Women on a Mission

                  To this you were called…that you should follow in His steps.  I Peter 2:21

We, the ladies of Women on a Mission, take the challenge of following in His steps very seriously.  To do so we have made it our goal to aide and encourage each other in doing just that.  Our plan is two-fold:  1) to grow in our own personal relationship with our Lord; and, 2) to serve Him with our Christian sisters as we minister to our world around us — and beyond.

Our monthly meetings help us in carrying out this plan.  First, our programs encourage our growth in Him as we examine the lives of women from the Bible and our present day who walk(ed) with Him.  Secondly, working together we have opportunities to reach out to our world both locally and globally.  Some of our local projects reach out to our own membership – the homebound and shut-ins, our college students, and our military.  Partnering with other agencies and contacts, we minister to those less fortunate than ourselves – individuals, families, orphanages, and prisons.  Globally, again through partnerships and special offerings, we assist in providing Bibles and educational literature along with the most basic needs of life.

We invite you to come and check us out.  We currently meet on the third Thursday of each month at 10:00am in Room 302.  We’re looking forward to seeing you this month!

Women on a Mission Meeting ~ September 16 ~ 10:00am ~ Room 302

“Listen Up!  Do You Want to Hear God’s Whisper?”

     Have you ever returned from a missions trip on a high and then felt completely wiped out the next week?  Or, have you ever planned a church program in which you worked hard, sparing no expense, but, afterward, nothing changed?  Is recovery from this kind of spiritual let down possible?  Studying Elijah’s reaction after his bold confrontation with the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel (I Kings 18:16-46), we learn that hearing the still, small voice of God jump-started his recovery.  Do you long to hear that still, small whisper?  Join us as we dig deeper into his example to find what actions on our part might be necessary for us to hear God’s gentle whisper.  When we’re down, we need to Listen Up so we, too, can move forward.

….Also, we will be taking a closer look at Human Trafficking and what Hope House in Asheville is doing to confront this atrocity and restore its young victims.
