and community throughout his life. When I opened the room door, I found him on the floor, removed from earth to glory. It was then that his mantle of prayer was spiritually transferred to me.

Growing up, my mother, always encouraged me to pray. Although I was reluctant to pray, I eventually learned to do so through study and memorization.

In March 2008, Vessels of Honor Intercessory Prayer Ministries was officially launched as an online teleconference with women interceding on behalf of family, churches, schools, government, states, and others.

The Lord spoke in an audible voice to me one morning during a prayer call, "Joyce, the call is greater than the pull!" As a result of that encounter, He perfected and established me as a perpetual Kingdom Intercessor.

It was not possible for me to walk or stand in November 2020. During the month of December 2020, I underwent back surgery. In January 2021, I was instructed by the Lord to host a 24-hour prayer watch on the Louisiana State Capitol steps. God, are you sure you're speaking to me? I'm broken. In May 2021, three months later, we held our first annual "24-hour Prayer Call to Watch" during which we experienced supernatural results.

Currently, the Vessels of Honor Intercessory Prayer Ministries is a growing global movement of intercessors for the Kingdom of God, praying, studying, teaching, witnessing and standing as end-time harvesters for the Lord...joining hands with a great band of witnesses and fellow intercessors shouting “We have won!”
