Jesse Joyner

(VA and Nationwide)

 

Spreading Joy through Juggling

Jesse Joyner is one of the few people in the world who has completed a marathon while juggling. He is also one of the few jugglers in the world with a PhD. But when he performs shows, he neither runs nor pontificates. He has a passion for providing joy to others and packaging deep truths in understandable ways.

His astonishing stage show delivers laughter, joy, and inspiration to audiences young and old. Having experience as a children’s pastor, he’s adept at teaching the Gospel in levels of understanding that are fun and memorable, albeit unusual. Through a variety of circus arts such as juggling, balancing, and dangerous stunts, Jesse takes his audience on a journey of God’s story – from Creation to Restoration. Jesse also encourages young people to use whatever gifts they have been given in life to shine God’s light in the world.

Jesse started in the professional entertainment arena at age 17 and has since performed his juggling all over the world – from Israel to Belize. He starred as Shaggy in the Scooby Doo show at Paramount’s King’s Island and he has made street performance appearances in Europe, the Middle East, and New York City. Thousands of people have enjoyed Jesse’s show over the past twenty years at camps, schools, churches, libraries, and festivals.

Jesse’s presentation is flexible enough to fit with most any setting. And there is very little set-up needed. His most common routine is a stage show that lasts between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the needs of the event.
This will include:

* Juggling and Balancing Routines
* Audience Participation
* The message of Christ woven throughout the routine

* Other elements (workshops, response prayers, Q&A, etc) can be worked out per event

What people are saying:

“We and the churches of Texas attending our Preteen Camps love Jesse Joyner! Even though he has been to Highland Lakes Camp many times – he is always ‘fresh’ in presenting the Gospel to our children. The one thing which sets Jesse apart is his desire to provide continuity with the camp theme…He will also be creative in how he teaches our children the theme memory verse.”
~ Judy Sansom, Highland Lakes Camp, Spicewood, TX

“Jesse’s ability to communicate was amazing. He was funny, informative and fun. The kidds loved it, as did each volunteer and staff member…We have been doing the event that Jesse performed in for over 5 years, and in all honesty, Jesse was the best performer we have ever had.”
~ Mike Daknis, The Community Church, Ashburn, VA

“Jesse’s presentation met and exceeded our expectations. He wove the gospel message throughout his presentation, had wonderful rapport with the audience, involved various kids in his presentation, and kept the attention of all ages. Jesse was a pleasure to work with, very easy to accomodate, and we thoroughly enjoyed hosting him at our home. He is very personable and easy to get to know.”
