About Us
MEET UpWord Kids CREATOR: Joyce Jordan
Although Joyce earned a BA degree in Communications from
Louisiana Baptist University, she asserts that her greatest
education came from the various hands-on learning
experiences in churches of all sizes. Joyce has directed
children’s ministries with average weekly attendances from
10 to 500 first through sixth graders.
Ventriloquism is a tool that Joyce has used to catch and
hold the attention of audiences across America for the past
35 years. She and her company of 13 characters are known as
Joyce & Friends. Joyce traveled extensively for 17 years
before putting her full focus on the ministries of the local
church.
She has made television appearances, commercials, and
public service announcements. Recently she has shared the
stage with many Southern gospel groups and contemporary
artists such as: The Martins, The Hoppers, The Nelons, Daryl
Williams Trio, The Issaacs, Dixie Melody Boys, The Florida
Boys, Legacy Five, Leon Patillo, Janet Pascal, Lisa Daggs,
Natalie Grant, and Carman. Joyce is also a published author. |

Joyce says she is grieved at the loss of volunteer teachers
and resources that do not teach a biblical world view. She
has spent the last six years creating UpWord Kids, a
DVD curriculum that is so user-friendly anyone can use it
with no preparation. UpWord Kids uses a variety of
drama, puppets, stories, interactive skits and games, and
when completed it will provide three years of weekly
programs.
Joyce’s life verse is: Psalms 71:18b (NCV): “I will tell the
children about Your power; I will tell those who live after
me about Your might.”
Joyce has over 35 years of experience in children’s
ministries.
