ABOUT US
Women of Hope is a ministry of Healing Hands
that seeks to strengthen women around the world through education, business
training, and microfinance. Our work is accomplished by our international staff
in countries like Kenya, Uganda, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Ghana, and Haiti.
Our Women of Hope coordinators host trainings, and support and encourage
the women they work with.
We
are always overwhelmed by the ripple impact of workshops and businesses. Time
and time again, we see that when these women are empowered and earning an
income, they send their children to school, share their new knowledge with
others, and serve their communities. We truly believe that when women are
empowered to dream, communities thrive.
Women
of Hope is a
program of Healing Hands International. Our mission is to aid, equip,
and empower those in need around the world in the name of Jesus Christ so they
might experience God’s healing grace through programs like clean water,
agriculture workshops, women entrepreneurship, disaster relief, and more. To

SUNDAY MORNING ASSEMBLY
SHIFT YOUR FOCUS:
Lessons from 1st Corinthians
Last week we finished the first section of our 1st Corinthians
study where Paul urges the church to focus on God’s ways rather than having a
worldly perspective. In short, we can look in the wrong places for guidance and
end up hurting ourselves and our church family.
Sunday, February 19th, through April 2 we will
be looking at chapters where Paul gets a little more specific, admonishing the
church in Corinth to be intentional about their own selfishness. Our goal
should be the same, to admit our own selfish desires and deal with them by
focusing on God’s desires for our daily living.
