Women of Hope – Projects in the Neighborhood & Around the World
Some Local projects that receive monetary annual support include:
- We Help Clinic
- Haven of Rest
- Farm Workers Self-Help
- Resurrection House
National projects include those that teach job skills and leadership training to help women support themselves and their families. “Reaching out with the Gospel” covers part of the start-up cost for new congregations where no church exists.
International monetary gifts are used to train women in work and health skills and many other projects to get women and children out of poverty and to know and love Christ.
