Our October meeting in Chicago proved once again to be a time of inspiration, forward thinking and a realization of the huge task at hand to fulfill our mission. 2017 brought several new sisters into the women’s service team as others transitioned out. This team consists of the Elders Service Team wives and the wives of those on the Evangelist Service Team. The women on the Teachers’ Service Team have also been a part of the group. Together, we try to keep issues pertinent to the sisters around the world in focus as we seek to fulfill our team’s purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mission of the women’s committee is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspiring women globally to grow spiritually, connect, and advance the gospel.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of late, communication has still been pinpointed as the greatest service the women’s team can provide. Plans of developing a communications subcommittee that explores options of ways to gather and share spiritual resources and training materials for women in leadership was identified as a need we will work towards. We continue to send devotionals, lessons and good news concerning women to women church leaders around the world weekly. The response has been extremely meaningful. This also helps us to feel more connected.<\/p>\n\n\n

We landed on a decision to continue utilizing a globally recognized day to highlight our vision. The global “International Women’s Day” takes place every year on March 8th. The 2018 theme for us will be “Push for Spiritual Progress” So on March 7th of 2018 we will have a day of prayer and fasting for the sisters in all of our churches. Then we are asking that on March 8th the sisters around the world act on that prayer and push for spiritual progress as they serve God in whatever way God has so moved them. We feel that this event will be both unifying and productive and can continue to serve as an annual event for our sisterhood. Our goal is to continue to capitalize on this day each year. Annually we will come together in whatever ways we can to meet the needs of the women around us. Our vision is to see a greater level of unity through prayer, servitude, Bible studies, meeting the needs of the poor or even some day rallying women to hear God’s word preached at conferences around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
