Welcome to Women Ministry

Women’s Ministry Department seeks to inspire and encourage all women to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. All women are encouraged to share Christ with their families, friends, coworkers, neighbors, or strangers through developing friendship evangelism. Women are encouraged to share ideas and provide support for each other that will enhance their spiritual, social, academic, and physical wellbeing. They are motivated to lead out in enriching programs and to harness their hidden talents for the Honor and Glory of God. Women’s Ministries seek to build relationship within the community by doing outreach programs. All women should seek to adhere to
Proverbs31: 30 which states, "Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised." Through fearing God, we will develop the character that will open the flood gates of Heaven.

Past Events for 2022

Prayer Breakfast in the Abaco District

During the month of March ladies of all ages were beautifully arrayed in their pastel colors on the veranda of Wally’s Restaurant. Sis. Patrice Clarke spoke on Praying in the Last Days. According to Sis. Patrice, “A strong prayer life requires relationship and intimacy with God which we develop through spending time and reading His word. In the last days, we must pray for the Holy Spirit that will lead and guide us in the way we should go. This can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting. Fasting is not starving, but it trains us to obey God and not our flesh. We need to fast and pray so that distractions of this world, don’t keep us out of the Kingdom. Pray in these last days, that we remain faithful to God, that we are our sister’s keeper, for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, that our children and others to make it into the kingdom.”

Berry Islands in Ministry

The Berry Islands is comprised of a small company of believers who are deliberate in serving the community through various means. They share Jesus by delivering bread to shut ins once per quarter. Literature is distributed in every settlement and prayers are offered upon each visit. They also seek to engage women in the community as they participate in the worship services on Sabbath Mornings, weekly bible studies and daily prayer meetings at 5a.m.

This was well received as ten persons consistently intercede earnestly for the needs of each other. The impact of our outreach in the community is far reaching as souls are prepared to follow Jesus in Spirit and Truth. Women in the Berry Islands found our ministry trustworthy and confidential as they seek advice and counsel. Let’s continue to pray for the small group of believers in the Berry Islands as they minister unto God.
