Ministry Focus

Women's Ministry

 

Whether it’s the rigors of motherhood, issues of equality, or severe forms of oppression, women face a unique set of challenges in almost every culture on earth. Yet, it has been said that Jesus did more to elevate the status of women than any other figure in history.

That’s why our missionaries are making sure women all over the world understand their value in the eyes of their Heavenly Father. From leading women’s Bible studies, to discipling pastors’ wives, to empowering at-risk women to escape abuse, every ministry seeks to ensure women know God’s love and become contributing members of His church.

Use Your Passion for Women’s Ministry on the Mission Field

Nearly every field we serve needs Godly women and men to come alongside women who are lost, abused, or marginalized and help them see that God has a redemptive plan for their lives. Our missionaries use a variety of ministries to reach women, including:

  • Addictions ministries
  • Bible Studies
  • Business ministries
  • Evangelism & Discipleship
  • Healthcare Ministries
  • Orphan Ministries
  • Pregnancy Clinics
  • Recovery Ministries
  • Sewing ministries
  • Sex-trafficking Ministries
  • Theological Education
  • Youth Ministries

If you are passionate about reaching and discipling women, we want to talk to you.

 

Is God calling you to use your skills on the mission field?
