WOGIN in Africa
The above is just a small sample of the social concern ministry expression of Women of God International. In the African society where women often are “to be seen and not heard,” we see God raising up more women to serve him in leadership responsibilities both in the Church and elsewhere. Our mission is simple: to serve these ladies through prayer, evangelism, edification, teaching, social concerns and leadership events so that they in turn will serve the Body of Christ at the local church and across cultures.
In the African society where women often are “to be seen and not heard,” we see God raising up more women to serve him in leadership responsibilities.
We assist these women leaders with a variety of programmes and training. I recall one programme two years ago when we were able to have some men who were married to women preachers share their experiences in a programme called “Help, I Am Married to a Lady Minister!” Another workshop was on balancing home and ministry demands in a domesticated African women’s world. Such events underscore our vision to create appropriate ministry connections for women that cut across denominations, races and generations so as to equip, empower and raise virtuous women and honored servants of the Lord.
We are looking at how to set up local enterprise assistance programmes and a care centre and how to provide more connections for the school fees adoption program. There is room for local and international participation in this WOGIN vision.
What will it take to show love not to a crowd, but to one individual at a time?
