With both sadness and joy I regret to inform all of you that tonight February 11 at 9:40 pm my lovely wife Amy went to be with Jesus. This is a mighty victory and the half will never be known. With great love and appreciation to all who have joined with us.
Joel
Dear Pas. Joel,
I’m from Sri Lanka (in Asia) and saw your prayer request on Facebook. It was so sad for me to read of Pas. Amy’s passing away on the 11th.
PRECIOUS IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD IS THE DEATH OF HIS SAINTS.
Although you are grieving right now, you will feel the warmth of the Holy Spirit envelope you and insulate you against the shock. He will be with you and help you remember all the wonderful times you had with Amy.
Heaven will be more real to you than the very town you live in. Its strange how REAL Jesus becomes to us once we lose a loved one IN CHRIST.
Someone once said, ‘Jesus is SO beautiful, that once the ladies see his face, you dont stand a chance!!’
soon after my dad passed away (of a fatal heart attack), my mum saw a vision, of two men robed in white, lifting his arms around their shoulders and helping him up a flight of grey coloured stairs. the higher they went, the stronger my father became. He began praising and worshiping the Lord and was almost dancing by the time he hit the top stair. He stopped and looked back and his face was all glowing and beautiful and he looked young! (he was 52).
My mum said that she was filled with such joy, that she could not mourn for him, cos he was so happy!! I pray the Lord will help your eyes to be opened and you will see into the Spirit world.
Amy is right now in the presence of her mighty King, worshipping Him and basking in his glory. She has been completely healed of all sickness and pain. Jesus and the hosts of heaven are giving her a mighty welcome.
wow.
love to you and your family,

Dearest Pastor Joel, Stockstill family and Amy’s family: Thank you for your unrelenting faith in our True and Living God. Our congregation here at Master’s Plan are with you during this time. God’s love and peace endure forever.

Pastor David Salazar
Dear Pastor Joel, I have been to Bethany several times and have really enjoyed the messages each time, I have never met your wife but, from all of the wonderful things said about her, I can tell she was an awesome woman of God. I started praying for her when I first found out she was ill a few weeks ago, and I won’t stop praying for you, may the peace of God forever be with you until you see your wife again..God Bless you and her entire family
Bro Joel,
I admire you for your love, strength and boldness. As far as Amy is concern she is our jewel and now she is Jesus’s jewel.
Isiah 57:1-2 Righteous people pass away;
the godly often die before their time.
But no one seems to care or wonder why.
No one seems to understand
that God is protecting them from the evil to come.
2 For those who follow godly paths
will rest in peace when they die.
Numbers 6:24-26 24
‘May the LORD bless you
and protect you.
25 May the LORD smile on you
and be gracious to you.
26 May the LORD show you his favor
and give you his peace.’
I pray God comforts you and your family and Amy’s family.
May God bless you…Mama Lucille,
Pastor Joel

Pastor Joel Stockstill and Family
I am sorrowful in the lost of Pastor Amy’s earthly life, yet rejoices that she is now with the Lord. I’m with Brother and Sister Cole, let’s make a memorial of Pastor Amy and bumbard heaven for revival to strike Baton Rouge and this Nation. Our lives are a gift from God and should be given back to Him!

Pastor Joel..
Amy will be sadly missed. She was an AMAZING woman of God and my prayers go out to you and to both of your families. May the Lord’s mercy and grace be with you during this time.
I had never heard of you or Amy until today when a friend forwarded me an e-mail of Amy’s struggle. Please know that God does not make mistakes.
Even the little while a person is here, they leave footprints on the hearts that they touch. I’m sure Amy touched many.
You and your family are in my prayers.
Bro. Joel: Your precious Amy was truly in love with a King and now she is truly the angel He wanted her to be. The Lord will continue to enable you amd our wonderful church to reach the nations and those who are lost. I am praying for you, your family and Amy’s. I will always honor the memory of her life. May the sweet Spirit of the Lord surround you. In His Love, Carole Fitzgerald
Joel,
I don’t know if you’re familiar with Phil Driscoll, but he sang two songs years ago that I wanted to share with you because they have ministered to me in times like these, “Wings as Eagles and I Exalt Thee.” God Bless you, Joel. I have a feeling your ministry just went to a higher level! I can’t wait to see what the Lord had planned all along be manifested!
Joel,
You’re in my thoughts and prayers. Your strength and peace are an example and inspiration to so many people. God bless you, Amy’s family, and your family.
Pastor Joel I was deeply saddened to hear of Pastor Amy’s passing but “to God be the glory”. Whenever I saw the both of you together, you could see the undying love that both of you shared for each other. And knowing that you will see your wife again does give you comfort, because Amy has her Crown of Righteousness.
You will continually be in my prayers.
May the Lord’s strength, grace and peace overwhelm you!
Pastor Joel,
I’m so sorry for your loss. You & your family will be in my prayers.
Jeremiah 29:11-14
Pastor Joel:
You don’t know us, but we have been praying for you both throughout this whole process; now our prayers are on you and your family and also Pastor Amy’s family. We will continue to lift you up in prayer. Received His peace !!!

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, [be] with you all. Amen. Take comfort in the Word, brother.
Joel, Our thoughts and our prayers or with you and your family.
Joel, We are so sorry to here about Amy. Our thoughts and prayers go to you and your families. Wayne and Connie
Pastor Joel, I was at De Luge and I am really sorry for your loss. When I found out about Amy I cried. And even though I didn’t know her, I felt like I did. I will be praying for you and your family. And God Bless
I believe the impact of Pastor Amy’s life and the ministry of her death will be shown in full magnitude. The news of her sickness and death has sent shockwaves through the body of Christ. It has caused Christians from all over America to come together and unite as one. I believe Amy’s funeral will be only the beginning of the revival of the miraculous…..
Keeping you in our prayers at this sad but glorious time. Only God knows the why and will get you through it with His love and divine presence.
God’s peace to you in every moment.
Pastor Joel, there aren’t many times where I’m speechless. Rather I choose the right thing, or more often the wrong thing, I have something to say. But in this instance, I am utterly speechless. The only thing I can really say is that I have never more than now respected you and your family more. Your steadfastness is an example to be looked upon by all. I am proud and honored to say that I am a member of 220 Youth and a member at BWPC. My heart goes out to you and your family, and I pray for you continually.
Eric L. Meno
Joel and family,
I have been told:
For everything you lose you also gain something,
and
For everything you gain you also lose something.
Joel, your darling wife Amy’s early departure ( loss ) has unified multitudes and inspired prayers (Heaven’s gain).
Empathy (for her suffering, as well as, you and your family’s loss) and an outpouring of Godly love (a gain in action) has shaken the foundation of people’s hearts to reevaluate their lives and whats important to them.
There is no greater urgency to act than when we risk losing those we cherish most.
It is Befitting that such a powerful love between you, Amy, and our maker is honored on the holiday that represents “Love”,
Valentines Day.
May God’s grace devinely embrace you and your family with an immense overflow of love, peace, prayer, and support as she goes ahead of us to a destination only God can show us in our dreams.
sincerely,
Stephanie Rogillio
Pastor Joel…

God is a great mystery sometimes. Why she went to be with the lord, i don’t understand. But I know that in the end this will all work out according to his glory and honor. I pray that the lord would give you complete peace and strength. We are all here for you and know you are always in our prays. Every one has they’re appointed day and hour and our departure from such a wonderful woman will not be forever.

Dear Joel,
I’ve never had the privilege of meeting you, but I’ve enjoyed your messages that I’ve heard either in person or on CD. Amy was my cousin (on her dad’s side), and she will be greatly missed by all. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of the Stockstill family as well as the Hart family. I know we will all be reunited some day in Heaven, where there will be no more sickness, pain, tears, or death. May God continue to bless you and help comfort you in the days to come.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Pendarvis
Dear Joel, I just want you to know that we love you and you are in our prayers. God has so much in store for you in this life and the life to come. Keep doing what you are doing God bless you and we love you in the Lord.

Ricky ~ P.S. Thank you Pastor Amy for being an example that show me that God Is Love !
” There’s no one like her on earth,
never has been, never will be.
She’s a woman beyond compare.
My dove is perfection,
Pure and innocent as the day she was born,
and cradled in joy by her mother.
Everyone who came by to see her
exclaimed and admired her—
All the fathers and mothers, the neighbors and friends,
blessed and praised her:”
Song of Solomon 6:9 [msg]
Joel my heart is with you and your family with the lost of your wonderful wife Amy. the LORD allowed Amy to enjoy the desires of her heart before she left the physical world. you should feel bless that our FATHER thought of you when HE chose a husband for Amy. our FATHER knew you was strong, loving and a faithful man, perfect for such an unique individual like Amy. the FATHER plans for Amy was bigger then life itself, you must continue on your spiritual path but remember when the road gets rough you are not alone. the last couple of years i’m sure were the best times of Amy life. Joel, Child of GOD! Pick Up Your Cross! Keep Moving Forward! There’s Soul To Be Saved! I LOVE YOU MY BROTHER!
I haven’t gone to Bethany in quite some time. But you and Amy have influenced me to be a better person and live my life for Jesus. I thank you both for that. I never knew Amy was sick until I learned of her death on the 11th. IT shook me to the core and I do not knnow why. I did not really know her. But I pray for you, your family, and her family. I can not begin to understand any of what you all are going though. I truly hope the pain of missing her eases with time. Take care Pastor Joel.
she is an amazing woman of God
Dear Joel, It was with great sadness, I write this. I attend a church in San Jose CA. Jubilee. Pastor Bernal announced last week of your tradgedy. My family went to a youth confrence the year before hurrican katrina, when you prophesied about the deluge. I don’t believe you were married then, But my prayer is that you find comfort that Amy is with Jesus. You are a mighty man of God! Be encouraged. With this letter, I send the love of Jesus to comfort and restore and super charge you.

My deepest sympathies are with you in this time of hardship. Amy was a beautiful, loving woman. May God’s peace be continually with you.
I live in Texas, but I was in Florida when your wife passed away. I found out a little bit late because the day your wife went to heaven, was the same day my grandmother joined Him as well. Even though, I can never understand what it means to lose your significant other, I can understand the pain of losing someone very close to you, and not only that, but they both died of cancer.
I’m so sorry for what you’ve lost because it is indescribable. But I just hope that you find God to be your strength and your family to hold you up when you have “one of those days.” Lemme tell ya, those days suck. And they’ll come sometimes when you least expect it, but God expects it and he’s always there when you see a book or lyrics that remind you of her. I know you know that though. I used to go to the Bethany conferences when I was younger. Anyway, God bless your life, and I hope above all things, that you are lifted up because of your faith.
In the same Spirit,
Diana A. Reyes

Pastor Joel I just wanted to share that I never saw Amy or knew anything about her until you came to our conference at Generation Church in seattle. I made a promise to be one of those 1000 women who will raise up and be the Amy’s of the world… and I will carry it out. I will never ever forget her, and I won’t fail.
Thanks for being an amazing example
Very sorry for your loss. She is happily resting in the arms of God.
