The purpose of the Women Encouraging Women Ministry is to provide women an opportunity to come alongside another woman to encourage her. We help one another learn and apply biblical principles in our daily lives to glorify God in all we do.

Missions & Outreach
StreetWise
StreetWise Georgia Ministries is a non-profit 501c3 ministry that has been in existence for 23+ years serving the people of the inner city of Atlanta. God has used this ministry to meet physical, spiritual and emotional needs of people in the inner city and is now expanding the ministry to Gwinnett and Barrow counties. Along with providing clothing, food and other necessities, StreetWise hosts Bible studies and seeks to share the gospel with all who come to them for help. God has recently provided StreetWise with a facility to use which is located in Lawrenceville, GA on Cedars Road. Some of their needs include funding for the ministry as well as many volunteers to staff the facility.
Several opportunities to serve include: sorting items in the warehouse, boxing food for families, sorting clothing, front office greeter, intake volunteer and administrative duties as needed. If you are interested in volunteering, you must attend a volunteer information session as well as a training session so that you are equipped to help.

Prison Ministry
Each Thursday night, volunteer teachers lead women’s Bible studies at the GwinnettCountyDetentionCenter. Through music, prayer, and Scripture, many have come to know Jesus and/or to recommit their lives to Christ. Through a pen pal program, volunteers have a personal avenue through which to share Christ, encourage sad hearts, and bring hope. We also have an encouragement card ministry based upon specific prayer concerns of the women inmates. The lives of participating prisoners and, consequently, their families are truly being changed through this outreach. Come share in this joyous ministry.
