About Us
We are a group of Christian women seeking to grow in spirit and strengthen our relationship with the Lord. We are an interdenominational and international group where everyone is welcome. We believe we are washed by the blood of Christ and are saved by His grace. Our guiding principles are based on the Holy Bible alone.
The Bible is our manual; as an interdenominational organization, we are truly guided by the Bible. We try to stay away from any church doctrine and only depend on the word of God for direction.
Our Goals
-
Grow not only in numbers but spiritually (Acts 2: 42-47)
-
Support and pray for each other in all circumstances (Gal. 6: 2)
-
Meet regularly in our communities and also have events where our families can join the WOV (Heb. 10: 25)
-
Give the youth an opportunity to get involved so we can pass on the legacy (1 Kings 19: 15-21, 1 Timothy 1: 18, etc)
-
Rotate hosting of retreats in order to give other people a chance to bring in new ideas and do things differently but within the WOV guidelines. Keep the fees as low as possible and make them affordable for many people to attend.
Our Vision
Our goal is to mirror our characteristics according to Proverbs chapter 31. We come to praise and worship the Lord, pray without ceasing for our nations, families and the body of Christ. Our desire is to edify, educate, support, and respect each other by learning from His word and sharing testimonies of His grace (They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death Rev 12: 11). We want to use our great variety of spiritual gifts to serve one another.
