About us

Our story

For more than three decades, a Christian ministry serving Lesotho through the Gospel, education, health and compassionate care.

Since 1988

It began with a yes

Joy To The World was founded in 1988 by Drs. Christy and Rohini Knight, who answered God's call to Lesotho. Through tent revivals, village outreaches on dusty roads and patient faithfulness, a ministry took root.

Rural churches were planted. Children were taught. A hospital opened its doors. Over the years, that first yes has grown into a family of ministries serving the whole person and the whole community.

Our founders

Drs. Christy and Rohini Knight

One pioneering, one nurturing; one establishing, one sustaining. Together, the founders laid foundations of faith, education and care that a new generation now builds upon.

For nearly four decades Dr. Rohini Knight has been a spiritual covering to this ministry family, and her yes continues to shape everything we do.
