Dr. P. Ray Johnson and Rev. Dr. Mrs. Joycelyn Johnson are the esteemed founders of Victory International Ministries (VIM), now known as VIM Global. Their leadership, vision, and passion for spreading the gospel have shaped the ministry into what it is today—a global network of Bible schools, churches, and educational institutions dedicated to raising Christian leaders who can make a profound impact on the world.
Dr. P. Ray Johnson and Rev. Dr. Mrs. Joycelyn Johnson have dedicated their lives to serving God and empowering others to fulfill their calling. They founded VIM Global in 1992 under its original name, Victory International Ministries (VIM), in Ghana, West Africa. Over the past three decades, the couple has personally mentored and trained thousands of individuals, providing them with the tools and biblical knowledge needed to become effective leaders in their communities and beyond. Under their leadership, VIM Global expanded its mission from its base in Ghana to other parts of Africa, Europe, and the Americas. Their heart for the nations led them to establish Victory International Ministry Training College (VIMTC), an accredited institution where students are taught sound Christian doctrine and theology to become strong leaders in the body of Christ.
After more than three decades of service, Dr. P. Ray Johnson and Rev. Dr. Mrs. Joycelyn Johnson transitioned the leadership of VIM Global to a new generation of leaders. Though they no longer lead the ministry directly, they remain influential mentors, guiding the new leadership and supporting the ongoing mission of VIM Global. As founders and now emeritus, their passion for global outreach, leadership development, and educational excellence continues to inspire the work of VIM Global. Their vision to establish Bible schools worldwide and raise leaders who are committed to serving God and their communities remains at the heart of the ministry’s mission.
The impact of Dr. P. Ray Johnson and Rev. Dr. Mrs. Joycelyn Johnson can be seen in the over 30,000 students who have been trained through VIMTC, as well as in the numerous partnerships and connections that have been forged over the years. Through their leadership, VIM Global has become a trusted name in Christian education and ministry training, and their legacy of excellence continues to shape the future of global Christian leadership. As VIM Global embarks on its next chapter under new leadership, the influence and teachings of Dr. P. Ray Johnson and Rev.
