The Vision

In February 2006, God gave me a vision for this ministry.   Of course, He didn’t fill in all the details, but He made it plain that my purpose is teaching the Word of God and praying for others.  I have been walking in obedience, waiting on God’s timing.  So more than two years have passed.  I have moved to Ohio, started a new job, found a new church home, and now God says it is time.  I still don’t have all the details. 

Our goals are:

1. To exhort – to excite by argument; urge to good deeds; preaching, encourage, strengthen and stimulate  women for the cause of Christ
   
2. To mentor, coach, and disciple the Body of Christ
   
3. To correct by the Word of Truth
   

4. To equip Christian professionals for marketplace ministry

To spread the Good News of Jesus Christ

Blow the Trumpets!  Numbers 10:10 (NLT),“Blow the trumpets in times of gladness, too, sounding them at your annual festivals and at the beginning of each month to rejoice over your burnt offerings and peace offerings.  The trumpets will remind the Lord your God of His covenant with you.  I am the Lord your God.”  

 Please come and help me celebrate what God is doing.
