There is a need


It is apparent to us that there is a universal need for women to be affirmed in their identity. Women have often been abused and denied the truth about who they are. They need help to understand their identity, to identify their gifting and to unleash their gifts to impact the world for the kingdom of God.

“We exist because there is a universal need for women to know God’s love, their priceless value, unique design, and to acquire tools to fulfill their purpose.”

Did you know?



The United States

Women in the Unites States have the vote.

Women in the United States have opportunity for education.

Women in the United States have more freedom than most women in the world.

But American women often do not feel valued, are confused about who they are, and long for lives that count for eternity.


Women in the US are confused. They think their worth is in their role: as career woman, homemaker, or sex symbol. But God created them in His image.


God wants these women to know who they are in Him – woman is created in His image (Genesis 1:27)

The Middle East

There are 22 Countries in the Arab world. 166 million women live there. Most Arab women do not go to school or work. Consequently about 60% of Arab women cannot read or write. Most Arab women don't go to school or work. They are often poor and unable to support themselves and their children. They often do not have the opportunity to even choose their husband. In most cases he is chosen by the young woman’s parents. And men have the legal right to abuse their wives.

Eastern Europe

After 40 years of communism, there is a great lack of Christian, moral influence. One specific area of Romanian society in which this is most evident is the status of women in society. In both the public arena and the home, women are traditionally looked upon as “second class citizens”, at best. While the evangelical church has recognized this and is attempting to address it, there is much to be done before significant change will be seen.


In Post Communist countries we find that women’s worth is denigrated, but: God created them in His image.
