Welcome to MorningJoy Ministries. Please come in and look around!

MorningJoy Ministries is a Christian, Bible-based ministry of encouragement for women of all ages that consists of the speaking and writing ministry of Laura Trapp. She ministered beside her husband, Dr. William Trapp, for twenty-seven years as a Southern Baptist pastor's wife. Laura's expository teaching of the Word has blessed women for decades within their churches, but with her husband's death from Lou Gehrig's disease in 2000, the Lord has called her to minister full time through MorningJoy Ministries. She speaks out of the well-spring of her walk with Him and a solid theological foundation, blessing women of all ages.

A letter from a recent participant at one of our weekend retreats says it very well:

I had the privilege of being at the ECBC Women's Retreat this past weekend and hearing you speak. This was my third conference and I've never been so motivated and encouraged! I thoroughly enjoyed all the sessions and have told all my family and friends about how "rich in the word" the whole weekend was. You, Laura are so gifted in teaching and communicating. I'm so thankful that the Lord laid on your heart to share all that I truly felt the Lord working in my heart over the weekend you did. Thank you for using your gifts to bless us! Everyone I have talked with that attended the conference has been raving about the weekend, but specifically about you. Words like, real, applicable, funny, engaging have been the resounding response of all.

I'll be praying for you and your ministry. Thank you again Laura!!
