WOMEN OF RESILIENCE

• Promote and implement a lifestyle of prayer, praise and worship that will impact our church, community and nation.

• Set the captives free from every stronghold and help women become reconciled, renewed, restored, redeemed and revived through the Blood of Jesus Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit and the Grace of God. 

• To equip and empower women to maximize their potentials and to move from strength to strength with one mind, one spirit, one hope, one faith and one determination to advance the Kingdom of God. 

• Assist women in their spiritual growth and development. 

• Work in line with the vision of PPPMI and our Senior Pastor Apostle Kevin Marshall. 

Christ has given us the mandate in His Great Commission to “Go therefore and make disciples of all people in the world, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you, and I will be with you always, even to the end of the world” (Matthew 28: 19-20). 

The challenge is for us to become actively engaged in reaching people. God is calling us to go and make followers. He is not calling us to run from church to church, from personality to personality, from creature to creature, but to service, obedience, commitment and discipleship. This is not an optional event, it is an ongoing process.

1. We must pray more. The Bible says, “When Zion travails, she brings forth children” (Isaiah 66:8). The Church should travail in intercessory prayers night and day, until she produces sons and daughters in the family of God. This is one way the women can be involved. 

We envisaged meeting together for perpetual fasting and prayer, not only for our families but for Church, the community and for the world. Prayer is the engine of our Church and without prayer it will be impossible to fulfil our vision. 

2. We must go. We must go out into the communities, singing and preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. We must go into the schools, the workplaces, the social arenas, the hospitals, the nursing homes, the prisons and into the homes of the bereaved and bewildered; wherever the Spirit leads us. 

We have a vision of God’s people marching through our communities, holding services in strategic locations where permission is granted, and having strategic prayer walks. We also have a vision to equip and empower a team of women to go into foreign countries to minister as the Lord opens doors, making what seems impossible become possible. 

3. We must give. Working in conjunction with the Church’s corporate vision, we will provide clothing and food, where practicable, for the poor and needy. We will work together to provide Bibles, Christian literatures, gospel tracts and personal items to people in prisons, and give support and encouragement to single parents mothers, who are struggling to bring up young children on their own, widows, and those who are struggling. We are committed to give willingly and cheerfully of our finances, our time, our talents and to serve joyfully wherever we are called. 

4. We must love. Love must be the motivating factor for all Christian services. The love of God within us is our strength, our motivation and our driving force to reach the un-reached for Christ. We must move OUT of our comfort zones, INTO the spiritual battlefields of life, to rescue the perishing and care for the dying. We must demonstrate the love of God in our sinful world that is yearning for true love. 

Somebody somewhere is crying out to be loved and God loves that person enough to send His Son Jesus to die that he or she might live. Love should motivate us to win the lost at any cost. “Love is patient and kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. Love is not arrogant or rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily provoked, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres, Love never ends” (1Corinthian 13:7– 8). 

The Women of Resilience Ministries endeavors to move from strength to strength with one mind, one spirit, one hope, one faith and one determination to advance the Kingdom of God, through the implementation of its diverse ministries
