New Book Release! Awakened in Retirement: A New Seasonof Passion, Purpose, Service and Faith

​We’re thrilled to share that Kathleen Gibbs, founder of Joy2theWorld International Christian Academy, has published a new book—now available on Kindle!
Awakened in Retirement: A New Season of Passion, Purpose, Service and Faith tells the inspiring story of how one decision in retirement led Kathleen from the business world to founding a school in West Africa.
With honesty, wisdom, and heart, she reflects on the journey of building Joy2theWorld from just 3 students to nearly 400—supported by 45 dedicated staff members and a growing waitlist each term.
This book is for anyone who’s ever asked, “What’s next for me?” and wondered what’s possible with prayer, courage, and faith. Whether you’re a longtime supporter or new to our mission, Kathleen’s story will move and inspire you.
