Central Region Update

regional review, Testimonies, Who are we
Aug 172010

Submitted by Kristin Hathaway, Central Region President

Remember your leaders who first taught you the word of God. Think of all the good that has come from their lives, and trust the Lord as they do. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Hebrews 13:7-8 (NLT)

When I interviewed for the position of Central Region president, I was asked who I could point to as a model of a good regional president. It was a question I had not anticipated, but I immediately thought of Ronda Sturgill, who was the West Region Coordinator several years ago. I wanted to emulate her because she was like Paul. Paul wrote lots of letters encouraging and instructing leaders in Christian living. Ronda made it a priority to contact the west region local leaders each month with a note of encouragement.

As a regional president, I have made a commitment to be intentional about communicating with the leaders in my region who serve at the local level. Intentional communication means providing timely information, as well as making myself available to answer questions or provide tools and training.

For those of you who serve locally on a board or a ministry team, or for those of you who are feeling God’s call to get more involved, remember that there are resources available to you. Your regional boards are in place to help you be successful as you minister to women on the local level.

Jesus Christ is the message we preach and it is our number one aim to lead women into a relationship with Him. Regional and International board members want women to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. As we discover new ways to reach women with the message of Jesus, the bottom line is the same: Jesus is the answer! The ways we communicate his message may look different through the years, but Jesus stays the same.

I am so thankful for leaders like Ronda and Paul that I can emulate as I minister to the women in my region. I pray my light will shine brightly so that women will glorify my Father in Heaven!

Lead, Teach, Develop, Involve!!!!

Bits & Pieces, Leadership Development, Leadership Wednesday
Aug 262009

Submitted by: Vickie Cox, Europe Region President

As I was driving to the commissary the other day, I was listening to the Bible on CD. I started thinking about our past themes and this year’s theme…this is what the Lord revealed to me.

Prepare for the Bridegroom – LEAD women to Christ.  We prepared women to meet their Bridegroom, studied the customs of a Jewish wedding versus a Christian wedding and we learned whose we are…we LED women to a deeper understanding of Christ.

At the Redeemer’s Feet – TEACH women about the Gospel. We spent the year, like Mary, at our Redeemer’s feet. Being filled with the Good News. We chose the better!

Arise for the Lord Extends His Scepter – DEVELOP women’s gifts, talents, etc. This year we are to Extend our knowledge of Him as He Extends our boundaries! I am excited about this one.

INVOLVE women in their communities, chapels, etc…  Hmmm? Where will the Lord lead us next year? Stay tuned…the Lord is at work in PWOC!

Our Four AIMS!!!

News & Announcements, Who are we
May 212009

One of the coolest things about PWOC is that we have four aims that every PWOC chapter works and abides in.  Every thing we do is put through the looking glass of the AIMS.  How awesome is that?  We are all working in one accord, no matter where we are on the globe.

Our Four Aims are:

  • To Lead women to accept Christ as their personal Savior.
  • To Teach women the beliefs, history and programs of the church; all built on a solid foundation of worship and bible study.
  • To Develop in women the skills of Prayer,evangelism, stewardship, and social service, against a background of personal spiritual development.
  • To Involve women in the work of the Chapel, in keeping with their abilities and interests.
