Our Mission:
Our mission is to grow, serve and equip the last days’ church by reorienting to Book of Acts Style ministry. As the Bible teaches, all it takes is one woman to win an entire city to Jesus (refer to the Samaritan Woman). Our strategy is identifying, serving, equipping, supporting, mentoring and walking with women as they say “yes” to The Great Commission.
We envision simple, relational, home-based discipleship and organic evangelism that values each member of the body of Christ. We partner with local churches as well as with individuals from around the world to strengthen what God is already doing, providing all our resources free of cost.
We believe adequately preparing the body of Christ to go underground when and if necessary is vital for the coming of the Return of Christ. We believe the methods for that are already provided in scripture and demonstrated by the disciples and early apostles. We believe equipping the SAINTS (that’s you!) for the work of the ministry is the primary responsibility of the pastor, apostle, teacher, evangelist and prophet. We believe Jesus believed in women as instruments of fulfilling the Great Commission. We believe he used simple things like meals and homes to do so. In short, we believe everyday, ordinary women and their families being the key to end time harvest. We believe in YOU.
