Last month we talked about a group of young women who we are spending our time and focus on within PWOC. Remember her? We’re calling her Megan.

Well, what happens a few years down the road, and Megan is now ready to give back to the Lord, pouring back into the ministry that has mentored her in God’s Word and meaningful relationships? Through the discipleship process of Lead, Teach, Develop and Involve, now we see Michelle coming into play.

Michelle is a young woman who has been recognized by the local Titus II or maybe the president or advisor as an emerging leader.  She and her family have now moved a few times with the military. She volunteers. She asks questions. She seeks out those who can help her grow spiritually. Her kids are school-age, and she is realizing her giftings and talents can be used to help other women. Where is Michelle’s place in PWOC? In the chapels? In the communities?

Michelle is ready for local leadership and may be someone who’s identified as being on track for regional leadership, either on a board, a team or as a trainer. She seeks out some of the more seasoned women as mentors and is a quick learner. She wants to be discipled and will soon be ready to take other women through discipleship as well.

Michelle is ready to be used of God.

Does this sound like you? Or someone you’ve seen in your PWOC?

PWOC International loves to lead women to Christ.

But once she comes to Christ, there is a necessity for discipleship.

Michelle’s our gal. She’s ready to be taught the Word of God.

She’s ready to discover and develop her spiritual gifts, leadership styles, personality traits, even wants to know if she’s a Beaver, Otter, Lion or Golden Retriever! And she really wants to know what to do with all of those labels!

Michelle is ready. She’s ready to be involved in the work of her chapel because of the life, light and love of Christ poured into her through PWOC.

Are you Michelle?

Are you currently mentoring Michelle?

Let’s get on board with PWOC’s aims of progressive discipleship and train up the next generation of leaders within this ministry, to the Glory of God!

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 BridegroomLEAD 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 FeetTEACH 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 ScepterDEVELOP 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!

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.
