In 2007, WMU NC brought together a group of young women and began engaging them to discover what it takes to get young women involved in missions and ministry. WMU NC has challenged the young women to use their ideas to lead young women in our state to understand their calling to live missional lifestyles and to challenge and equip them to do so.
One of the “firstfruits” of the young leaders group is an event called SHINE. (Read more about it in the box below.) The young leaders plan to expand their efforts to other areas to meet the need to involve young women in missions. Expect to see more exciting “fruits” as they continue to labor in this endeavor!
We need your help getting the word out! We are trying to build a database of young women so we can get information about the retreat to them. If you are in this age group or you know a young woman this age, please send your name or names of young women (including their complete address and e-mail) to the WMU office at cgarrison@wmunc.org or Attn: Cathy Garrison, PO Box 18309, Raleigh, NC 27619. Please do not send any names of anyone older than 29. This retreat is being planned by young women in that age group and we want to keep it for that age group.
If you would like to know more about new ministries with young women, please contact our Leadership Development/Training Specialist.
