Zariya Joseph shares a deeply personal testimony of faith, sexual purity, redemption, and God’s restoring grace.

Her spiritual journey began in early childhood through Catholic education, but her desire for a deeper relationship with God continued to grow. Years later, she discovered a powerful legacy of faith within her family through her great-grandmother — a Haitian evangelist and philanthropist who founded a house of prayer in 1972. Decades later, that very place became the setting of a life-changing youth revival that marked a pivotal moment in Zariya’s walk with Christ.

As a teenager, she became actively involved in youth ministry and made a heartfelt commitment to sexual purity. Her journey was not without struggle. She openly shares seasons of failure, guilt, and rededication — including her public declaration of faith through baptism in 2015 and a powerful recommitment to God in 2018.

During the uncertainty of the 2020 pandemic, God shifted her perspective and led her into a renewed connection with a longtime friend. With intentional faith, accountability, prayer, and biblical conviction, their relationship grew into a Christ-centered courtship rooted in abstinence and purpose. In May 2023, they entered into marriage — a testimony to the sustaining power of obedience and grace.

Today, Zariya serves as a Licensed Master Social Worker and Youth President, using her voice to encourage young people navigating faith, identity, and purity. She also prepares to launch her brand, “Faith Works,” dedicated to helping believers live productive lives anchored in Christ.

Her story is a powerful reminder that purity is not perfection — it is perseverance with God at the center.

This conversation offers hope, healing, and practical encouragement for anyone seeking to honor God with their life, relationships, and purpose.

Dr Glacia’s powerful testimony glorifies God and His mighty works in her life, for she was revived from the brink of death, restored, blessed and preserved. She was sick for five and a half years, her body weight plummeted to less than ninety pounds (90 lbs), passing through many hospital doors, surviving countless tests, wheelchair, feeding tubes, pampers and strong medications. But even though doctors gave up on her, holding on to the word of God, she declared Psalm 118:17 “I shall not die but live to declare the works of the Lord!” The prayers of the saints from all over the world went up to the Lord as a memorial on her behalf, and the powerful name of Jesus broke the curse of death and the spirit of witchcraft which was assigned to take her life prematurely. With the strong support of her husband Emerson, her precious mother Norah, her sister Alicia, her family and close friends, Glacia is here today as a walking miracle, and a testament to the fact that God has a purpose for her life. She lives each day to fulfill that purpose. Her ministry extends into international missions, inspirational and motivational speaking. She continues to encourage millions around the world.
