Women of Purpose

Bringing real change to other women across the world

World Concern’s Women of Purpose links North American women with poor, marginalized women in four countries overseas who seek healing, restoration, opportunity and freedom.

When you become a Woman of Purpose, you provide micro-loans and job training to “sister” groups of women and protect vulnerable children through rescue and shelter programs.

Through your prayers and support, you become a key advocate for women and children working their way out of poverty and hopelessness.

Sept. 18-20, 2008 - Women of Purpose volunteer training weekend

Proverbs 31:20, in speaking about a virtuous woman says, “She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.”

Together, let’s open our arms and extend our hands on behalf of women and children around the world.

Join us at the third annual Women of Purpose Training Weekend at our international headquarters in Seattle. I’m confident we will be challenged, equipped and changed.

This training will touch your heart. We CAN make a difference by combating poverty and preventing victimization of the world’s poorest women and children.

I look forward to meeting you!
