by Holly High
Why would a missionary want to go to another country on a Women of Grace GO team? I'm sure that's what people think when I tell them I'm hoping to be part of this year's team to Cambodia. After all, my husband and I are already deeply involved in missions, planting a church in Corrientes, Argentina. Read more |
| Encourage our Hispanic Sisters |
| | |
We are delighted to be able to provide a Hispanic Transformational Summit for our sisters from Spanish-speaking churches across the country. This is a tremendous opportunity for women who want to grow spiritually and minister to others but have few resources available in their own language. We are hoping that women who understand the value of such a gathering will join us to assure that no woman who has the desire to participate will miss out. If 100 women would each give $10, we could help with transportation costs and provide scholarships to the Summit for women who cannot come without help.

New Year's Resolutions  by Jennifer Fretz
For several years I stopped making New Year's Resolutions. What was the point? I never kept any of them anyway and, as far as I know, most others didn't and don't as well! I tried to get back on the saddle last year and I did make a few, but I can't say I really fulfilled any of them. They were all reasonable but I just kind of forgot about them after a while.
This year I started thinking about New Year's Resolutions a little differently. (more) |

What Happens When Women Say Yes to God by Lysa TerKeurst
|

|
Review by Christy Carmean
 It's that time of year again. The beginning. A fresh start. New goals, new plans. What will be different for you in 2014? How would you describe your life? What are you working to change this year? How might this year be different from last year? If you're like me, you desire that at the end of this year, you will be able to say that you are closer to God than you were a year ago. If that is true of you, Lysa TerKeurst's book, What Happens When Women Say Yes to God, might be a good way for you to start the year. Read Review |
