Experiencing God's Love, Impacting Lives.

Hello and welcome! My name is Joy Kitanga-Dabo. Blogging is not my thing, but how God Imprints came about is the reason I am writing. My hope is that together with the help of the Holy Spirit we will experience God's love and share it around the world.

I am passionate about the Word of God, and love to write and speak of the Good News of Christ. God has called me to work in ministry with women and families. As a Respiratory Therapist, I enjoy when knowledge of science and Scripture bring healing and hope. I speak English, French, Swahili, and Sanga.

Sermons & Reflections

Reflection

Reading the Bible is like looking self in a mirror. It tells us when we look good and when we don’t. However, the difference is when we see ourselves in a mirror, we fix right away what is wrong. Whereas the Bible, we put it off for another day – when it becomes convenient for us. We don’t know how to accept criticism from the Bible gracefully but we are willing to take lies from the world. My prayer is for God to help us gracefully reflect on His word so that we can live a life worthy of his calling.” – Joy Kitanga

‘The most incredible thing happened… My phone was flat but I put it on top of my Bible when I left and when I returned, my phone had charged. This is a little Jesus miracle.’ So Joy informed me as we drove along to an appointment.”

Testimonials

I was invited to lead a training event for other Youth Pastors. During the training I invited Joy to share her faith story. It was obvious and evident to everyone there how much God was shining on her and calling her. So obvious that she received affirmation from everyone in the class that God was calling her to ministry. I know she probably felt a little ganged up on, but it was obvious that the Holy Spirit was speaking loud and clear. My colleague Raphael [and I] were ready to lift her up and proclaim that this is God’s beloved, our sister, in whom God is well pleased. She fully lives out her name, and she is one of the most blessed people I know. God has truly set her apart for great things.” — Rev. Bill Jones, Pastor of Youth Ministries, Epworth United Methodist Church, Maryland, USA

I have had the unique privilege of working with people from all over the world but not everyone becomes a friend. I met Joy at work and I had an instant connection with her when we met. There is an authenticity about her that is refreshing. A depth that comes from knowing what defeat and suffering means. Joy once said to me, when people say children are dying in Africa I say to them “name them”. It is this appreciation and an understanding of life and people that makes Joy special. A person filled with deep loving concern for others. This why I call her my friend and Sister and not colleague.“
