About CWE International

OUR MISSION

As the church has continued to advance in these changing times, and the many needs of women continue to intensify, we have responded to a charge from the Lord to host an opportunity for Christian women to come together for encouragement, empowerment, education, hope and healing. Our response is to be global because we have discovered in our research and travels that the needs of the woman in any inner city of the United States and the woman in any remote village anywhere around the globe, mimic each other. Recognizing that there is a host of opportunities available, we are not trying to duplicate, diminish, nor compete, we are simply offering an opportunity for the power of the Holy Spirit to minster to the needs of women locally and around the world.

OUR VISION

The Christian Women’s Expo International’s vision is to provide an environment for the Christian woman to laugh, to cry, to pray, to release, to heal, to learn, to shop and to leave empowered to live a more passionate life for Christ. The vision will be fulfilled through workshops, preaching/teaching, music, prayer and fellowship. Workshop topics will include relevant issues that meet women at their point of need, focusing on results and not just rhetoric. Our prayer is that the Kingdom of God will be advanced as women of God grow in grace and become the catalyst for other women to do likewise.
