InJoy
Seven years into ministry, John C. Maxwell envisioned a ministry to other pastors. After studying the correlation between effective leadership and effective ministry, John began INJOY in 1985 to develop leaders of excellence and integrity by providing resources and training for personal and professional growth. In 2004, INJOY sponsored 165 events with over 215,000 attendees. The organization embraces the statement of its founder: Everything rises and falls on leadership, on its course to becoming a legendary people development company.
John Mark Ministries
John Mark Ministries began in 1991, in response to the overwhelming flood of pastors leaving their ministries. The site provides resources and encouragement to pastors, ex-pastors, church leaders and their spouses.
