I greet you all in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus, The Christ!

What a delight it is to continue to serve you all in Jesus Name.  I find it difficult for me to wrap my mind around the idea of summer being upon us once again.  It does seem like just last week I was lamenting about the cool weather and now, I am melting!  I look forward to this new season of serving you, the Northeast Region of PWOCI.  Your Regional board has been hard at work these past few months preparing delights for each of you to partake of.  Our God is up to something great and we will provide more information as time goes on.

I am quite sure that many of you have already selected your new boards and are well on you way to planning a fantastic year for the women at your installations.  It is our desire as the Northeast Regional Board to come along side each of you and support you in prayer and as well as with our hands and our feet.  

As we move from "Preparing For The Bridegroom"  into "At The Redeemers Feet"  Let us constantly be reminded of what the ministry of PWOC is all about and how our Lord has called us to walk out these principles among the women we live with, love on and lead.  The ministry of PWOC is purposed to:

Lead women to Christ.  Essentially to positioning to hear the Gospel so that they may believe in Christ.  We mush Lead them, because they may not know the way to the Cross of Salvation, we should!

Teach women to believe in the Word of God.  To believe in the transforming power of God's Word through Bible study, prayer and praise and worship.  We must Teach them, because they don't know.

Develop women in their personal walk with Christ.  Through the skills of personal prayer and personal spiritual growth, allowing them to put their faith into action.  We must Develop women in their walk, because they need to be used of God.

Involve women in the work of the Chapel, Kingdom building.  Bringing all of their talents, gifts and exertion of energy to bear upon the mission of God.  We must Involve women in the ministry of PWOCI, because without their involvement we will cease to exist.  

When we as leaders and women who are involved in the ministry of PWOCI focus on these 4 aims, we are directed to the current mission of God through the hands and feet of His saints.  Which is bringing new souls into the Kingdom of God, the equipping of the saints, and the revelation of God's glory in our lives.  Ladies, we must not ever forget it is always about Jesus, it is never about us.  

I pray that as we enter this new season of renewed service and commitment that we will be wise and surrender all things to God.  It is only the surrendered things, what we have laid  "At The Redeemers Feet" that our Lord and Savior is able to redeem!  

Ladies, be blessed and know that you are greatly loved by your Heavenly Father.  And you are sweetly loved by your sisters in Christ.  We are the ones who strive along side you and God has knitted our hearts for ministry.  Enjoy your Summer, God has set aside delights just for you, don't miss them!

Show me Your Glory LORD!
