In a world where trends come and go, one fashion brand stands out for its unique designs and steadfast message of faith. Joshua 1:9 Collection, founded by Joseph Fawole, differs from your typical clothing line. Instead, it’s a global Christian apparel brand that merges fashion with ministry, offering believers a way to wear their faith with pride, confidence, and purpose. Joshua 1:9 Collection spreads the gospel with every collection through carefully crafted garments designed to inspire, uplift, and encourage. The brand draws its name from the powerful Bible verse Joshua 1:9, which says, “Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” This verse is the foundation of the company’s mission and is woven into every piece they create. Joshua 1:9 Collection serves as a fashion brand and a ministry, reminding believers to walk boldly in their faith, knowing God is with them every step.
Joshua 1:9 Collection isn’t just about creating clothing; it’s about creating opportunities for believers to share their faith. Founder Joseph Fawole explains, “We wanted to create something that speaks to faith and fashion. Our goal is for people to wear their beliefs confidently and use their apparel as a tool for evangelism.” Whether it’s a premium hoodie or a bomber jacket, each design is intentional, conveying hope and faith that can inspire those who see it. Their collection includes standout items such as the Jesus Christ Is Lord Premium Unisex Collection Line and The Lord’s Prayer Premium Unisex Collection Line. Both pieces have become fan favorites, celebrated for their comfort, quality, and, most importantly, their message. These garments are more than just clothing. They are conversation starters, helping wearers announce the Kingdom of God wherever they go.
Behind the success of Joshua 1:9 Collection is a family driven by their shared faith. Joseph, his wife Melinda, and their son Joseph II have worked together to build a brand that honors God in everything they do. Melinda, the co-founder and creative force behind the designs, ensures that each piece reflects the company’s mission. “Melinda is the foundation of this family and this business,” Joseph notes. “She has an incredible gift of aligning and finalizing the designs, ensuring that every creation reflects the message we want to share with the world.” Their son, Joseph II, serves as Chief Marketing Officer and has been instrumental in shaping the brand’s identity. His role goes beyond marketing strategies. He’s had a hand in nearly every design, infusing each piece with the message of Joshua 1:9. His dedication to spreading the gospel through apparel has contributed to the company’s growth and has had a profound impact on the community.
This year has been a season of growth and divine favor for Joshua 1:9 Collection as members of Free Chapel. The Fawole family was honored to participate in the Forward Conference 2024, a gathering that brought together 12,000-15,000 youth leaders and teenagers. Joshua 1:9 Collection made a significant impression, particularly the Jesus Christ Is Lord line, which resonated deeply with the younger audience. The brand’s presence at the conference resulted in a surge of new social media followers and brand ambassadors and an overwhelmingly positive response from attendees. “Our participation at Forward Conference 2024 was a blessing,” says Joseph. “The conference provided us the platform to connect with a younger audience, and our Jesus Christ Is Lord collection was incredibly popular.” The momentum from the event has propelled the brand forward, and it continues to expand its reach, connecting with believers who share their vision of faith-driven fashion.
As the year progresses, Joshua 1:9 Collection prepares to launch several exciting new lines designed to encourage and empower believers. One of the most anticipated drops is the Disciples of All Nations collection, featuring hoodies and t-shirts in White, Military Green, and Maroon. Inspired by Matthew 28:19, this collection reflects the Fawole family’s personal and professional journey of faith and growth. Another collection, Pure Hearted, is dedicated to promoting purity and sincerity in faith, while God’s Timing reminds wearers of the importance of trusting in divine timing. Ablaze celebrates the fiery spirit of faith with bold, passionate designs, and The Blessing focuses on gratitude and divine favor with designs that remind us of the blessings we receive. These collections are more than just fashion statements they are tools for evangelism. By wearing Joshua 1:9 apparel, believers are making a style statement and spreading the gospel wherever they go.
