Joan Alusa Khoyi – Kenya

Area Director

Joan started following Jesus after hearing about His love for her at a crusade when she was in fifth grade. She first heard about Young Life while being an usher at church. A man who was visiting the church and had witnessed her joyful spirit, said that she would be a great Young Life leader. He told her about the mission of Young Life, and she called Young Life staff to get connected. Ever since then, she has served as a Young Life leader. Today Joan is an area director in Chavakali, Kenya and oversees three clubs: one high school and two neighborhoods. In Chavakali, many kids are not allowed to attend Young Life activities because of their traditional beliefs. However, Joan and her leaders are steadfast, and continue to reach out to the community, make connections, and love kids.
