We invite you to join us as we investigate the global needs of women, discover ways to share our influence, and respond as God calls to involvement.
Motivated by the love and mercy of Jesus Christ, Global Women seeks to create global friendships among women for shared learning and service. An outcome of these friendships is our commitment to better understand the circumstances women of the world face, to respond holistically to their needs, and to endeavor to bring changes to their conditions.

A team of six women recently gathered in Los Angeles, California for a Prayer and Visioning Encounter for Human Trafficking.The team included representatives from First Baptist Church, Oklahoma City, OK; ProvidenceBaptistChurch, Cookeville, TN; Christian Women’s Job Corp/WMU, NC; Cooperative Baptist Fellowship Internationals Team; and Global Women.
This event provided opportunity to walk alongside some amazing people in LA who are committed to justice and mercy, especially as it relates to thousands -women, men and children -who are victims of modern day slavery. The team’s focus was to pray for the victims of human trafficking and those at risk of falling into the traps so viciously set.The team also spent time praying for those who are working tirelessly to rescue and restore lives that have already been affected, and for a vision of how each member and the organizations they represent could respond to God’s call to get move involved.
I tasted good food from a variety of cultures this week –Thai, El Salvador, Chinese, Mediterranean–what a delight to taste the variety of spices and textures followed by refreshing liquids, warm and cold, sweet and bitter, satisfying my hunger and my taste buds.
Mudan, after you had been sold by your parents and forced to work in a brothel at age 9, were you able to taste the soothing tea the madam offered you as she repeated “what a brave little girl you are?” When one of the nicer customers offered you some candy at the end of your task, could you experience its sweetness and perhaps smile briefly as you allowed it to melt in your mouth? Or, did that sensation in your body die along with the rest of you as you continued to breathe, but weren’t alive any longer?
