Until this week the group, GJH Global Ministries, invited donations on its website. Joy did not respond to questions about his involvement, including whether he had cited his leadership of GJH when successfully applying to work at Hud. Photograph: HUDJoy and Jafry both lived in the Houston area recently and attended Lakewood, the megachurch there run by the television preacher Joel Osteen. A former business partner of Jafry, Garson Silvers, said Jafry was given his job at Hud after being recommended by Osteen’s mother, Dodie. Prior to joining Hud, Joy also ran J3 Global, which was advertised as a staffing agency and consultancy.
